When Jamarion returned home for the new year, na had moved into her apartment. ric’s residence was in the same neighborhood as hers but not in the same building.


    Moreover, ric’s apartment was much smaller than hers, with two bedrooms and a living room, while hers had three bedrooms and two living rooms with clear types of use.


    After she and her mother, Emelia, had furnished it, Julian came to check to see if everything was settled for her to make her solitary lifefortable and cozy.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    But the house was chosen by ric himself. And ording to him, he seldom came back to his house because he spent most of his time shooting on the set. Thus, a big house was unnecessary.


    Besides, every time he finished shooting, Emelia would ask him back home for dinner. At times he stayedte and slept at his parents’ house, although his father always showed dislike.


    What bothered Julian was that the reporters were always secretly waiting at the entrance of his home to take pictures of ric, making it very troublesome for him to go out with Emelia every time. When they were young, he and Emelia were photographed a lot by the reporters and paparazzi. Later, the reporters paid less attention to them and they could finally live a quiet andfortable life.


    But they never expected ric would shoot to stardom and make them the center of attention again. Jamarionnded at Riverside City Airport at four o’clock at night. He took a taxi himself and went straight to na’s apartment. Nobody was there to pick him up because he had told everyone that his return date was the next day.


    He deliberately came back early because he wanted to meet na secretly first; otherwise, it would not be easy for him to be with her aler, for he knew that Julian was very wary of him.


    The car pulled over downstairs at na’s apartment. He carried his suitcase upstairs and called her outside the door first.


    He knew she must still be sleeping now, and his arrival at this time would wake her up, but he couldn’t care too much. He just wanted to see her first. He had been missing her for more than six months since they were apart. He missed her every day so dreadfully. The sleeping na was woken up by the phone, and when she saw that the number was Jamarion’s, she was shocked and suddenly sat up in bed, “Jamarion? What’s going on?”


    She quickly picked up the phone and asked the question.


    She and Jamarion had a time difference, so usually, theirmunication was not at this time when she was sleeping at home. So, she instinctively wondered if something had happened to Jamarion to make him awaken her at this time.


    “I’m outside your door,” Jamarion responded, slightly weary.


    “What?” na was in great shock.


    “Aren’t youing back tomorrow?” She asked as she got out of bed and rushed to the door. She froze when she saw Jamarion standing outside through the peephole.


    Her first reaction was to open the door, but then she realized she was still in her pajamas and said to Jamarion outside, “Wait a moment, I’ll change my clothes.”


    A few minutester, na, who was fully dressed, opened the door. The boy outside the door stepped in and hugged her tightly.


    “na, I miss you so, so, so much.”


    The boy hugged her and murmured in her ear, telling her how much he missed her.


    “I missed you so much that I wanted to see you first; I concealed it from everyone and changed my flight time to return early.”


    na listened to his sweet words and felt very moved.


    “I know Julian will be watching me very closely when I return, and I’m afraid I won’t have much time to spend alone with you…”


    Jamarion sighed in resignation.


    na pushed him away and chuckled, “You do know my father quite well.”


    She then said, “It’s cold outside. Let me fill a cup of warm water for you.”


    As the new year approached, it was more chilling in Riverside City. He rushed back in thete night, and though he was wrapped in a thick down jacket, he must feel cold.


    “No, I’m not cold at all. Your house is well heated.” Jamarion yanked her, unwilling to have her out of his sight for a second.


    “You don’t have to do that; family banquets will be held to celebrate the new year. We’ll see each other every day.” na just felt it was childish of him to cling to her, but jubnt at the same time.


    Even though her father would watch him closely, he couldn’t interfere in parties held by their peers. By then, they still had a lot of chances to meet, right?


    Jamarion raised his eyebrows and asked her softly, “Now, only Christina and Be know our bet, right?”


    “Yes.” na nodded.


    Jamarion thought for a moment and said, “Well, we should be careful when we get together. I think it’s better not to let other people, especially ric, know about it now. It’s difficult to keep it secret when many people have known it.”


    “If Julian knew it, I’m afraid you would have a bad time and he would me you.”


    na asked, “But he will know it sooner orter, won’t he?”


    But after saying this, na was a bit embarrassed because her words implied that she and Jamarion would be together in the future…


    Jamarion understood her meaning instantly. A smile touched his lips immediately, showing his good mood.


    Looking at na’s scarlet red face, he hastily said, “The result is different. I’ll let him know when I finish school and return home so that I can face everything with you.”


    “If Julian knew it, he might lose his temper with you. But I am reluctant to see you bear his anger.”


    “I hope he only aims at me, as I’m the one that persists in pursuing you.”


    His mother, Nina, had told him that men had an innate desire to protect their daughters and disliked any man who coveted their daughters. Therefore, Julian would create difficulties for him sooner orter.


    So he had long been prepared to face all the trouble given by Julian, but he was unwilling to let na suffer with him. He wanted to bear everything himself.


    naforted Jamarion who looked worried, “You are overthinking it. He won’t be angry with me.”


    “Besides, everything is under my mother’s control.”


    Her father didn’t dare disobey her mother.


    Unconsciously, she and Jamarion had started discussing how they would face her dad in the future. na was greatly surprised after realizing her change.


    But … she also quickly epted it.


    na nced at the sky outside and said, “Do you wanna take a nap here? You will wake up your parents if you return home at this time.”


    “Okay.” Jamarion agreed. So, na led him to the guest bedroom of her apartment.


    As na stood at the bedroom door, Jamarion apologized to her, “I’m sorry for disturbing you bying back suddenly. You still have to go to work, so you should sleep some more.”


    “I’m fine. You should rest first.”


    With that, na gently closed the door and returned to her bedroom. She did not know whether Jamarion had slept well. Nevertheless, she was wide awake and thus got up.
