“No,” I refused without hesitation

Caleb stared earnestly, saying, “Oh, come on.

Just a peek.

Please?”

Caleb was getting annoying.

At the end of my rope, I said to him seriously, “Caleb, this is a secret between me and Zoe.

I can’t tell you.

Otherwise, she won’t let me go.

Although it was unfair to Harlan that I sold his embarrassing video in exchange for Zoe’s forgiveness, I had my reasons.

I firmly believed that Harlan wouldn’t blame me if he knew why I did it.

“Okay, fine.

” Caleb stopped pestering me about the video.

“Then be careful when you come into contact with Zoe in the future.

And if there’s anything you can’t solve on your own, just come to me.

I’m here for you.

Caleb’s words made me feel unprecedentedly secure and assured.

Perhaps he had many shortcomings, but there was one thing that couldn’t be denied.

He always put my safety first.

After parking the car, Caleb walked me to the door, but he didn’t come inside.

I turned around and asked, “Why are you just standing there, Caleb?

Come on in already.

But Caleb didn’t budge.

He just pursed his lips and looked at me aggrievedly.

“You asked me to move out, remember? Are you saying I’m allowed inside your house now?”

I was stunned for a moment.

Clearly, I had only said those things in a fit of anger.

Why’d he bring it up now?

Did my words hurt him?

Feeling embarrassed and guilty, I changed the subject and complained

“Caleb, I’m so hungry.

Come on and cook something for me.

Caleb Looked at me in confusion.

Then he understood what I meant and cracked a small smile.

Although the smile on his face was faint, it had an extraordinary charm that was irresistible to me.

I blushed slightly and quickly turned around so that Caleb wouldn’t see my reaction.

When I reached the Living room, a strange man suddenly appeared at the door of Elena’s room.

His face was painted in various, weird colors, obscuring his features.

Only a pair of pupils were recognizable under the thick layers of makeup.

“Oh, my God! You’re finally back!” the man wailed.

Only when I heard the voice did I recognize that this strange-looking man was none other than Carlos.

Caleb squinted at him and asked curiously, “What happened to your face,

Carlos?”
