As their vacation ended, the three of them finally said their goodbyes to Z Town and returned to L City. Although there were a few more days until the school break ended, Neil could not leave the company for too long, or else, Assistant Shawn would have a mental breakdown, dealing with important matters in Neil's stead.

Edith spent her time accompanying Hazel doing various interesting activities to fill in the girl's time.

After coming back to Neil's place for a few days, Edith was beginning to think that Neil's speech about him being able to talk a little more because he was comfortable with her was total bull crap.

Every word was just nonsense he spurted so that he can get away with kissing her. 

This man would find a way to steal a kiss whenever possible whenever little Hazel was not looking.

In the beginning, Edith found that his action was cute and she kind of enjoyed his attention and the thrill of kissing with the risk of being caught by little Hazel. However, after a few days, Edith began to think that perhaps, this man was just a wolf in sheep clothing! A total flirt!

This man was so good with his honeyed words that later on, she would be persuaded and seduced. Even if she wanted to get mad at him for stealing kisses, she would then change her mind.

What comfortable? He was just saying those to trick an innocent lady! 

Edith was beginning to worry about whether her decision to continue living with Neil and Hazel was the right one.

Fortunately, Neil was someone who knew his limit. Though he loved to steal kisses, he had never touched her inappropriately.

Anyway, it was not that she was going to let him pass if he had ever initiated anything funny. She could always twist his hand and throw him over her shoulders. 

Edith had decided that before he began to understand him a bit more, and fall deeper in love with him, there was no way that she was going to let him do anything else. A relationship should be built slowly and carefully for it to grow sturdy. 

On the last day of the school break, Edith decided to bring Hazel to Lily's place. The two have long discussed Hazel and Alex's play date but was rarely had the chance to organize one.

Edith still had to tell her best friend of what happened during her vacation in Z Town and it would be better to speak with her friend in relaxed surroundings.

Knowing her friend, Edith knew that she was going to ask her about her confession plan when they see each other in school. Then, Lily will not let her go until she was done with her interrogation and find out everything she needed to know.

Therefore, to avoid her colleagues' curious gaze, Edith decided to come clean to her friend. 

As they arrived at Lily's place, Alex immediately took his friend to his playroom to show the new Gundam model that his father had bought for him last week.

These days, the two kids' relationship had gotten closer due to their interest in those models. Alex found that Hazel was very meticulous with the way she was assembling the models and soon came to like dragging the little girl to help him with the model.

As long as Edith bought Hazel along with her, Alex would not disturb her with his model, allowing her more chance to chat with Lily. By now, there are two models that the two have worked on together.

As the kids were in the playroom, Edith followed Lily into the kitchen. Her gaze fell on the basket of chilies and knew that Lily was going to make her accompany her to eat spicy food again.

"How is your confession plan?"

Sure thing, those were the first question that Lily would ask.

Lily was aware of her friend's feelings towards the cold president and knew this friend was going to confess her feeling before her days of living together with the uncle and niece ended. 

However, recently, Edith had rarely mentioned this plan again and Lily was wondering if Edith had a change of mind. 

"I'm not going through with it," Edith said.

Lily's hand that was cutting some onions paused and Edith took a step back upon seeing the knife in her friend's hand. Aware that she was holding a dangerous weapon, Lily put the knife on the chopping board and frowned. "Why? What's wrong?"

"Well." Edith shrugged. "It's pointless."

The frown on Lily's face deepened. "You really changed your mind? You don't like that ice block anymore? What is it? Why is it pointless?"

Edith chuckled at her friend's anxious face. 

Most people would tell her to forget those feelings towards someone like Neil Mo as the two of them were from a different background and status. Although Neil might agree to date her, they would be convinced that Neil was only hooking up with her for some reason and the relationship would not last long.

However, Lily was very positive when she had mentioned her feelings for Neil. Instead of discouraging her, Lily had fully supported her idea to confess. If Neil accepted the confession, then, that would be good news. If he did not, well, it was his loss. 

Lily had always admired Edith after she had rescued her from those bad guys in Z Town. After spending a long time with this friend, Lily came to like this friend a lot and knew that anyone would be lucky to be with her friend.

Edith shifted her weight between her feet and made an escape plan just in case if Lily would pounce on her after she broke the news.

"It's pointless because I don't have a reason to confess."

"You don't like him anymore?"

"No." Edith laughed. "It's not that." She glanced around to ensure that there was no one else around. Then, Edith took a deep breath and said, "We are already in a relationship, so continuing that confession plan would be pointless."

Lily stared at her friend with wide eyes and thought that perhaps her ears were playing tricks on her. 

"You did not hear wrongly. I am in a relationship with Neil Mo. Hmm." Edith tapped her fingers on her chin. "Right now, we are dating. He is my boyfriend."

"Dating!" Lily raised both hands to put them on Edith's shoulders but was stopped before she had the chance to do so.

"Wash your hand before you touch me," Edith reminded.

"Oh!" Lily walked over to the sink and turned to her friend. A cursing word escaped her lips as she thought of what she had just heard. "Dating! How did that happen? Don't tell me that you were unable to resist that man's charm that you decided to push the plan forward?"

"It was Neil who confessed to me."

Lily gasped. Then, cursed again.. "Edith Qian, if you did not tell me what is going on, I am not letting you leave this place. If you dare to escape any details, I won't let you go!"
