"Honey, we have a guest."

Lily was still speaking to Edith about matters that would make one blush when she heard her husband's voice. Turning around, her eyes widened as she saw that Neil Mo was walking in right after her husband. Instantly, Lily released her grip on Edith's arms and stood up straight.

"President Mo!"

Neil nodded before he shifted his gaze to his girlfriend. He thought about the scene that he saw when he walked in where his girlfriend was being hugged by another woman, and his face turned slightly dark.

"I heard that your son is a good friend of my niece. Since today is your son's birthday, I decided to come over as well." Neil lifted the paper bag in his hand and handed it over to Lily. 

"Then, President Mo, why don't you take a seat first. I will go and find Hazel," Lily said. She took the cake from her husband and place it on the table. Then, she grabbed her husband and dragged him inside.

Lily was not sure whether it was just her imagination or not, but she had this feeling as if she should run and hide when President Mo turned to look at her. 

"Honey, so it's true that Edith brought over President Mo's niece here?" Ethan asked as they entered the kitchen. He had met that little girl a few times and had a good impression of Hazel Mo.

"Yes," Lily nodded. "You remember that your son had been building some models with her friend, right? That friend is President Mo's niece."

Ethan muttered a cursing word. "I was so scared when I saw him walking back and forth in front of our door. I thought that I have seen things wrongly. I almost dropped Alex's cake." 

Though they were in two different business circles, Ethan had admired Neil for a long time. They were around the same age and Ethan had heard how Neil Mo and his brother had brought up MH Group when it was on the brink of bankruptcy. 

"But that's not right." Ethan frowned. "Even if Alex and President Mo's niece are close, why would he appear at our door with a birthday present? Don't parent normally drop their child and left?"

After all, his son's best friend, Tyler Lu was dropped by his parents to attend Alex's birthday party and they will pick up their son when the party ended later. 

"There is something else that I haven't tell you," Lily spoke after pondering about it for a while.

"What is it?"

"That… Edith is currently dating President Mo." Lily smiled innocently when she saw the shocked look on her husband's face.

…

Meanwhile, Edith looked at the man in front of her and smiled. "Why are you here?"

"Aren't you and Hazel here as well?"

Edith laughed. "President Mo, I did not think that you would be willing to free your time to attend a child's birthday."

Neil frowned at how she addressed him. "That's where you are wrong." He watched as she raised her brow in a puzzled look and chuckled. "I am here to spend my time with you and Hazel."

Her heart skipped a beat at his words and a pretty smile bloomed on her lips. Her darling was really good at saying things that would make her heart flutter. At the thought that this cold man would only spare his energy to say those sweet words to her, Edith felt as if her heart was about to burst.

Neil closed the gap between them. His hand moved to trailed his fingers along her arms. "Are you scared?"

Edith looked at him, knowing that he was asking about the matter in his office.

Slowly, she lowered her gaze. They were so close and her head rested on his chest. 

After kissing each other passionately in Neil's office the other day, Edith sat up with her hair messed up and her clothes were slightly disorganized. The man above her was staring back at her with his eyes darkened with lust, tempting her and she was unable to look away. 

They have kissed each other many times once they started dating, but that was the first time that it has gone that intense and feverish. His kisses turned her on and Edith was suddenly afraid of how he had made her feel.

She liked his kisses and touch and wonder if it was normal to feel that way.

At the thought that what could have happened, Edith suddenly grew frightened.

She liked Neil very much but was not sure if she was ready for the next stage. She had imagined throwing him on the sofa and have her way. But, she had no experience in that area and did not know what she should do. 

Thus, Edith has been minimizing her interaction with Neil to calm down.

But the angel and devil on her shoulder have been arguing for days... But, she still could not figure out what she wanted to do.

It was then that she decided to talk to Lily about this matter.

"I won't do anything you don't want," Neil whispered. "Therefore, don't try to avoid me."

Edith chuckled. "It's not what you think." She lifted her head and suddenly thought that his worried expression was a little cute. "Well, I will tell you something, but you... don't laugh."

He nodded. 

"You… are good looking and so good at kissing." She lowered her head again. The redness on her cheek spread to her neck. "I was afraid that if I spend my time alone with you, I would not be able to hold myself." 

For a few seconds, Neil thought that he had misheard things. This… seemed like the wrong script.

"What?"

"I wanted you to kiss me and then… I started to think about 'that'. Then, I grew afraid and I did not know what to do." She looked at him and swallowed. "It's that feeling of wanting something, but knowing that I am not fully ready for it. Do you understand?"

Neil nodded although he did not know whether he could follow her words.

"I was not trying to avoid you. Just that... I need some time to calm down and straightened up my thoughts."

Neil was in disbelief as he continued to listen to her words. His heart lightened knowing that he did not make a mistake. But knowing that she wanted him as much as he does turn his body a little bit hot.

"Then, have you calm down?"His voice was hoarse.

"Un." Edith nodded. "But you're here. My thoughts are running wild again." 

Neil was speechless. Why is his girlfriend so weird? Why didn't he knew that his girlfriend can be this shameless?

His throat rolled when Edith traced her fingers up to his chest. Before he could grab her restless hand, Edith had taken a step back.

"I really shouldn't."

This silly woman was really testing him!

Neil took a deep breath to calm down. "I really wanted to know what was going on inside your head."

Edith blinked.. "Don't you know? Right now, it is filled with you."
