His Domineering Lover

Tracey and Adam came to see her from time to time. Both of them marveled at the change in her body.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you were somebody trespassing in my precious daughter's apartment." Adam joked.

"I could just be, there's always that risk, isn't there?" Thirza said slyly.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that her smile was still as brilliant as before, making both Tracey and Adam quite delighted and relieved.

"Thirza, I heard that your studio is doing well. So is this gonna be a long-term thing for you here in Milan?"

"Of course not. I want to go back to Country S." Thirza never forgot why she came here in the first place.

"That's just as well. Either way, your mom and I have always respected your choice."

"Daddy, no matter what I do, will you always support me?" Thirza asked tentatively.

"Of course, haven't I been like this all these years?

Especially your mom, she's always indulgent of you." Adam put his head in Thirza's head and gave it a rubbing.

But he found that his daughter was already as tall as her mother. She was no longer the little tiger who liked to mess around.

"So can I take it as you will be okay with my choice of boyfriend? No matter who it is?"

Tracey was the first to speak. "Not necessarily. For the sake of your happiness, of course, we want to find a person that you can entrust your life with.

"He doesn't have to be from a wealthy or powerful family but he has to be the nicest person to you in the world. You can think of your boyfriend as your version of Avery."

"So all you care about is whether this guy is good to me?" Thirza seemed to have seen a glimmer of victory.

Her parents were different from ordinary rich families. Perhaps it was so because of the injuries they had suffered before.

Compared with the parents of those rich and powerful families who took their children as pawns and used their marriage as a step up the ladder, Adam and Tracey wanted their children to have real love.

Since childhood, they had been respectful of the choice of both Thirza and Serena. With the status of the Xiao family and the Xia family, either their daughters chose a boy of a royal family or a family living in the ghetto didn't really matter.

"Well, that's one thing he'd have to qualify. Why, you got your eyes on somebody?"

"No, I'm just asking. I will have my eyes on somebody sooner or later though, right?"

Adam and Tracey looked at each other. They had this hunch that Thirza was implying something, Why would she be asking such a question if she didn't have a boyfriend now?

"By the way, Mommy, how's Steve recently?" Thirza heard all the news about Steve from someone else's mouth.

Tracey gave her a flick on the head. "I've been waiting years for you to ask. You were the one who would rather die than leave him."

"And now that you are here, you haven't even paid him one single visit. You ungrateful little monster."

Thirza didn't know and couldn't tell her mom what was really going on in her head. She was the one who cared about Steve the most but she couldn't express her real feelings. "Well, I am asking about him now, aren't I? I heard that you set him up with another woman, how'd it go?"

"How come you, the president of a multinational enterprise, suddenly take an interest in hooking people up?" "Still as sharp as ever, aren't you? I knew you wouldn't really have changed, not that tongue of yours."

"If I don't worry about these things and force his hands, he's likely to die alone."

"He surely will not, not Steve," Thirza said and compressed her lips.

"How many times have I told you that you need to call him uncle? Why are you still so rude?" Tracey felt a little helpless.

"Now, back to the date we were talking about. How'd it go?"

"What do you expect? He said that he's got someone in his heart and he's gonna be waiting forthat someone."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Which is quite strange because I know all the women he knows but not one of them would he be into."

"Any chance you might know who it is?" Tracey asked.

The corners of her lips curled into a smile. She was very satisfied with Steve's excuse. "Mommy, how would I know? I haven't seen Uncle Steve for many years."

"Well, if he really doesn't want it, there's really not much we can do." Tracey sighed.

"That's right. Now, why don't you focus on being president rather than meddling in something irrelevant?" Thirza looked very happy.

After sending Adam and Tracey away, Thirza stood in the snow in her thick down jacket. It was the fourth winter.

She stretched out her hand to catch the cold flakes and happily swirled around in circles in the snow.

Steve waiting for her to go back. She would be able to go back soon. "Wait for me, Steve."

She would cross off each day on the calendar with an "X". Tonight she was working overtime for a design.

"Come on, Thirza, you gotta learn to loosen up a bit."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." The reason why she strived so hard was that she wanted to be a first-class designer sooner.

In this way, she would not let down the painstaking efforts that Steve had made to send her here. When they met again, she would appear in front of him with a brand new look.

However, before she could finish her design, she fell sick.

Without Steve to nag her into taking the

to take the medicine. Instead, she

She didn't even bothe

few sips of water and buried

herself back in work.

The snow kept on dancing in the air outside the house. A figure stood amidst the snow, still as a sculpture.

Over the years, Steve had been in Milan many times. But never once had he approached her. Instead, he would only stand from a distance. Looking at the girl sitting in the studio who was working nonstop at her work.

She was working overtime again, which was almost an addiction of hers, regardless of the harm it could do to her body. When he saw the girl's head suddenly drop to the table, he realized she must have fallen asleep due to the extreme fatigue.

On such a cold day, it was easy for her to catch a cold if she were to sleep on the table like this.

Steve snuck into the studio, holding the blanket and trying to put it on her, only to find that her face was abnormally red.

He put his hand concernedly on her forehead, only to find she was burning hot.

Steve wrapped the blanket around Thirza and took her to the hospital.

After being separated from her for so long a time, Steve realized that Thirza had grown up quite a bit and her hair much longer.

Her slightly curly long hair covered her face, adding a mysterious charm to her face.

His Thirza really turned into a big girl. Steve had been quietly watching her in front of the hospital bed.

Thirza seemed as if she was having a dream, "Steve..."

"I'm here." he was surprisingly taken aback by her murmur.

Thirza kept mumbling, "Wait for me, Steve, wait for me."

She repeated that sentence over and over. Steve caressed her hair, focusing on her almost enchanting features.

Steve slowly covered her lips. As their lips touched, Steve's heart started thumping.

Thirza subconsciously took his lips

in. She saw Steve in her dream, who

was gently embracing her, kissing

her, booking at her with infinite

gentleness in his eyes.

If this was a dream, she would rather stay in the dream forever.

At dawn, she opened her eyes. There was no trace of Steve by her side. She touched her lips.

Why was the kiss so real?
