“Really? You’ve found that person already?” Maria stood up from her chair as soon as she received the message from her agent, asking seriously, “Who is that person? Can I go see him?”
If it wasn’t for this despicable person, Kim wouldn’t have been injured trying to save her. Maria’s heart was filled with anger and she was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to vent.
Seeing this, the agent waved her hand and gestured for Maria to sit down.
Right after that, she spoke slowly, “Calm down first. I don’t know who the person in the company is, but even though we caught him, there seems to be no news about the person cooperating with him. Moreover, there must be a mastermind behind this. Find that mastermind, and you can take action and seek justice.”
“Why wait?” Maria, sitting with crossed arms in the chair, expressed her anger, “It’s simply outrageous. No matter how many people are behind this, I won’t let them get away with it.”
At that moment, someone gently knocked on the door of the lounge. The agent stood up to open the door and was surprised to find Kim standing there.
Maria, who had been curiously craning her neck to see the entrance, immediately brightened up when she saw Kim. She rushed towards him with a radiant smile.
However, the next moment, Maria reached out and touched Kim.
“Why are you here? Is your injury healed? Why aren’t you resting properly…”
She rambled on for a while, and Kim, feeling helpless, smiled and pulled Maria’s cheek.
“You asked me this morning, and I told you I’m fine. No need to worry.”
“What, am I not allowed to care about you? Do you think I’m annoying?” Maria pouted, looking displeased at Kim and deliberately turning her body away, as if sulking.
Seeing this, Kim reached out and embraced Maria’s waist, giving her lips a gentle peck.
“How could I dare? I’m still waiting for you to nag at me for a lifetime.”
However, Maria turned her eyes, a hint of cunning flashing through them. She pointed at Kim’s chest, deliberately creating distance between them, and said playfully, “Well, you still find me annoying.”
Kim was momentarily stunned, about to say something, when her agent standing beside them coughed heavily.
“As a couple who’ve been together for almost three months, can you two pay attention to the occasion and time when displaying affection?”
Her agent had become numb to their lovey-dovey behavior.
While Maria would have felt a bit embarrassed earlier, she now looked at the agent with indifference, displaying a proud demeanor, clearly looking down on the single agent.
Biting her teeth, the agent took a deep breath to calm herself.
Kim, on the other hand, hooked Maria’s cheek, turned to the agent , and said, “I checked Maria’s schedule for today; it seems she doesn’t have anything in the afternoon.”
“What, are you taking her out on a date?” The agent paused for a moment and continued, “Fine, I’ll let her go with you.”
Kim grinned, then took Maria’s hand and walked out, saying, “I’m borrowing her for a while.”
Maria followed Kim, curiously asking, “Where are we going?”
However, Maria never expected Kim to say such words, “We are going to meet my parents.”
“What!” Maria stiffened on the spot, unable to take a step forward.
She looked at Kim in disbelief, as if suspecting that her ears were playing tricks on her.
“Go, go meet who?” Maria asked uncertainly again, but her heart was already pounding.
“My dad and my mom,” Kim smiled at Maria.
Maria, now completely unable to manage her expressions, stood still, suddenly remembering something and said to Kim.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this in advance? What am I supposed to do now?”
Moreover, Maria had met Kim’s mother before, and she was worried about giving a bad impression. She never expected that, in just three months of being together, they would be meeting Kim’s parents.
“Kim…” Maria’s voice sounded a bit disoriented. She looked down at Kim holding her hand and said with a gloomy tone, “Can we not go? I’m not ready yet.”
“Maria.”
Seeing this, Kim reached out, touching Maria’s shoulder and turning her to face him. “Why are you so uneasy?”
“I feel like your parents won’t like me. Plus, you was hospitalized because of me before. I feel like I’ve been causing you trouble…”
Maria admitted that at this moment, she was full of fear. She dared not face Kim, so she didn’t dare to face Kim’s parents.
“Darling.” Kim cupped Maria’s cheek, his voice unusually gentle. “Look at me.”
Maria bit her lower lip lightly, raised her eyes to look into Kim’s gaze. Kim reached out and embraced her, gently stroking her soft, long hair.
“Why do you always attribute all the problems to yourself? You’re innocent and haven’t done anything wrong.”
“But…” Maria’s words were cut off by Kim.
“No buts, Maria, you are the one I deeply love. I want you to be free, doing things you love every day, carefree and happy, not feeling insecure like this.”
Kim’s voice was low and slow, like gentle water, gradually enveloping Maria’s innermost thoughts.
“I would feel uncomfortable if you’re like this. Have I done something wrong somewhere, making you hesitate, fear, or even withdraw?”
Hearing this, Maria placed her hand over Kim’s lips and spoke softly, “You’re fine now. It’s just that I… haven’t thought about those things and am not ready to accept them.”
“I’m sorry; I was a bit hasty.” Kim spoke gently.
After that, he planted a kiss lightly on Maria’s forehead.
“But today, you still need to meet my parents.”
Although his words just now did have a probing meaning, there was a premise.
“Why?” Maria looked up in confusion.
“I’m taking you to a party tonight, and my parents should be there too.” Kim said seriously.
“What party?” Maria took a deep breath, speculating in her heart if it was the Ragsdill family’s family party.
