Chapter 1969
...
In E and M entertainment.
Desmond had just finished a vital signing ceremony and returned to the company.
The secretary by the side was reporting his schedule. However, Desmond didn't listen to him. He frowned and stared at his phone.
He had just called Mia, but no one answered.
He was able to get through, and she didn't hang up on him.
Desmond recalled his conversation with Tina in the morning. Yet, Mia didn't answer the phone. He could no longer sit still.
He stood up from the high back chair.
Seeing that he took his coat and left, the secretary said in a panic, "Mr. Chin, there are two more meetings..."
Desmond waved his hand. "Cancel them!"
When his wife didn't answer the phone, how could he attend a meeting with a cool head?!
Desmond drove one of his fancy sports cars to a university.
His car caught everyone's attention even before it stopped.
Desmond used to enjoy the proud feeling of being surrounded by women. Even his casual glance could light up their eyes. However, with only Mia in his heart, he wasn't in the mood to do that today.
Desmond parked his car and suddenly realized that he didn't know which department Mia was in.
But he could easily find it out.
Desmond went straight to the president's office. After explaining the situation to the president, he got Mia's files.
She was a sophomore in the civil engineering department.
Desmond was amazed when learning that his young wife with an elfin face was studying a laborious major.
When he arrived at the lecture hall, it was just lunch break.
Many students holding books were walking out one after another.
Desmond leaned against the window and waited for a while, but he didn't find Mia. He stopped a student who had just walked out and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where Mia is?"
This student happened to be Aubree.
Aubree asked, "Who are you?"
Desmond smiled politely. "I'm her husband."
The moment he said it, somehow, a wave of happiness flooded his heart.
Aubree raised her eyebrows and looked him up and down quickly. She was amazed by his outstanding appearance, thinking that he was indeed a perfect match for Mia.
However, she did not forget that there seemed to be a quarrel between them.
Although Mia shook her head and denied it, Aubree could tell from her expression that her husband displeased her.
So she replied indifferently, "Mia has left."
"Oh." Desmond was taken aback.
He looked into the classroom and found Mia was not among the few students.
"Well, there is no class. It's time for individual study. A man asked her out, so she left in advance." After saying that, she added, intending to upset him. "A very handsome man!"
Damn. Desmond silently cursed.
...
Aubree was right. Mia was in a cafe near the school with Mila, an attractive man.
He looked graceful with fine facial features. If he didn't need to perform, he would usually wear a pair of frame glasses, appearing steady and trustworthy in every move.
Many girls sitting at the table next to them would steal a glance at him from time to time.
Mia didn't pay much attention to Milan's delicate appearance. She preferred Desmond's prominent appearance. In her eyes, he was like a dazzling sun with warm rays, making her feel like getting close to him.
Milan said with a smile, "I was in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to thank you! I knew it was your first performance at home, so I didn't expect you to perform at my concert. I still find it hard to believe that such a fantastic thing would happen. Many people in the association admired me very much!"
Mia smiled back. "It's just a small favor. Besides, you've helped me before, so I returned the favor."
He knew that she would say so. After all, he was not special to her. Somehow, Milan still felt a little disappointed.
Milan looked at her. "I haven't heard from you for a long time before the concert. What were you busy with?"
Mia replied, "I was busy with the wedding."
Others prepared the wedding in a short time. With enough money, things could be done quickly and easily.
It was Desmond's parents who had been busy the entire time. Although she didn't need to worry about anything, as the bride, she had to cooperate in trying the wedding dress, attending the wedding rehearsal, and so on.
Milan was stunned. "You're married?!"
"Yes." Mia nodded.
Milan came to his senses after a long while, and with a stunned expression, he murmured, "It's so surprising. Since you're still in the university, I didn't expect you to get married so soon..."
Mia smiled.
She seemed to think about it and muttered, "Well, I don't think so. I've always wanted to marry him."
Milan fell silent. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
He thought it was a little late to pursue her, but it turned out that he never had a chance.
Milan forced himself to cheer up and took out a vinyl record from his briefcase. "By the way, this is for you. I happened to see it at an auction in Country F. I know you'll like it."
Mia took it.
It was an album by her favorite violinist. But because the violinist had passed away, it was hard to find his last piece of work in the market.
Mia thanked him in surprise. "Thank you. How much is it? Tell me and I'll transfer the money to you."
Milan wanted to say that there was no need.
It was not a coincidence. He went to Country F on purpose after learning the auction, but the truth was no longer important now.
Milan knew what she meant. In this way, she told him that she didn't want to owe him any favor.
Milan nodded. "Okay."
After finishing the coffee, they came out of the coffee shop.
When she walked down the stairs, Mia slipped and almost fell.
Milan, who was next to her, held her.
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, someone pulled Mia away from him. When he looked up, Mia was already in Desmond's arms.
He held her tight in his arms, wrapping his hand around her waist. His narrowed eyes looked cold as he barked at Milan, "Watch your hands!"
Mia was stunned. "Why are you here?"
Oh, how could she say that to him?!
Desmond's face darkened and the corners of his eyes twitched. "Can't I come here?"
"No." Mia shook her head and took the initiative to say, "Milan, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Desmond. He also attended your concert that day."
Hearing her introduction, Desmond looked slightly relieved.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chin!" Milan responded with a smile and explained, "Don't get me wrong. It was just an accident. Strad slipped, so I helped her up! It seems that I don't need to send her back to school. I'll go first. Call me if there is anything. Bye!"
He knew that it was not suitable for him to stay any longer, so he left considerately after saying goodbye.
Then Mia walked to his outrageous sports car with Desmond.
He frowned as he stared at her hand. "What's in your hand?"
Could it be a love token?
"Milan gave it to me. It's a vinyl record." Mia said, "He bought it for me at the auction. I've transferred the money to him."
There was nothing romantic going on between them at all.
Desmond was no longer on alert.
Mia was calm and poised while Desmond felt guilty and ashamed.
Desmond coughed with embarrassment and said in an aggrieved tone, "Mia, why didn't you answer my call?"
He canceled the company's meetings and ran over on impulse.
Desmond didn't know why he acted so rashly, but he knew that she might have misunderstood him. Since she didn't answer his call, he only wanted to run over and explain everything to her as soon as possible.
He didn't want her to misunderstand him.
