...
The staff members of Windy Cartoon went out to have a dinner to celebrate.
Though Mia was one of the first batches of authors, she contacted others online. Except for Dan, Windy Cartoon's boss, no one had seen Twilight in person.
This time, she showed up, and everyone was very excited.
Then Dan organized a gathering for staff members of Windy Cartoon.
The clock on the wall showed that it was 11 p.m. Desmond didn't want them to think he was mean to Mia, so he held back his urge to call her. Thus, when the doorbell rang, he rushed towards the entrance.
He opened the door, but Dan was standing at the door.
Mia was carried behind his back, her eyes slightly closed and her cheeks a little scarelet. There was even a large man's coat on her back!
Seeing this scene, Desmond silently clenched his hand.
He knew that they considered each other as siblings, but they were not related by blood.
Desmond couldn't help feeling displeased.
He frowned as he smelled a faint smell of alcohol in the air.
He looked a little gloomy. "Did she drink wine?"
Dan tilted his head and looked at the quiet Mia. He didn't smile, but his eyes sparkled with joy. "It's just a small glass of beer. Don't worry. I know how much she can drink. She fell asleep on the road, and I just couldn't bear to wake her up."
Desmond's face darkened.
He reached out and took Mia from his back.
Mia slept very soundly. When Desmond held her in his arms, she clasped her hands around his neck and pressed her little face against his neck - she seemed to have felt the familiar scent from him.
Dan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Desmond raised her in his arms and said with a delighted smile, "Thank you for sending her back."
"You're welcome." Dan smiled back.
When Desmond nodded and was about to bring her in, Dan stopped him. "Is it convenient for us to have a chat?"
The door of the villa was closed.
Under the dim light, they stood on each side of the door.
After sending Mia back to the bedroom, Desmond helped her put on her pajamas, covered her with a blanket, and walked to Dan.
He handed over Dan's coat in his hand.
Dan took it over and said with a smile, "Windy Cartoon is the first company I founded after graduation. At that time, I saw the potential of the cartoon industry. Mia showed her outstanding talent in music and art since she was little. After knowing my thoughts, she became a comics author to support me and accompanied me to make Windy Cartoon a successful company."
Desmond's expression changed slightly.
Last time he was surprised to see them in Windy Cartoon. He was especially startled when seeing Mia there.
It was not until that day that he knew Dan was the boss of Windy Cartoon.
Desmond narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp. "You like her?"
Dan did not answer directly but asked back, "What do you think?"
Desmond no longer appeared relaxed when their eyes met, and his wicked smile also faded.
Dan said slowly, "We grew up together. She was the little girl living next door and an important person in my life. I suppose Mia has the same feeling toward me. She has been accompanying me to build up Windy Cartoon, and I've accompanied her in each violin competition abroad. I even helped her to choose her major and college."
These were things that Desmond had never participated in, nor had he ever known.
Unconsciously, he clenched his hands, his hand veins bulging. Somehow, he got tensed up.
At this moment, Dan suddenly asked, "Do you want to know why she would marry you?"
Desmond had asked Mia this question.
How did she answer him? Well, she said it was because he was very handsome.
