Chapter 1958
Chapter 1958
It was past eleven o'clock at night upon the end of the movie.
The car was parked in the underground parking lot. Desmond fastened his seatbelt and asked casually when he started the engine, "Did you enjoy the movie?"
Mia nodded. "I liked it very much!"
The performing arts of the actors/actresses were remarkable and admirable. The plot was wonderful and exciting, and the director was very talented and professional.
More importantly, this was the first time for Mia to watch a movie alone with a man, and they were even sitting in a lovers' seat. This was such a meaningful milestone for Mia.
Desmond originally asked Mia this question out of courtesy. However, when he saw her lovely smile and satisfaction, he blurted out, "If you want to see another movie, you can tell me at any moment."
Mia smiled. "Uh-huh."
After Desmond drove the car back to their villa, he parked it in the garage. Then, he found that Mia had fallen asleep inside the car.
Mia's biological clock was very accurate.
Sleep at eleven o'clock at night, and wake up at seven o'clock in the morning...
It was already past eleven o'clock when the movie ended. The beautiful neon lights made the street scenes at night more fascinating. Mia, who was sitting on the passenger seat, was unable to resist her sleepiness.
Seeing that Mia didn't show any signs of waking up, Desmond walked to the car door on the other side, held her up, and carried her into the villa.
He then put her down on their wedding bed.
In the evening of the next day, before the two of them set off to call upon Old Master Borbon's house for dinner, Mia changed into a new red cheongsam, which befitted her very much a new wife.
Desmond couldn't help recall that Mia was also wearing a red dress and, setting off by her black hair and snow-white skin, she looked charming on the bed.
She was also sexy in the eyes of Desmond, as she was a young girl in good shape.
When Desmond was helping her to change into her pajamas, he gradually felt thirsty out of eagerness.
He suddenly realized that he was seriously drunk on the wedding night, and therefore the two of them didn't have a normal wedding night at all.
Desmond had flirted with countless girls in the past, and there were countless women who wanted to become his girlfriend. However, he was serious with only two girls, Abby Amery and Tina Hall. When he was young and relatively ignorant, he used to regard Abby as his dream lover. Later, he fell in love with Tina, and thought that she was the most charming girl in the world.
As for the other girls, Desmond had never become their boyfriend. He just enjoyed flirting with them. For this reason, these girls could only be said to be his "female companions".
And that's all. That was to say, no relationship of lovers existed between Desmond and the girls.
At this moment, Desmond looked at his beautiful wife lying on the bed. His heart was beating fast, and his blood was boiling with passion. He was so deeply attracted by her female fascination.
He just wanted to tear down her red cheongsam...
He stretched out his hand with erotic intention in his mind...
However, when his hand was about to touch the chest of his wife, Desmond halted his movement, as he found incidentally that Mia's sleeping face was lovely and innocent.
Although they were now husband and wife, the emotional foundation for the two of them was not solid enough, after all. Desmond wanted to treat a woman like a lady always, and he didn't want to behave like a villian.
In order to better subdue his eagerness, Desmond turned off the lights when he was changing into his pajamas later on.
Nothing special had happened during that night.
The next day happened to be the weekend. According to social customs, the newlyweds should go back to the wife's home.
The attitude of Desmond's parents was that the social rituals on their side could be ignored, but those on Mia's parents' side must still be fulfilled.
As Mia virtually had no family members now, Desmond's parents suggested that they should go back to her hometown to pay their respects to Daniel Chadwick, Mia's grandfather.
Although it was supposed to be a joyous thing for the newlyweds to return home today, Mia still changed into a suit of clothes in light colors, because the two of them would pay respects to Mia's grandfather's tomb today.
She dragged her suitcase out of the cabinet.
Desmond, who was making a phone call by the window, happened to see that Mia's suitcase contained only a number of clothes, while a larger space was allotted to contain a box.
Desmond looked at the shape of the box in surprise. "Is this a violin case?"
"Yes." Mia nodded.
Desmond asked, "Are you majoring in music?"
"No." Mia shook her head. After thinking for a while, she continued, "Playing the violin is just a hobby for me!"
Desmond nodded and didn't inquire further about it.
There were a great variety of clubs in college. Desmond thought that Mia might have joined a music club, and she played the violin simply for fun.
He hung up the phone. "Pack your things up first. I'll drive the car out."
Mia said, "Uh-huh!"
Half an hour later, the two of them set off.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the countryside.
Once again, Desmond and Mia returned to the farmhouse. This time, without those messy animals in sight, Desmond felt much more pleased.
However, when he thought of the fact that the seven big and white geese were now leisurely staying in his villa, he felt angry and disgraceful.
Desmond and Mia climbed up the mountain and paid their respects to the tomb of Daniel Chadwick, Mia's grandfather.
Desmond noticed that Mia's eyes were filled with tears. He solemnly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
After that, they went back to the farmhouse to rest.
Lyle Maberry, who learned that Mia and her husband had come here, called upon them.
In fact, Lyle had attended their wedding ceremony. However, as Lyle needed to take care of her aunt who fell ill, she stayed at the site of the wedding for only a short period of time.
Lyle and Mia had been neighbors since childhood. They grew up together. Her facial features were pretty and impressive, and she was a little boy-like, which increased her personal charisma indeed.
Lyle's words were very open. She pulled Mia's hand and asked mischievously, "Mia, are you enjoying your honeymoon? Was it painful when you slept with your husband for the first time?"
Mia didn't know how to answer Lyle decently. "..."
Her cheeks turned red.
However, Mia still remembered that when she went home after watching the movie last night, she must have fallen asleep. When she woke up this morning, she was indeed wearing pajamas.
The servants had just arrived today. That was to say, there were only the two of them in the villa last night.
When she thought of the fact that Desmond had taken off her clothes and helped her to change into the pajamas, Mia felt shy, and her heart was beating fast.
For a girl like Mia, things like sleeping with her husband were still sensitive. After hesitating for a long while, she managed to hold back her emotions and replied in a low voice. "We haven't..." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Lyle was stunned.
Mia and her husband had slept with each other? Then how did they manage to go through these two nights with their passions held back? Lyle could understand that on the first night, Desmond was seriously drunk. On the second night, although Mia had fallen asleep, at least Desmond was sober-minded...
Lyle inquired in a seemingly naive way, "Is there something wrong with Desmond? Such as impotence (ED (erectile dysfunction))?"
Mia replied, "By no means! This is nonsense!"
Lyle burst out laughing, "Okay... I was just kidding!"
In fact, Lyle had only met Desmond once at the wedding ceremony.
In Lyle's mind, Desmond behaved like a Manga character, always wearing a naughty smile on his face. Lyle was at one time worried that her friend might have married a silly playboy. But now, she was pleased to find that there was also an aspect of innocence and asceticism in Desmond's characters.
Lyle knew that Mia was shy about the adult topic they were talking about, so she stopped asking more questions about that.
Lyle took out her mobile phone and urged Mia to read a piece of news.
The title of the news was: "Milan Morgan's Piano Concert! It said that the piano concert would be held soon. At that time, an internationally top-level symphony orchestra would be invited to
accompany Milan for the piano performance. In addition, Strad, an eminent violinist, would be invited as a "mysterious guest" performer, and he would be responsible for the finale show..."
This piece of news had been very hot these days.
In addition to Dylan Koo, the Piano Prince who had recently announced that he would temporarily be retired from the music circle, Strad the violinist was perhaps the most outstanding and famous Chinese musician in the international music circle.
At the same time, Strad was a very moderate, low-profile, or even mysterious person.
Even his English name came from "Stradivarius Violins", and many music fans didn't know the age and gender of this Chinese master violinist. The legendary stories of Strad were known by the music circle and music fans, yet this mysterious violinist was seldom seen in person by the general public.
Lyle asked, "Mia, are you going to perform the finale show for him?"
"Uh-huh." Mia nodded.
Lyle curled her lips up and added, "You're the superstar in the international arena. There are so many people in the Violin Association who fervently want to invite you as their guest performer. Don't forget this is your first domestic performance. You agreed to be Milan Morgan's guest performer. Does he deserve it? What's more, I have always had a bad feeling that he has a secret crush on you!"
Mia frowned when she heard that.
She replied in a serious yet tender voice, "But I don't love him. I already have someone I love, and I'm married."
Mia continued, "Milan served as the guest performer for my concert in Vienah last time. One good turn deserves another, right?"
Lyle knew that Mia had her principles for life, so she nodded in agreement.
A reminder on Lyle's mobile phone sounded. It seemed that a certain female movie star had posted a Twitter message.
Lyle commented negatively on that movie star's Twitter message. Mia was amused by what her friend was doing.
She inquired curiously, "Lyle, what do you think you're doing? Why are you criticizing her?"
The female movie star was very unfortunate as she received such bad comments from Lyle.
Lyle asked back, "Don't you know the reason?"
