Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Any Time Is Fine (1)

The twilight slanted westward.

The evening glow was ablaze, casting a layer of light on the uneven buildings, granting the usually bustling and noisy Eastern Peak Village a rare, tranquil beauty.

Camilia Davis temporarily hadn’t gone to the hospital.

Mia Ginger busily cleaned up the place.

"Sister Mia." Little Patten called out uneasily, extremely regretful, "Just say something. Even scold me a little, I really... oh, it’s my fault!"

Little Patten raised his hand and slapped himself.

"Please forgive us." Zoey Leaf was following her back and forth, saying as she walked, "I really didn’t think it would be this serious. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have agreed no matter how much money they offered."

"Mia!" She grabbed Mia Ginger’s hand, which was holding a cloth.

Mia Ginger looked at her and laughed, "Is our friendship only worth a hundred thousand dollars?"

"A hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount." Zoey Leaf hung her head in discouragement, and seeing her cold sneer, she wished she could slap herself too.

Mia Ginger walked past her into the room.

"This..." Little Patten sighed weakly, exchanging glances with her, dejectedly saying, "What are we going to do in this situation? Brother Four will kill me when he comes."

"He won’t kill you."

A hand suddenly wrapped around his neck from behind, and Louis Cox mischievously dragged him a step back, playfully saying with flirtatious eyes, "This time you’ve finally been smart once, I like it."

"Cough cough... Bro, you’re strangling me!"

Little Patten was gasping for air, tongue sticking out and eyes rolling back.

"Where is she?"

Louis Cox released him and casually asked, not even waiting for a reply as he strode directly into the house.

Mia Ginger had her back to him, wiping the table.

She seemed oblivious to the commotion outside earlier.

Louis Cox leaned against the doorframe watching her, unable to hide the mischievous joy inside, smiling with his eyes, quite contented.

Mia Ginger crouched down to wipe the table corners.

He lowered his eyes to watch for a while, then turned sideways to close the door, still watching her.

Mia Ginger turned around.

Their eyes met.

One expressionless, the other radiant with smiles.

Mia Ginger pursed her lips and looked at him for a long time, her stern expression finally softening slightly, as she frowned and said, "Never seen someone like you before... a lunatic."

"What’s wrong with smiling?" Louis Cox took off his hat and threw it on the bed, taking two steps to stand in front of her, looking down with a smile, "I’m happy."

"..."

Mia Ginger walked past him to open the door.

Louis Cox grabbed her wrist, "Really not going back?"

Mia Ginger paused, "Not going back."

"Annulled the engagement with that other man?"

"None of your business!" Mia Ginger shook off one of his hands grabbing her.

Louis Cox didn’t let go, rather he tightened his grip, placing her clenched fist directly over his heart, his expression turning serious, eyes burning as he said, "You have no idea how happy this makes me."

"..."

Mia Ginger said nothing, just twisted her wrist trying to break free.

Louis Cox was six feet tall, appearing slender even in clothes,

The two of them remained in a silent stalemate.

After a while—

Louis Cox caressed her tightly clenched hand with his thumb, speaking in a deep voice, "Please don’t ignore my feelings anymore, okay?"

"There’s really no need for you to waste time on me." Mia Ginger turned her head.

"But I just love spending time with you." Louis Cox used his other hand to pinch her chin, forcing her to look at his eyes, smiling leisurely as he said, "No matter how long it takes."
