Peeping Resentment

Three days later, Mia Garcia finally found an opportunity.

That night, not long after Eric Collins returned from the company, he fell asleep in the study.

Looking at the time, Mia saw it was already midnight. She wondered whether Eric had fallen asleep by now.

Regardless of whether he was asleep, Mia still mustered up the courage to walk into Eric's study.

His study wasn't far from her room. Seeing the light still on, Mia's heart leapt, and she gently knocked on the door, hearing footsteps from inside.

Eric opened the door to find Mia's lovely face.

"Why are you here?" Unconsciously, Eric's tone softened a bit.

Blinking her innocent, worried eyes, Mia looked at him, "I saw the lights were still on, so I guessed you might not be asleep. I couldn't resist... couldn't resist... wanting to come see you..."

As she spoke, Mia's eyes began to redden.

Because of recent events, the two of them had hardly exchanged any words.
