The Billionaire's Marriage Offer

The Darling Black Currant

He would have called back, but the knock on the door became harder. Jim frowned. Then sending a quick, "What happened?" to Park, he opened the door. And the scene before him almost made him jump in shock.

It was Miya who stood there, alright, but she had such a satanic expression on her face, Jimmy couldn't help but be a little scared.

What had he done now?

Miya looked at him up and down, then angrily tried to stomp into the room. The doorway was small, so Jimmy quickly turned sideways to let her in. He was just trying to directly avoid her wrath, so he looked away, but then for a second, her body was completely pressed into his. He froze.

She had crossed into the room, but Jim still stood against the door, stuck to it like a lizard. He would have cried. He really didn't know what was wrong with his crotch.

Why?

Why?

Why was it doing this to him?!

He felt like hitting his head, the feeling was so strong. He didn't even know. Why was he attracted to this woman?! This time it wasn't the eyes, or the voice. It was the bloody body! And a body that wasn't even visible to the naked eye. The woman wore such baggy clothes.

He was sick! All that bride-chasing for a month had finally taken its toll on him. He had at last gone mad! Jim would have whined further in his head, but then a rather cold voice called out to him, "Move aside. You're blocking the way."

He looked at his side, towards the entrance again, only to see Miya's kid standing there.

Oh. So he had woken up.

Jim saw that even though he was still jammed against the door, there was more than enough space for the midget to get in. He didn't move.

The boy glared at him crossly, but said nothing. He entered the room with a slight stomp, that made him look like an elephant. Jim smirked.

Meanwhile, Miya had dumped the four paper bags in her hand onto the bed, and had turned around sharply. She looked at Jim gormlessly sticking to the door, then finally lost her patience. "What the hell is wrong with you?" she spat.

Jimmy was taken by surprise.

There were a lot of things wrong with him. What in particular she was talking about, he did not know. Moreover, she had used the expression, "What the hell", before her kid. What was she, an idiot?

He lifted his eyebrows, and motioned towards the kid, trying to tell her not to use such words before a child. Miya didn't understand.

"What?" she asled rather rudely, and Jim let out an exasperated sigh. He quickly walked towards her, making sure he wasn't too close, and then said in a low voice, "Don't say what the hell in front of him. That's bad parenting."

Miya looked at him with wide eyes, clearly surprised. She had not expected Jimmy Hunter to point that out. Or look at her that concernedly. All anger suddenly left her eyes, and she had the urge to smile.

Jim frowned at this, then raised his brows in question. He was relieved that she wasn't looking like a demon anymore, but why did she suddenly seem happy?

Wait a second.

Could she be bipolar? Ah! Maybe that was why Park had told him to get away from the place. As a thousand questions crossed Jim's mind, Miya was positively beaming.

"You're annoying, you know," she said, "but kind of cute too." She then shrugged nonchalantly, and motioned Ben to follow her into the kitchen.

Jimmy's heart pounded.
