“I’m sorry,” Harmony apologized instinctively for the displeasing incident with Reuben just
now.
Putting his water down, Ezekiel approached her and placed both hands on her shoulders
while comforting her with his deep voice, “Harmony, you didn’t do anything wrong, so you
don’t need to apologize to anyone. Just be yourself and ignore what others say.”
Those words of comfort were just what Harmony needed at this moment. Tears suddenly
filled her eyes as she threw herself into Ezekiel’s arms. Right now, she just wanted to cry
out loud. She was grateful to have met him and regretted not seeing Reuben’s true nature
back then. He was a bad person.
Ezekiel was like a comforting flame. He gently patted her and gave her warmth and
strength.
After crying for a while, she understood that she had done nothing wrong and she didn’t
need to care about Reuben’s hurtful words. She just had to be herself. However, her fear
was that Ezekiel might have believed in Reuben’s lies and that she would lose him.

day we got together. I-” Harmony found it difficult to continue because it was difficult for
her to bring up such matters with the man she liked.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel also knew she was not good at explaining such things, so he cupped
her face gently and wiped away her tears with his thumb. “I trust you’
He had already learned about all this since he accidentally answered Reuben’s call the
other day. Ezekiel was brought up in an open-minded family, so when choosing a woman
to be with, he wouldn’t care about her past. Instead, he would imagine what their future
would be like.
Upon hearing that he trusted her, Harmony was so elated that she started shedding tears
again. She tightly pressed her lips together, feeling grateful like never before because no
one had ever shown her such unconditional trust.
“Stop crying, or your eyes will swell.” Ezekiel grabbed some tissues from the table and
gently wiped away her tears. Her eyes looked beautiful whenever she smiled. He wanted
to see her happy, not sad.
She pursed her lips and smiled. However, the smile in her teary eyes made her look quite
pitiful.
Suddenly feeling his heart fluttering, Ezekiel couldn’t hold back from leaning down to kiss
her red, soft lips.
That instantly stunned Harmony. Their last kiss was at the hotel, where she had
summoned all her courage to kiss him. Unexpectedly, he initiated the kiss this time,
rendering her shy and at a loss for how to react.
After kissing her, Ezekiel tenderly gazed at her. “Can I stay the night?”
They said men craved a woman, but who said that women didn’t crave men? At least,
Harmony did.
“If I say yes, would you think I’m unreserved for allowing a man to stay the night?” She
raised her head and asked him in a foolish but adorable way.
Ezekiel chuckled. “No, because I’m the man who is going to stay here tonight.”

Laughing, Harmony threw herself into his arms. Right then, the negative emotions Reuben
brought up in her had disappeared entirely. That was because the man before her had a
healing presence. It was like he could soothe her sufferings and teach her to become
someone with a stable temper.
At that moment, Ezekiel’s phone rang. He picked it up and walked toward the balcony.
“Hello, Miles.”
“My dear Mr. Weiss, where are you now? Why was your car impounded by the traffic
police? Are you okay? How am I going to explain things to your parents if something
happens to you?” Miles’ anxious voice came through the phone.
“I’m fine. I’m not going back to the hotel tonight.”
“Wow. Where will you be staying tonight?” Miles asked from the other end.
It was fortunate that Ezekiel was in a good mood. On usual days, Miles would be
reprimanded if he dared to inquire about Ezekiel’s private life, but today, Ezekiel
responded, “Anyway, don’t disturb me tonight, no matter what it is.”
“Even if the company goes bankrupt?”
“Then, let it be,” Ezekiel answered and hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Miles understood that he was not to disturb Ezekiel, even if
the world was about to explode.
