Twisted Love's

Episode 28's

"I knew I'd find you here." I moved next to Nolan while she leaned against the fence. A gentle breeze, full of the summer fragrance, tossed and flipped my hair.

Below us lay a beautiful night view of Kaleido City, just as beautiful as the last time we saw it.

We stood still, just staring at the scene, until Nolan broke the silence. "I knew you were coming."

"You've been waiting for me, haven't you?" I stared far away at the flashing lights that illuminated the bridge to the airport.

My first move Kaleido was when I walked out of that airport ...

And soon after, I met Nolan and the others at Lilac Court ...

At that time, I never imagined I would fall in love with her.

"I leaked the bribery report. And I have no regrets about it. "

I know it...

"The time is too good, I know it must be you. But your father is your family. Wouldn't people suspect you too? And if the company goes bankrupt, won't it tarnish your reputation as well if they let you go?"

"I will willingly take it off. I doubt they can keep me for more than a month or two. "

That's grisly.

I glanced at him, showing my deepest concern.

"But what's the problem? If they go bankrupt and can't pay me, I don't want to stay. Do you know how much it costs to keep me?"

"In addition, I'm the one who won my case. If they're involved in another scandal, it's got nothing to do with me." Nolan looked at me with an incredible gentle smile.

And here I am even very worried about him ...

"So everything went according to your plan huh? I really can't believe it. You always think so far. And when I ask about something, you're always mad at me. But again ... "

"What?" Ask.

"I like that side of you."

"Julie..." Nolan looked me in the eye.

"There's always some reason you can't tell me. But when it's over, you always tell me everything. And you didn't even use the shelter information you got from me either ..."

He was never honest or direct, but Nolan was kind and caring. No, he's no longer Nolan ...

"Arvin, I love you."

A**I actually did it. I confess my feelings for him.

When I mentioned his special name, I felt his gaze in my eyes as if I needed myself most.

"I've been confused for so long. You know, I almost got you in trouble because of an accident. That's why I promised myself I'd never let that happen again, so I always said nasty things and kept my distance from you."

So that's why he's been behaving so strange lately ...

"But after the party, when I watched you run, I finally realized something. If I don't do something, I'll lose you."

"Juliah... I love you too, and I'll never hurt you again." When he finished saying it, he bowed towards my lips to place a kiss. His arms hugged me, surrounding my body with his warmth.

Aahs... I'm so happy now.

When our lips separated, Nolan's hand caressed my ear.

"I always win. And I'll win your heart too, Julia." He said, full of confidence while his face glowed dimly at night.

From the beginning he has won me, I have been fascinated by him since we met ...

"If you promise me the same thing, I'll never let you go, Arvin." I smiled, but this time, I was looking for a kiss.

I want to always be by his side and see the magic with him forever ...

A few days passed after Nolan and I shared our feelings with each other.

My spirit was so high as the lush summer scenery flared through the car windows.

"Thank you." When I stepped out of the car, I faced the driver and smiled.

"Have fun at work today."

"of course! And you too!" We exchanged a short kiss and then I opened the entrance to the building.

"Good morning..." When I rushed to the habitat of the Kaleido leopard, Timo was already in front of me. It felt like we were already at the final level of this project, my excitement reaching its peak.

"There's not gonna be any song assumptions about that."

"Huh? Don't say ..." Before I could even answer, Timo gave me the news.

"He's pregnant."

"Through?! It finally happened ?! " We have been observing the development of female leopards since renovating the habitat. His weight rose quickly, and based on his behavior and hormone levels...

...This morning, we finally changed her pregnancy status from 'Possibility' to 'Definite'.

As we reported our findings to everyone, applause and cheers of joy swept through the entire building. Everyone involved started planning our big announcement to the public and the media. Even the members who were not on the Kaleido leopard team were very excited.

"After they regain their appetite, their behavior makes a significant change. We couldn't have done it without your idea of changing their habitat, Darwin."

Did Timo just praise me for our success?

"In time, the other tigers will also grow and their numbers will no doubt increase to a sustainable number. Although pregnancy is important, isn't the result of your habitat reform even more impactful?"

"That's possible. Our findings may be of benefit not only to the Kaleido leopard, but to all the endangered species out there."

And that in itself is amazing news!

"We'll be making your findings public soon, so hurry up and gather what data you have."

"What's!? Me!?"

"That's your idea from the beginning, so do it to the end." Timo crossed his arms behind him, with his head held high he walked proudly towards the exit.

"Wait on! Why so fast?!"

"Look..." Timo turned his upper body towards me and pondered. "We're definitely going to celebrate tonight, so prepare tomorrow."

"Oh, jeez..."

"Hmm?"

"I have a date tonight, so you should celebrate without me ...".

"Truly a troublesome woman ..." Timo sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

"I'm sure it's a date with that lawyer right now with no junior's name behind it."

"Why do you know!?"

I've never talked to Timo about Nolan, have I?!

"When you come to work in the morning in that fancy car, people start to get suspicious."

"Ah.. it turns out so..."

Not to mention that Nolan sometimes picks me up after work as well ...

"Is he bored after that trial so he can be so friendly in the morning?"

Gosh darn. He must have seen us this morning too ...

"Just he was out this morning."

"I'm not the only one who knows. Everyone at the institute already knows it by now."

"Really!?" I exclaimed so loudly that it echoed in the hall.

Hearing my explosion, leopard mother Kaleido glanced at me and let out a lethargic roar.

"Let the leopard mate and play, not you. I want you to stay focused on your work." Timo said and went straight to the lab.

Sometimes I also know my mind wanders to Nolan, but I still do my job!

When I found out Timo couldn't see me anymore, I shrugged behind his back. Poking his tongue at him.
