James just smiled and kissed her neck, then ced his hand over her heart, "You can''t deny that this is beating for me."


    Mirabe turned her head away, ignoring the heartbeat emanating from her chest, "Don''t tter yourself."


    "But I am ttering myself," James whispered against her ear, "and you''re stuck with me for life."


    Mirabe''s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening slightly, as clear and bright as a starry sky. James couldn''t help but get lost in them for a moment.


    The next instant, he cupped her face, dropping kisses more passionately than ever before.


    Nothing was more thrilling than mutual affection.


    Soon after, a car sped towards them from a distance.


    As soon as the car came to a halt, Curtis and Wyatt, who had heard about James''s incident, rushed over.


    "James, are you "


    Wyatt began anxiously but stopped midway upon seeing James holding Ms. Mirabe by the car door, their cheeks almost touching. Then, catching James''s cold gaze, Wyatt swallowed his words, thinking he was doomed.


    It seemed like another miner would be added to the workforce in far-off ska!


    Curtis, more observant, had already turned around, relieved to see James unharmed.


    Regaining hisposure, Wyatt cleared his throat, "If you''re alright, James, we''ll be off then."


    He was about to drag Curtis away when James stopped them.


    Without letting go of Mirabe, James simply said, "Could Wyatt take your friend to the hospital?"


    Mirabe nodded, "That works."


    "Alright." James took the car keys from her and tossed them to Wyatt, "You''ll drive Mirabe''s car. Make sure they get to the hospital safely."


    Wyatt caught the keys, stunned.


    James led Mirabe to his car, and they drove off, leaving Wyatt and Curtis watching.


    Scratching his head, Wyatt turned to Curtis, "What was that all about?"


    Always stoic, Curtis nced at the keys in


    nott''s hand and guessed,


    "Someone from Ms. Mirabe''s car s help." Content belon


    Realizing this, Wyatt hurried to the backseat and indeed found


    someone lying there. We host


    dy, he drove them to the hospital.

    In the car.


    Once Mirabe calmed down, James asked about what had happened today.


    Mirabe, massaging her temples,


    about the cognitive value test.


    Gerything except the


    t belongs to swnwils


    After finishing, Mirabe looked at James, "I''m curious, what makes you so important to them?"


    "Them?" James quickly picked up on Mirabe''s implication.


    Mirabe''s lips curved slightly, but she turned to look out the window, her eyes almost cold.


    She had suspected the people behind Ben when he tested her cognitive abilities.


    Some people, no matter how much they want to avoid it, can''t escape their destiny''s path.


    Mirabe shook her head with a smile, finally not revealing who they were.


    Soon, they arrived back at their apartment building.


    After saying goodbye to James, Mirabe entered her home.


    In the living room, Nick had been waiting for her with matters to discuss.
