Her foster parents initially treated her kindly but changed after they were able to conceive a child of their own. She was eventually sent abroad after a traumatic incident threatened the Lee Family's reputation in high society. Yet soon after, the family's business takes a turn for the worse and Miyeon is abandoned completely. Now an adult, she returns to her home country and meets Lu Minzhe (Parker James), seemingly for the first time. The handsome and successful CEO of a conglomerate does not hesitate in using shameless means to chase Miyeon once he realizes that his feelings toward her is love. However, happiness appears to be always a step away as Lu Minzhe also harbors some secrets that are tied to Miyeon's past. Meanwhile Jesse Evans, a strikingly attractive model and old college friend, unexpectedly confesses that he has been in love with Miyeon for the past 7 years. Jesse who came from a privileged background has spent the past few years working hard to be recognized by Miyeon as himself and not as the heir of the Evans Family. As both men vie for her affection, the beautiful yet apathetic Miyeon learns love is a sweet and wonderful thing. Get ready for a love story between an outwardly warm but cold & depressed protagonist and her outwardly cold but doting handsome male lead. Disclaimer: I do not own the cover illustration.

Chapter 96: Like a Man Likes a Woman

"No, Irene, I'd like to ask you out on a date."

"Not as friends. A 'romantic date'. Wait, no that didn't sound quite right. I meant, my intentions are not platonic. Dammit! I'm such a muppet! So what I'm saying is…I like you, Irene. In a romantic way. Like a man likes a woman."

Author's note: Muppet is British slang for foolish/useless. :)

Miyeon looked up, her alluring, dark, peach blossom eyes met a pair of attractive, blue, oval shaped ones. The normally confident gorgeous blonde Brit was now looking red faced, anxious, and fumbling over his words. 'Jesse Evans towards me? Since when?' She wondered, completely forgetting she was still in the middle of a call with Lu Minzhe.

On the other hand, Jesse could feel his heart thumping in his chest. It was so loud, he could hear his heartbeat in his ears. His palms were beginning to get clammy too. He did it. He finally confessed. It was a confession 7 years in the making.
