After Owen finished washing up, he took off his shirt and sat down on the bed.
Ana grabbed a cotton swab dipped it in ointment, and gently dabbed it on his wounds. “Why do you even bother? In the end, you’re the one who gets burt
Owen smiled, “I don’t mind. You only mess with me because you love me.”
“You’re getting more shameless every day.” Aria teased.
“If I weren’t this shameless, I never would’ve managed to win you over.” Owen shot back. That was fair enough.

After finishing with his back, Aria was about to apply ointment to his chest when Owen tensed up. Aria gave him a poke. “Don’t tense up, it’s bad for your recovery.
“We have been together so long. You don’t have to show off your abs. Trust me, they’re there even when you’re not flexing.” She teased.
Owen chuckled softly, his gaze deep as he looked at her. “Madelyn…”
“Hmm?” Aria responded.
“Madelyn.” He called again.
“What is it?” she asked.
He said wistfully, “If only we’d met earlier–started dating at eighteen, and stayed together till we turned a hundred.”
“As if meeting earlier would have made us a couple. We got into a fight the very first time we met. I really wanted to kill you back then,” Aria said.
Owen grabbed her hand and leaned in to kiss her cheek. “I never had any bad intentions toward you back then.
“I was thinking, who is this feisty little girl, hitting so hard? I really want to take her home and set her straight,” he added.
Aria rolled her eyes. “You just made that last part up, didn’t you? I was only fourteen back then. You want to go to jail?” She teased.
“That would still count as puppy love,” Owen said.
“I wouldn’t have fallen for you back then. I would’ve killed you instead.” Aria shot back.
Back then, Aria was way fiercer than she is now. If Owen had brought up puppy love back then, she would’ve stabbed him right then and there.
Owen’s smile grew even wider. “Madelyn, how about we go check out that place during summer break?” That was the place where they first met.
“Let’s see how things go after the Skills Evaluation of State Security Bureau,” Aria replied.
Owen looked puzzled. “Skills Evaluation?”
Aria explained, “Cathy said the State Security Bureau is holding its Skills Evaluation at the end of July. It only happens once every four years. She wanted to form an all–girls team to take first place and asked me to join.”
Owen stared into her eyes. “You never told me about that.”
“She just called yesterday. Telling you now is just as good,” Aria replied.
“But you had plenty of chances to tell me yesterday in the car.” Owen pointed out.
Aria looked down. “Are you blaming me?”

“No” Chen traved closer again. That if you give me a kiss. I’ll let it go.”
“How about a gap instead?” Arta teated
“‘ll take that too,” Owen replied.
She tilted her head back and gave him a loud, smacking kiss. “Drama King Owen, are you satisfied now?”
“I’m satisfied,” Owen replied.
After lunch, Arsa headed to the study first, while Owen pulled out his phone and sent a message to Cathy. (Can outsiders attend the Skills Evaluation?]
Cathy replied, Aria told you about it? Has she already agreed to join?)
Owen, Just answer my question.]
Cathy, [The tournament is super strict, so outsiders definitely can’t take part. But…)
She was worried that if Owen couldn’t get in, he might end up convincing Aria not to join either. So she decided to calm Owen down first. [You can watch from outside with the judges. I’ll try to find a way to sneak you in.]
Even if she couldn’t pull it off, if Aria spoke up, Tessa would definitely say yes.
Owen, [Okay.]
Cathy clicked her tongue. [Seriously, Owen, it’s only been half a month. Are you really that attached to Aria already?]
Owen, [Yeah, I can’t be away from her.]
Cathy was speechless. She put down her phone and cheered, “Yes!” Now that Aria had even told Owen about it, she was probably going to say yes.
Cathy hummed a tune as she went to find Ronald, “Mr. Ludwig, this case is pretty much wrapped up. We’re getting ready to leave.”
