Chapter 7

Jason and Mia planned to go for a walk in the park. Not long after entering the park, Jason sprained his ankle.

Mia helped the limping Jason sit down on a park bench, went to the kiosk to buy a few cold drinks, and carefully used a handkerchief to wrap them and place them on his foot to cold compress it.

"Mia, I'm sorry for ruining your mood."

"It's nothing, we can come out again next time."

"Mia, you're so good. I really don't understand why that Lucas Wilson doesn't know how to cherish you. He's an orphan, yet he dares to argue with you. He's really getting ahead of himself."

"It's getting late, let's go."

Hearing his words, Mia looked a bit displeased and stood up, urging to go home.

"I'm sorry, Mia. I shouldn't have said that about him. I just can't stand seeing him neglect you like this."

"I'm a bit tired too, let's go back early." Mia said perfunctorily.

"We haven't eaten yet."

"I have some work to deal with this afternoon. You can go eat by yourself." Mia picked up her bag and was about to leave.

"Mia, wait for me." Jason panicked and hurriedly tried to follow her, but due to his injured foot, he could only hop step by step.

"Mia, just have a meal with me, please. Look at me, I can't even climb stairs easily. Just help me out, okay?"

Mia ultimately couldn't refuse Jason. She agreed.

Jason revealed a triumphant smile. This tactic of advancing by retreating was indeed clever, especially effective on Mia, who had feelings for him.
