In the restaurant, Nevaeh kept her head lowered, absentmindedly stirring the porridge in her bowl.
She couldn't bring herself to lift her eyes.
The scene from earlier kept replaying in her mind, each moment burning brighter until her cheeks turned crimson.
Just thinking about what had happened between her and Cassius made her heart pound with embarrassment.
She was so flustered she couldn't even glance his way.
Cassius, however, acted as though nothing had happened.
Calm and composed, he carried his usual air of elegance, savoring his breakfast with grace.
But when his gaze flickered toward Nevaeh, he paused. Her shy, rabbit-like demeanor, wanting to hide away ...unexpectedly tugged at his chest.
Since when had he found this side of her… adorable?
Their subtle interaction didn't escape Hussein's notice.
