“Careful.” When Liam saw Blake was about to fall, he reached out from his pocket and caught heraround the waist. The passerby who accidentally bumped into her quickly apologized.
After steadying Blake, Liam noticed the flashing green light. Subconsciously, he grabbed her hand.Blake was momentarily stunned. She looked at the hand holding hers and quickly withdrew it as theyreached the other side of the street. 1
“Thank you! I didn’t expect to be so engrossed in talking to you again that I forgot to watch the road. I’llbe
more careful next time.”
Liam put his hand back in his pocket and said calmly, “It’s okay. Your hands are a bit cold.”
Blake exclaimed, “Ah, that’s just me. I’m always cold, especially when winter hits. My hands and feetare freezing, but it’s okay. I’ve gotten used to it.”
Liam remained silent. After walking for a while, Blake suddenly remembered, “Isn’t your placesupposed
to be the other way around from where we’re walking?”
Liam’s eyes flashed, and he replied, “I’ve already moved to a new place.”novelbin
Blake asked, “Where did you move to?”
“You’ll know soon,” said Liam.
In a black sedan, Audrey reminded Kevin when she noticed he was distracted, “Mr. Harrison, theauction
is about to start.” Only then did Kevin shift his gaze back, step on the gas, and drive away.
In the periphery of Blake’s line of sight, she always felt a gaze fixed on her. When she looked over, she
caught Audrey’s calm and indifferent gaze flick away from her. The car then drove past her. Seeing the
familiar license plate number, Blake felt nothing else besides a slight discomfort deep down.
‘No wonder Kevin isn’t into me. It turns out he’s got someone else in his heart-the mayor’s daughter.
She’s graceful, poised, and beautiful, with a gentle and elegant way of speaking. Any man would fall for
such a person. I’ve been deluding myself all this time.
‘Forget it, I’ve already given up. Now, I’m just playing along for Madelyn’s sake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t
bother sticking around and wasting time with him at the compány.’
She turned to Liam and said, “Liam, about the blind date… If our parents ask, could you say things areprogressing smoothly? Just consider it as friends helping each other out. It’s okay if you disagree withit. I just don’t want my parents to nag me. Otherwise, they might try setting me up with someone else ifthey get too eager,”
When Blake looked back, Liam had his head drooped, looking lazy. When he lifted his head, his eyesseemed misty. “Okay.”
Blake asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with you? Are you having a headache again?”
Liam squinted and nodded, “Sort of.”
Blake hurriedly approached to support him. “We’re almost at my apartment complex. I’ll call a cab foryou. Hurry back home and rest. The pharmacies are closed now. Do you still have medicine at home?”
Under a streetlight, the white light illuminated them as he suddenly hugged her. Liam’s soft and shorthair hung over his forehead, and Blake’s eyes widened instantly, taking a moment to register what was
happening.
“Just hold on to me for a while,” said Liam.
In that fleeting moment, a gust of cold wind tousled Blake’s long hair and stirred something within her
heart.
Ten minutes later, they arrived on the same floor. Blake asked, “Liam, when did you move across from
me? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Surprise.”
Blake said, “It’s indeed surprising, but let’s go back now. You should take your medicine.”
