Kapitel 314: Mom.

"What are you thinking about?" Brian asked Rachel who was lost in her thoughts. Rachel snapped out of her daze and focused her gaze on him.

"It's nothing," Rachel said as she continued to eat her dinner. Brian put down his fork and leaned back in his chair and looked at her. He had tried not to be too intrusive so he wouldn't scare her away, but it didn't look like what she was thinking about was related to anything traumatic that happened in her past.

Rachel looked up from her plate and ended up making eye-contact with Brian, which she avoided after a few seconds. She felt like he was staring right into her heart, especially with the calm expression on his face and his black eyes that just looked like a bottomless lake.

"Rachel," Brian said, and the hand that was toying with her food paused. She nervously bit her lip before looking at Brian in the eyes. However, she did not have the mental fortitude to hold his gaze, so she ended up looking at his chin.
