章 36: Unstable Heart

I scratched my cheeks and avoided his eyes. His stare continues to grow intense, and I, in the end, gave in. I can't win against him. It's not fair.

"A man?" He furiously held onto my shoulder. I shook my head and gently removed his hands off. 

"It's a lady I met during the social debut," I answered.

"Ah…I see," Kaeden shyly responded, and his ears grew red. "But why did you try hiding about it?" He asked while I felt cold sweat forming on my forehead. 

"I didn't want to hide it. Just wanted to surprise you?" I answered in an unsure tone. 

"Then it must be a huge surprise for me," He smirked, then touched his chin. "Though I don't remember what kind of an occasion is there to celebrate."

"You'll see soon," I gave him a smile, and he ruffled my hair.
