Capítulo 119: Too beautiful to admit it

Lara tilted her head, confused by her cubs' silence. She was expecting them to react in any way: to jump in her direction or growl a compliment or two.

Yet, nothing.

Her doubts were confirmed when Nate walked into the living room. He was wearing a dark suit with a red tie. His hair was combed back, making him look even more overbearing than usual.

He saw Lara and stared, in silence, for a whole minute.

At each second that passed, the woman's self-confidence crumbled down bit by bit. Why wasn't anyone saying anything?

She could understand Nate would prefer staying in silence to be polite. But the cubs? They knew nothing about politeness!

Was it so bad that no one could lie and say she was pretty?

As Nate gulped, looking at her greedily, he noticed her pale face.

«Are you okay?» he inquired, stepping forward to help her - in case she needed it.
