บท 66: Dining with beauty

After the signing was done, both Sia and Kevin went their separate ways. Kevin closed the store to prepare for his dinner with Samira. It was already 6 in the evening, and the dinner was scheduled for 8, so upon reaching home, he began getting ready.

His mother maintained her distance and didn't engage in much conversation with him, likely because the things she did to him. Kevin also didn't make an effort to engage, as it would be awkward if he mentioned that he was aware of what she had done to him the previous night. However, he couldn't help but notice a hint of sadness in her eyes as she went about her household chores, her face veiled as usual.

"Mom, you don't need to cook for me tonight. I'm going to eat out," Kevin informed her as he headed towards the door.

"Alright, just make sure you're not too late," Maria's voice carried from within the house.

"Sure thing," Kevin replied before stepping out.
