บท 69: Vol. 3: Noah to Haru - Chapter 69

Haru

I had a good hour-long nap, and when I got up, I felt a lot better. With Aki in my arms, I went down the stairs into the living area. It was noisy with Isaac and his friends playing video games and joking around. Mason had returned from his morning outing with his friends, too, and they now occupied the dining table, just drinking beer, eating snacks, and chatting.

At the threshold of the door, Jess came up to me and asked, “You feeling better?”

Aiden must have told her I had a headache.

I nodded. “Yeah. Much better.” I flicked my gaze to the other side of the room where Noah was in the kitchen.

I noted him eyeing me and giving me a smile. He wasn’t glaring intensely like he had done before. His gaze was warm and gentle, and that smile of his, it felt genuine. Instantly, I felt my stomach flutter and my heart skipped a beat.

Shit! What the hell? Why did my heart just skip?
