Jazz's eyes became hot. He thought it was an ill wind.

He licked Essa's lips with a smile while she was not looking.

Essa felt hot and itchy. His tongue was crawling on her mouth like an insect. A quiver of excitement ran through her, making her tremble.

Essa panicked. Hearing footsteps from outside, she instantly pushed him away.

Essa's cheeks were pink. She ducked her

Essa's face was burning as she heard this. She shook her head, stammering, "No... no...

"Then why do you look so strange?"

"Mom, is Winston awake? What are you doing here?" Essa hurriedly changed the subject.

Unaware of what had happened between Essa and Jazz, Essa's mom answered, "I just came to see if Jazz had eaten."

Glancing at Essa who pretended to be calm, Jazz smiled. "Mrs. Reese, I ate instant noodles."

"What?" Essa's mother scowled. "You’ve just donated blood. You need to eat something nutritious. How could you just eat instant noodles? Essa, he doesn't know that, but you should know. Why didn’t you take good care of him?"
