Rekindling Her Affection (Sabrina and Nelson) novel Chapter 14

The cold edge in Nelson's tone contrasted with his warm breath that tickled Sabrina's neck. She shuddered.

He fumbled awkwardly with her hair, clearly unused to the task. She was distracted by the heat from his chest, nearly pressing against her back.

With a sigh, she removed her gloves, sticky with glutinous rice. "I'll do it myself."

He glanced away from her flushed neck. "Why? Are you not used to being treated nicely?"

She stared at him in the eye. "Not really. Just don't cross your boundary next time."

She had given up on him. Hence, she'd never flirt with him or cross a line.

Frustration welled up in him. He fell silent but couldn't look away from her.

She even remarked to Gerald that the batch of tangerine wine produced at this time would taste best by the next New Year.

Justin noticed Nelson looking distracted when Nelson got back to the hall. However, he did not pity his friend at all. "Cool. Are you going to watch Gerald and your wife get cozy?"

"They're making tangerine wine."

"Ooh! I'll tell Sabrina to keep two bottles of wine for me. One is simply not enough!" Hearing that, Ronaldo immediately ran to the kitchen.

Justin yelled at him from behind, "Two boxes of tangerine candies for me!"

Nelson sipped on his wine bitterly. He had thought Sabrina was making tangerine cake, but it turned out she was making alcoholic tangerine candies.

In the past, she'd always place some homemade food in his luggage when he came home for New Year, but he'd never bring them abroad or taste them.

Little did he know that the homemade food he dismissed was in high demand.
