The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 2110

Ethan, determined to prove he wasn't a pushover, went out of his way to explain to Lydia, "Look at me, I just got roughed up by those guys, and did you see me chasing after them? No way. It's because I'm drawn to you that I want to see you all the time."

Before he knew it, he had spilled his guts.

Lydia looked up, meeting Ethan's handsome and bright eyes. He was dead serious as he spoke, even his gaze was intense, clearly showing how much he was trying to convey his feelings.

His earnestness made Lydia's usually calm heart start to race.

Even her blood seemed to warm up.

In that moment, as their eyes locked, the gentle murmur of the nearby creek and the soft whisper of the wind seemed to envelop them.

The warm glow of the lights cast a cozy light on their faces, adding an intimate touch to the atmosphere, with the scent of roses lingering in the air.

Everything about that moment was heart-fluttering.

Even the air was filled with a sense of romance.

Just as the tension peaked, a waiter's voice suddenly broke the spell, "Sir, miss, your dinner is served."

With that, he placed two plates on the table, shattering the intimate atmosphere.

Lydia snapped back to reality, glanced at the waiter to mask her embarrassment, and managed a smile, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Enjoy your meal," the waiter responded, but didn't leave right away, instead looking expectantly at Ethan.

She had rushed the kitchen to serve their meal promptly, hoping to impress Ethan.

Awaiting his praise, she caught Ethan's gaze, only to find a stern look on his face.
