The sound of Sean’s low, melodic voice made Kate blush even more.
She bit her lip nervously and replied, "This is a pastry brand I've been eating since I was young, and it's not from Merchant City, so you wouldn't know it."
With that, she let out an exhale and, out of impulse, wanted to toss the entire box to Sean.
However, as soon as she turned around, she caught sight of his thickly bandaged hands.
Out of instinct, she opened the box once more, tore open another croissant, and then brought it to his mouth. "Seeing that you're a relative of my boss' friend, I'll take care of you for the time being."
Sean chuckled when he caught sight of how uncomfortable she was. "Thank you."
Despite the atmosphere being a little awkward yet laced with amorous disposition, Kate proceeded to unwrap all the croissants and feed them to Sean one at a time.
Even though Sean had accidentally brushed against Kate's fingers the first time around, he made sure to take good care not to touch her again.
This finally made Kate's racing heart calm down, and she began to scrutinize this man as she continued feeding him.
He had a tall and lean figure, and his skin was darkly tanned. His sleeves were rolled up due to his injuries, which exposed his strong, muscular arms that hinted at the figure hidden underneath his shirt.
Not only that, but the tanned face , was handsome in a roguish, boisterous way.
Kate could not help being reminded of that man...
"Kate?" Suddenly, a soft woman's voice rang out from the door.
Kate immediately came to and lifted her head in response.
Luke and Gwen were standing at the door, with Luke's arms wrapped protectively around her waist.
