240 I Lied Because...

Reuben could only blink after hearing what she had to say.

"But, Kitten!" He uttered like a whining child but her narrowed eyes made him halt mid-sentence.

Lina crossed her arms over her chest and waited for him to explain himself while glaring at him.

'That posture tells me that he is not interested in hearing what I have to say.' Reuben surmised after taking a single glance at her rigid body language.

When she received no answer, she scoffed but soon the scoff turned into a sigh.

This time, she raised her hands and cupped his face, and rubbed her thumbs over his soft skin.

Reuben could not help but smile, enjoying this simple yet precious gesture that she had made.

Seeing his smile, Lina also smiled and then looked him in the eyes before speaking up.

"Ruby, do you have any idea what kind of weird thoughts were swirling around in my mind when I realized that you were lying to me?" She questioned and raised her right brow.
