Lydia didn't know how she should react to her lover's misbehavior. She used to find it very easy to dispel Nick's playful advance and pinched the boy's cheek without hesitation.
Even though she had feelings for Nick, Lydia couldn't help looking at the boy like a child because of his child-like nature.
But now… Lydia couldn't look at Nick as the same nor pinch the boy's cheek. For some reason, the young man's entire presence from head to toe gave the impression that the young man was several years above her.
This made Lydia unable to control her heartbeat, and she was unable to look her lover in the eye.
There was so much change in the vibe emanating from that boy. Nick seemed more mature, and Lydia felt safer with him. But why hasn't his shameless flirting changed?
Nick chuckled in amusement, knowing Lydia didn't flinch from his teasing, and pulled her tiny body closer and into his arms.
