The Islet Mystery 19

Ryan moved closer to Shiela, and he wrapped his arms around her, interlacing his fingers in her abdomen. He buried his face in her shoulder as he listened, finding it hard to conceal his emotion. Shiela no longer had to pretend; Ryan was no longer leaving any room for everyone to question the status of their relationship.

"What's happening with you?" she whispered as she turned and glared at him, earning themselves the attention of everyone.

Ryan fidgetted when he realized they were making a scene, and he apologized. "I'm so sorry. I am so emotionally weak that I get restless every time I hear a touching story."

"And you'll have Shiela's bones broken at the end of this sharing!" Cherry quickly commented with a concealed amusement, feeling thrilled at their display of affection.

Ryan laughed, and Shiela turned red. Seeing her discomfort, he drew her head towards him and pressed a kiss on her temple.
