Chapter 234


    “Yeah, it looks better now, doesn’t it?” Eric’s voice echoed in my ear and made me jump. When did he


    notice it?


    So, I turned my head and my lips instantly touched his cheek.


    The sudden intimacy sent a tingling sensation through my body, almost as if I’d been jolted by


    electricity. Feeling numb and tingly, I awkwardly dodged away from him, but his hand moved faster to


    grab my face. I couldn’t move my gaze anywhere as I was forced to look into his deep eyes.


    Eric was born with a charming look; his eyes were like deep puddles of water that could never rise

    With a casual apology, he exined his now inappropriate movement. But then why were there pieces


    of paper on my face in the first ce? Anyway, this wasn’t the time to dwell on it. So, I stammered, “W-
