Throwing the sunglasses into her bag, Evelyn Winter glanced at Pedro Langley with a smile, and asked Nora Scott, "Is he your boyfriend?"
"Yeah."
Nora Scott responded without any hesitation.
Calmly and effortlessly, she acknowledged Pedro Langley's status as her "boyfriend" in an easygoing manner.
However, Pedro Langley, standing silently on one side, was stunned for a solid three seconds by her simple "yeah".
Unexpected.
Caught off guard.
Then, his previously steady heartbeat started to race irregularly. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he instinctively squeezed Nora Scott's hand, lightly grazing her palm with his fingers.
Nora Scott tried to dodge, but he held her tightly, leaving her no chance to escape.
Turning her head slightly, Nora Scott cast a sideways glance at him with the corner of her eye, catching sight of Pedro Langley's delighted expression. The usually steady-as-a-rock man was openly displaying his little joys and excitement without hiding anything.
