Then he noticed the interesting reaction Natalie had and seeing how Sophie seemed to become somewhat defensive from the subtle shift in her expression, he suppressed a grin.
Leaning over to Natalie, he teasingly whispered in a loud enough voice for Sophie to hear too.
"What's up with your expression? Are you perhaps feeling jealous?"
"W-What?!" Like a startled cat, Natalie's head jerked and she cried out in almost too loud a voice, receiving some curious and weird looks from the nearby people who were already paying them attention after seeing Max.
Feeling everyone's gazes, Natalie blushed and glared at Max with an aggrieved look in her moist eyes.
Seeing her looking at him this way, he felt the urge to cup her face in his hands and kiss her. But since he wasn't into showing others his intimate moments to other people, he resisted it.
