Alice looked at Jack suspiciously, without speaking.
She was curious to know why Jack knew about Nathan’s fondness for Yanis.
Soon Jack told her the truth.
-It was Dad who told me.
Jack betrayed his father again.
-Dad?
-Yes, so… is it true?
Alice didn’t expect Kennedy to say this muttering to her son.
-No. Don’t take it seriously. And you’d better not mention it to Zain, Yanis or Nathan so they don’t get embarrassed, okay?
-I know, Mom,” Jack nodded.
But he pretended not to.
The two went back to their room with different intentions.
***
Yanis’ fever had gone down, she was just a little dizzy and thought it was because of the hangover.
So she started to cook.
She was washing the rice when Nathan came in, his hands like snow in the cool water.
-What are you doing? You haven’t recovered,” Nathan said with a frown.
Yanis looked up, startled.
-Nathan?
-What are you doing here? What are you talking about? I’m not sick,” Yanis was puzzled.
-Or are you cursing me? Well, thank you for inviting me to dinner yesterday, but please don’t talk nonsense,” Yanis was getting angry.
Thinking that she still had a fever, Nathan approached her and put his palm on her white forehead.
Almost instantly.
Yanis could not even react, thinking that Nathan was going to hit her.
However, she somehow froze in place, not dodging.
It took Yanis a few seconds to look up, “What are you doing?
Nathan did not take his hand away to feel her temperature.
He had come back from outside and had not had breakfast, so his hands were cold and Yanis, feeling a little cold, stepped back and said, -Are you doing this to warm your hands?
Before she could say anything else, Nathan grabbed her shoulders with his hands and leaned down to press his forehead against hers.
Yanis froze, holding the bowl of rice in her hands.
The two of them were so close that Yanis could even make out the hairs on Nathan’s face.
She had thought Nathan liked her, but Nathan had denied it. Anyway, he was not the one Yanis liked, so she didn’t care.
But why did she suddenly approach him?
Shy and nervous, Yanis’ lips trembled and he said, “What do you want?
Nathan made sure that the temperature of Yanis’ forehead was similar to his own before he calmed down.
And then he realized it was not appropriate when he found her looking at him with wide eyes.
Yanis’ question made Nathan’s ears redden and he immediately stepped back.
-I’m sorry, forgive me.
-So?
-I thought you still had a fever.
-Is that so? And you have to be so close to me?
Yanis was relaxing a little, too embarrassed to think about it anymore.
-I’m sorry,” Nathan turned red. -I was just worried you still had a fever, but you backed off, I didn’t want to bother you.
-Bah, you could have asked me.
Seeing Nathan’s unbearable embarrassment, Yanis smiled and approached him.
-It’s the first time I’ve seen such a shy boy, what were you thinking?
Nathan could hardly speak.
-Well, I understand!
Nathan was anxious to explain himself, for fear that Yanis would think badly of him.
It took a while before Nathan said, “I am not a frivolous man.
Yanis shrugged his shoulders indifferently, “I see.
Nathan suddenly remembered how Yanis had cried for another man yesterday and felt especially frustrated.
Was it too late?
