Adrian was holding my hand, and my palm was covered in sweat.

He seemed not to notice, gripping even tighter, His steady steps guiding me into the restaurant. Only when we finally sat down did he slowly release my hand, but by then my

cheeks were already flushed and I didn’t dare look at him.

The atmosphere fell into subtle silence for a while, until Adrian broke the awkwardness

first.

“Did you always know that you sweat when you hold hands?” He chuckled quietly, his tone

teasing.

I red at him and didn’t respond, just grabbed my water ss to hide my panic.

When ordering, the waiter rmended their signature set – Italian steak and s

od

bisque. Before I could refuse, Adrian said first: “Rece anything with seafood. One of us is allergic to seafood.”

The waiter apologized repeatedly. Adrian looked at the menu and ordered some dishes, all

vors I liked.

The food was quickly served. I was eating quietly but kept feeling a gaze watching me

steadily.

Under the dim lighting, Adrian’s eyes fell on me, deep and focused.

“It’s been a long time since we met. Does this count as a date?”

I paused, wanting to deny it, but feeling it was indeed the case, so I quietly hummed in

agreement.

He smiled, seeming very satisfied with this answer.

“You’re more nervous than I imagined,” he said quietly.

He looked at me, methodically cutting his steak “Nervous? I’m more like finally having the chance to truly treat you well.”

My heart skipped a heavy beat.

Halfway through the meal, he suddenly brought up yesterday’s incident: “Ferris is living at your house now. Why didn’t you tell me?”

I was startled, and before I could react, he seemed to realize he was overstepping and added: “Of course, you don’t need to report to me. I’m just… worried about you.”

I looked down, stirring the bisque with my spoon, and told him about that whole sordid “fake affair n.”

“To get divorced, I deliberately used ‘cheating‘ to provoke Ferris… Although I didn’t name

names, he was convinced that person was you.”

Adrian was stunned, then chuckled softly.

“That’s perfect.” He looked at me, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence, “Today, I’ll dly y the role of ‘love rival.“”

His words made me blushpletely. Having eaten enough, I got up with an excuse to escape: “I’ll go wash my hands.”

When I returned, he had already paid the bill and was standing gently by the door waiting

for me.

Sunlight streamed through the ss onto him, looking exactly like the boy I had a crush on

in

my youth clean and heart–fluttering.

“Where do you want to go?” he asked.

I thought for a moment and suddenly said: “How about Dave & Buster’s? I haven’t been in a long time.”

He raised an eyebrow and smiled: “Sure, whatever you want.”

The ce was brilliantly lit, filled with young couples and children all around, the atmosphere as lively as an ongoing festival.

I pointed to an ongoing activity: “Look, that cat plushie is so cute.”

Adrian followed my gaze to a couple’s cooperative game, with the prize being that fluffy

plush cat.

He leaned over, lowering his voice: “You want it?”

“It’s not that I…” My ears heated up as I stubbornly said, “I just think it looks nice.”

“Then let’s win it.” He was already rolling up his sleeves, “What do we y?”

I was startled by his sudden enthusiasm.

“Are you sure? That game requires couples to dance together cooperatively. Yopatibility.”

“We’re notpatible?” He nced at me, asking back with a smile.

I was suddenly speechless.

So we stood on the game tform, dancing to the rhythm. We were clumsy at first, but gradually became more coordinated, even moving as if we shared the same mind.

He would reach out to support my waist from time to time, helping me maintain bnce. His actions made me flustered, and I ended up missing a step and falling directly into his

arms.

Heughed and held me, whispering in my ear: ‘Even if we lose, I’ve already gotten my

\prize.”

I wanted to scold him, but just as I opened my lips, I was pinned by his gaze, my heart almost exploding.

We were lucky enough to clear the game in the end.

When the staff brought over the cat plushie and handed it to me, I nced at Adrian.

His eyes were gentle: “If you like it, take it home In the future, you can also take me… home

with you.”

Holding the doll, my face turned red as if it would drip blood.

Behind us was shing music and noisy voices, but I could only hear my own heartbeat and his warm words:

“I want to seriously pursue you. Is that not okay?”

After leaving the arcade, I refused Adrian’s offer to drive me home.

“I drove here too. If you take me home, my car will be stuck here. It’s inconven

I avoided Adrian’s gaze somewhat.

“Alright, when will you be free? We cane see Linus together.”

“I’m not sure yet. I promised Cynthia a few days ago that I’d visit her.” I made an excuse to

refuse.

Adrian knew I wasn’t ready yet and wasn’t in a hurry.

“Contact me when you have time.”

“Mm–hmm.” I nodded repeatedly.

After I left, Adrian opened his phone, looking at today’s photos, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifting.

Suddenly, he received a call from an unknown number.

“Alpha Adrian, I’m Alpha Ferris’s beta. I’m warning you to stop seducing our Luna. She’s not divorced yet and has a mate.”

Simon happened to be working nearby today and had just seen me with Adrian.

Hearing this, Adrian smiled disdainfully.

“Is that so? Then please tell Alpha Ferris that I’m the type of person who likes other people’s

things.”

“Not just women, but also your Vargan family’s projects! What you swallowed of mine before, you’d better spit it all out now.”
