Jinhai silently stared at Nana waiting for her answer.
"I was thirsty and the jar was empty. The twins are sleeping and I didn't want to disturb them so…"
He said nothing. He didn't let her go either.
Nana's heart was thudding loudly in her chest.
No no no! He is not affecting me. He is not affecting me at all. She chanted like a mantra.
She raised her head to look at him and her sight went to his lips. She immediately was reminded of their kiss on that stormy night. His thin, cold lips on hers…
She flushed and nervously looked here and there.
Jinhai raised his eyebrows.
"Um…thank you. Y-you can let me go now."
"And how do you plan on going back with your hurt ankle? Bumping and falling again?"
Her mouth twitched. I did come all the way here by myself!
"I will manage- Ah!"
Jinhai suddenly bent down and carried her in his arms princess style. Nana immediately clung onto his neck for support.
"Mr. Liu Jinhai! Put me down!"
"Don't move. You will hurt your ankle."
