Noticing his intimate gestures, Nidia stared at him.
His long fingers parted hers, slowly intertwining them together, as if he was testing the waters.
Their eyes met. Nidia saw that Jackson's gaze was filled with burning passion as he touched her soft, tender hands.
She wanted to pull her hand out of his grasp, but failed. Being touched like this made her extremely shy and embarrassed.
In the end, Jackson held her hand tight; wrapping his warm, rough palms around her cold, tiny ones.
Sophia, who was on the first floor, was still paying attention at the stairway.
The scene was exactly what she had seen... As Eloise was sitting opposite Sophia, Eloise was able to notice the change in her daughter's expression. This time, she turned to look at the stairway as well.
They were a far distance away, but she still managed to see Jackson holding his child and the woman's hand as they walked out the door together.
