As he gently held her in his arms, Ivy Aretha's head rested against his broad chest, right on his heart. The strong and steady heartbeat filled her ears, giving her an unprecedented sense of security!
It felt as if she had been drifting for so long, and she had finally found a safe harbor to shield her from the wind and rain!
With a smile slowly spreading across her face, Ivy softly closed her eyes. Thinking about what happened during the day, she couldn't help but ask, "You said earlier that you almost fell out with Jaysen Smith because of your blind date with Madeline. Does that mean Jaysen likes Madeline?"
As she spoke, Ivy shifted slightly in his arms, prompting him to respond.
After not hearing a reply for a while, Ivy suddenly opened her eyes, only to be met with a pair of passionate, love-filled red eyes. Michael Gordon's gaze held both desire and restraint, his suppressed emotions clearly visible.
