His hand stilled, but he couldn’t bring himself to let go.

As twilight deepened, Bowen’s lips curved into a faint smile, his eyes dark with possessive intensity
Kelvin were here right now, he’d definitely be grumbling about his shameless boss.
Miss Miller is already fast asleep, yet Bowen still refuses to let go of her hand, he wandered. And to think someone once said ke Alvin Yeah, right.
Bowen slowly pulled the car into Aubree’s apartment complex and parked outside her building
Bowen watched as Aubree slept soundly, unable to bring himself to wake her. With no one else around, he dropped all pretenses, his gaze hungrily sweeping over every inch of her face
The longer he gazed at her, the more his heart swelled with delight.
It was obvious to everyone how differently Bowen treated Aubree, yet he stubbornly kept lying to himself.
The emotion in Bowen’s eyes only grow deeper, deep, thick, and impossible to hide.
Under Bowen’s gaze, Aubree frowned in her sleep. Suddenly, she jolted awake. Instinctively, her hand shot out and

Her fingers desperately clutched his white dress shirt, pulling the collar askew to reveal his well–defined collarbone

Aubree took a moment to collect herself, blinking as the face before her slowly came into locus. Only then did the pounding in her chest begin to fade she had just relived her death in that old life once again.
The Wilson family’s crimes against her haunted her every thought their blood debts still unpaid.
“I’m fine,” she said. Her grip gradually loosened as Aubree took a steadying breath, Looking up, she found herself cru though he seemed oblivious to the tenderness in his own eyes.
The warmth of Bowen’s gak.
“Sony,” Aubree blurted out, instantly letting go. Her taceashed a deep crimson–now she was genuinely embarrassed,
Bowen remained completely unfazed. He ved reached out and pulled her hand back. “If you like tugging at my shin, go right ahead” he said, his tone indulgent
Bowen asked peatly. “Did you just have a nightmare?“

Aubree darted away, vanishing in a flash,
Bowen watched her retreating figure and muttered to himself, “I must’ve been crazy back then, treating her just like a kid i
elder,”
After standing downstairs in the chilly night air for a while to clear his head, Bowen made a call to Ole
“Not gonna lie, Bowen, you’ve been blowing up my phone lately, huh?” alle teased. “Alright, spill
time?”
Bowen hesitated for a moment before finally asking, “So how do you go about wooing a girl?”

Ollie nearly jumped out of his skin on the other end of the line. Well, looks like he’s finally seen the light,
“Oh, you’ve definitely come to the right guy. Besides, didn’t I already give you that book? Didn’t it teach you anything?” said Otle
Bowen suddenly remembered that parenting guide Olle had given him–no wonder it had felt so off. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as he snapped, “Seriously, do something useful for once”
“I am doing a good deed right now,” Ollie crowed, his voice dripping with smug satisfaction. He could practically hear Bowen grinding his teeth
“But come at me if you dare, he wondered.
Olle said, “Oh, you’ve definitely come to the right guy for advice on chasing girls. Aubree’s winter braak is coming up. Rithol High always lets out two days before New Year.
“She doesn’t really have any family around, so she’ll probably be spending the holiday alone. Seize this chance–ask her out, go see the snow, and really spend some quality time together.
“She’s pretty guarded, dude. You can’t rush her–just be genuine and take it slow,”
Bowen took silent note of everything
