Chapter 721

Who’s on your mind? You got a secret sweetheart? You’re not seeing someone behind my back, are you?”

Xiomara waved her hands frantically in denial and said, “No way! I’m just starting out and far from famous.

How could I even think about dating?”

Lindsey couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of the passionate look in Xiomara’s eyes when Xiomara looked at Sumner.

She teased knowingly, “Oh, please.

Since when does being in the entertainment industry mean you can’t date? Wouldn’t that mean all celebrities are single?”

Xiomara’s laughter mingled with Lindsey’s.

After hesitating for a while, she asked, “So, what happened between you and him?”

For a brief moment, Lindsey didn’t realize who she was referring to and asked, “Who are you talking about?”

“Sumner…” Xiomara’s voice trembled slightly as she said, “I’ve sensed something off between you two today.

Was there an argument? Or…”

Lindsey hesitated, realizing Xiomara’s keen perception.

She had thought her feelings were hidden, but Xiomara had noticed.

Seeing the inquisitive expression on Xiomara’s face, Lindsey chuckled.

She gently squeezed Xiomara’s cheek, which, despite her slim figure, remained plump and pleasant to touch.

Lindsey reassured, “Everything’s okay with us.

Don’t overthink it, Xiomara.

”

Lindsey’s playful pinch contorted Xiomara’s face, drawing her mouth into a smile.

She reached out, trying to catch Lindsey’s hand, her words muffled.

“That’s a relief.

No more worries for me then.

Lindsey understood Xiomara’s concerns were elsewhere.

Xiomara’s worries weren’t for Lindsey.

Observing the affectionate concern on Xiomara’s face, Lindsey couldn’t resist a little tease.

“Oh? Looking out for the feelings of a certain someone, are you? Just let me know the date of the wedding, will you?”

Xiomara was quick to blush, her cheeks turning scarlet in a flash.

She stomped her foot and said, “Lindsey! Stop saying that, please.

There’s nothing between Sumner and me.

If you don’t stop… I’ll… I’ll stop talking to you.

”

Watching Xiomara dash off bashfully, Lindsey burst into laughter.

The girl’s fondness for Sumner was written all over her face.

Why would she be embarrassed by others noticing?

Lindsey had been hoping to see a spark between Xiomara and Sumner, but recent events had cast an awkward atmosphere over her interactions with Sumner.

The thought weighed heavily on Lindsey’s heart.

Even if Sumner harbored feelings for her, a relationship was out of the question.

She resolved to find time to gently dissuade him from pursuing her.

In her eyes, Xiomara was the right person for Sumner.

She was confident that with a bit more attention, he’d be drawn to Xiomara’s qualities.

Lindsey never truly believed Sumner’s feelings for her were romantic.

They had always been just friends, hadn’t they?

Perhaps it was their longstanding friendship and the recent talk of an arranged marriage that had stirred confusion in Sumner.

Lindsey was convinced that with a little guidance, she could help him sort out his feelings.

With this plan in mind, Lindsey felt a bit more at ease.

As she was wrapping up her day, Lindsey received a message from Leonel.

It simply said, “If you’re free tonight, care to join me for dinner?”
