Chapter 738
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Settling into her seat, Lindsey casually mentioned, âIâm feeling sleepy.
Iâll take a nap.
You two go ahead and talk; donât mind me.
â
Sumner remained silent, and Xiomara responded with a light âOkayâ.
Sumner was driving a sedan, making the space inside rather tight.
Xiomara found herself able to glance over and observe Sumnerâs striking features easily.
As Sumner focused on the road, Xiomara took the chance to look at him more closely.
Sumner had an undeniable charm.
His eyebrows were pronounced, his long eyelashes resting gently on his eyelids, softening his gaze.
His face was well-defined, with strong, attractive features.
His lips, now makeup-free from the show, appeared a bit pale.
At such a close distance, Xiomara could even make out the faintest hint of fuzz on his skin.
She was utterly captivated.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted her, âHave you seen enough?â
Suddenly, Xiomara snapped back to reality and realized Sumner was looking right at her.
Oh no! It was so embarrassing!
Xiomara quickly averted her gaze and stammered out an apology, âIâm really, really sorry.
â
Sumner seemed taken aback by her reaction.
He slightly knitted his brows and asked in a steady tone, âIs everything alright? Do I intimidate you?â
Xiomara shook her head quickly.
âNo.
Not at all.
â
Then, silence enveloped them once more.
Sumner focused on driving, following the GPS.
After her moment of embarrassment, Xiomara tried to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
The only sound was the voice of the navigation.
Xiomara cleared her throat and mustered the courage to start a conversation.
âSumner, your singing today was impressive.
â
âThank you,â Sumner responded, his tone formal and detached, as though he was conversing with a complete stranger.
They didnât know much about each other, did they?
Feeling a twinge of disappointment, Xiomara offered a strained smile and asked, âThe song was about one-sided love.
Sumner, is there someone special in your life?â
A prolonged, awkward silence followed.
Sensing she might have asked something she shouldnât have, Xiomara hastily added, âSorry, I shouldnât pry into your personal life.
If youâd rather not talk about it, we can just drop it.
â
Sumner remained quiet.
