âWhy are you talking like itâs your first day meeting me? Donât you know that Arnold and women are never reasonable ?â Arnold's
eyes
shimmered with a seductive charm as he scoffed lightly.
âWell, thereâs no need to make distinctions. As far as Iâm concerned,

âAm | not cute now?â Arnoldâs eyes widened in disbelief.

Asher watched as Arnold grew more agitated with each word, so lively and spirited. He was practically a male version of his little
sister.
Unable to hold back, a glint of amusement glinted in Asherâs eyes. âI

I've always believed that your medical skills are no less impressive
than Bellaâs. You both simply excel in different areas.â
D-Did Asher just praise him?!
This man, usually as aloof and restrained as a monk, hardly sparing
him a few words, was actually praising him today?!
Arnold blushed and bit his lip.
âIn any case, | owe you one for this. I'll make sure to repay you

âHow do you plan to repay me? With your body?â Arnold raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

In the boundless sky, the plane soared through the clouds.
Lost in reverie, Asherâs hand, with visible veins, instinctively wrapped
around Arnold's waist as he peered out the window.
Amidst the white clouds, he envisioned a magnificent fireworks
