Bowen was caught completely off guard by the less. His muscles tensed up, and he sat there, frozen in place.

The lingering sensation on the corner of his lips clearly told him what had just happened. His mind went completely blank, but his body reacted with undeniable instinct

He was like a lovestruck teenager, his heart pounding wildly.

Bowen’s throat went dry, his Adam’s apple bobbing nervously. Still holding Aubree, he carefully freed one hand and tentatively brushed her cheek

Her cheeks were flushed and hot to the touch from the alcohol.

His fingertips trembled as he swiftly withdrew his hand. Bowen’s eyes grew profound and unfathomable, their depths swirling with a storm of unnamed

emotions.

Aber a long moment, Bowen slumped back and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his gaze was clear. He told himself, “Bree was just drunk. If she were sober, this would never have happened.

‘I’ll just pretend this never happened.

Matilda and her brother a ride home

Alvin said gently, “Matilda, next time you run into any trouble, just let us know. We’re not just teammates, we’re your friends, too.”

Under the flickering glow of aging streetlights, Alvin’s gaze followed the siblings through the car window as they leaned on each other for support, making their way forward.

After all, since Matilda’s friends were so well connected, he wanted to have them help his family.

He thought, for people like them, it’s just a word.

Matilda knew exactly what kind of preson her brother was. As they were about to enter the apartment building, she stopped dead in her tracks, her supporting gesture abruptly turning into a shove

Drake was shoved against the wall, yelping, “Owl”

Matilda snapped, “Drake, I’m warning you, stop scheming about my friends! Have you forgotten what you promised me last time? Do you have to rum everyone in this family before you’re satisfied? Now that Harlan’s been dealt with, I swear, no more gambling ather this!”

“What are you doing in my house?” Matilda demandad, eyeing Carmen warily. They weren’t friends, her unexpected appearance could only mean

Carmen flashed a bright smile, completely unfazed by Matilda’s attitude. “I just found out you’re at Rithal High too, Matilda. Actually, I’m here to ask you for a favor.
