Chapter 61
Debra reluctantly let Juan take the lead. “Fine, let’s go shopping.”
Since it wasn’t her money, she could browse as she pleased.
She failed to notice the faint smile tugging at Juan’s lips.
At the mall, Debra surveyed the layout. She was planning to construct a large commercial street, so doing some research was necessary.
Suddenly, she felt her hand being tugged and warlly pulled away. Juan had returned from getting bubble
tea.
What are
you doing?” She freaked out.
“Holding hands, for a photo,” he replied, glancing towards a paparazzi–like figure with a camera not far away.
Debra agreed, despite finding it troublesome.
Juan pulled out his phone and opened the camera.
“What now?”
“Selfie.”
Debra stiffened in front of the lens. Juan frowned, sulking, “Can’t you smile?”
Debra wanted to smile, but seeing Juan in the camera, she couldn’t manage more than a strained grin.
Juan turned off the camera with annoyance, and Debra turned to buy more clothes.
She wasn’t paying the bill anyway.
In the afternoon, Juan found a quiet café and ordered a set of desserts for Debra. He sat opposite her, sipping his coffee.
Debra was content with her shopping haul, enjoying her dessert bite by bite.
Seeing her like this, Juan unexpectedly felt comforted.
He took out his phone and snapped a half–face selfie with Debra unaware.
Hearing the shutter sound, Debra looked up in confusion. “What are you doing?”
Juan adjusted his clothes, acting as if nothing had happened. He casually replied, “The desserts look nice, so I took a photo.”
“Huh?” Debra found it absurd. ‘A grown man enjoys taking photos of girly desserts?’
“Finished eating?”
“I
Can’t eat anymore.”
“Let’s go.
Juan got up to pay the bill.
