Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 30

The meal ‌went smoothly. She now felt more at ease with his company. Although Justin looked stoic and arrogant, deep down he’s a warm person. And gosh, that laugh. It hugged Serene’s heart and sent shivers down her spine. She has not felt this good in such a long time.

After the meal, Justin drove her back to the hotel she was staying.

“Do you have any plans for the weekend?” Justin gave her a quick glance.

“This weekend? I’ll be in Coast City.”

“I see.” Justin nodded.

He stopped the car a few meters from the hotel’s entrance, which earned a confused look from Serene.

He cleared his throat and looked at her. He scanned her face, not wanting to miss a single feature. His index finger gently traced her jawline, sending thousands of shivers down Serene’s back.

She wanted to look away, but Justin’s gaze held her eyes in place. He looked at her with so much longing and warmth it made Serene’s heart beat erratically in her chest.

Different emotions played in his eyes. He seemed to fight an internal battle. After a while, he cupped her face in his hand, still looking at her tenderly. Serene cannot help but lean on his hand and sniff its fragrance.

“Serene…” His breath sounds labored.

“Hmmm…” she lifted her eyes to look at him.

The way Justin’s eyes looked at her simply took Serene’s breath away.

“I like you.” His eyes bored into her. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down when he swallowed. Serene’s eyes rounded from his confession but said nothing and just continued to listen to him.

“I know that things between us are crazy and messy, but I don’t care about them. I only know that I want to be with you.” Justin took his hand from her face only to hold her hand. He gave it a gentle squeeze before putting it to his mouth and gave it a peck.

“Please Serene, give me a chance.” His pleading voice was knocking on Serene’s heart.

Her head was a mess. She cannot believe what she just heard. Justin liked her? When did this happen? She felt a little giddy from his confession, but a heartbeat after the reality of their situation hit her. Come on, Justin is Bryan’s brother-in-law. Her ex boyfriend’s brother-in-law for crying out loud!
