Right then, Eliana looked just like a foxy little minx, practically wagging her tail and begging for attention.
Her words made Jakai feel on top of the world, both inside and cut. They totally inflated his ego.
He grinned and gently pinched her tear–stained cheek. “This face just hit me right in the heart, he thought. “Little minx, let’s go. I’ll take you back,” he said.
By the time they got dressed, it was already three in the morning
Outside, the snow was coming down in thick sheets in the dead of night.

Eliana didn’t say anything, just flashed a faint smile. ‘Even if I ever get married, no way I’d marry some old dude, she thought
Seeing her stay quiet, Jakai frowned at her.
Just as he was about to ask her, he spotted Kaia standing in the yard.
Kaia was not exactly beautiful, but definitely had a face that grey on people. Her big eyes had a few time lines, and she was watching them with a cold, mocking smile.
