Leo opened the car door for Hannah and coaxed her, “Come on, that’s enough now. Let the kids have some space to bond. Let Grayson hurry up to marry her.”

Hannah replied, “Well, I’m not bothering them.”

Leo said, “Of course you are! With us hanging around, they can’t really let loose.”

Hannah finally gave in and got in the car, though she wasn’t happy about it.

When Grayson came back from throwing out the trash, he saw Eloise curled up on the couch, scrolling through her phone.

Her eyes lit up now and then.

She’d crack a sneaky smile.

Sometimes, she’d laugh so hard she doubled over.

Grayson’s face darkened.

He thought, ‘She is so annoying. If I don’t talk to her, can’t she take the initiative for once?

‘What’s she watching that’s got her laughing like that?’

Grayson poured a glass of water and walked over to the back of the couch.

He thought, ‘Well, she’s watching those mini-series again.

Seeing her so absorbed in her mini-series and completely ignoring him, Grayson felt jealousy bubbling up inside him.

He waited for a good while, but Eloise was still oblivious to him, so he sat down right next to her, drink in hand.

Eloise was slapping her legs and laughing. “Oh my god, I’m dying here!”

Grayson glanced at her.

He thought, ‘Seriously, what’s so funny? That guy’s not even half as good-looking as me, and the girl can’t hold a candle to Eloise.’

He cleared his throat and said, “Can you at least act a little more gently?”

Seeing Grayson finally talk to her, Eloise held her phone up to him and said, “Come on, let’s watch together! These are funny.”

Grayson turned his head away and said, “This stuff’s way too childish for me.”

Almost like he could feel her gaze, Grayson suddenly stopped and turned around, catching Eloise blushing, her eyes practically lit.

Grayson thought, ‘Just like Joslyn used to look at me.

But now that Eloise was watching him, that actually made him feel pretty good.

He smirked and said, “Hurry up and come upstairs. I’ll show you what’s under these pants.”

Eloise was speechless.

She turned away, her face blazing red, and shut her eyes regretfully.

‘Seriously, when did I get so crazy?’ she thought, embarrassed.

She thought, ‘It’s gotta be the mini-series messing with me.

‘After bingeing on so many handsome guys, now I’m all fluttery.’

After his shower, Grayson went to the main bedroom, stretched out on the bed, and waited for Eloise, but she still hadn’t shown up.

He remembered the mini-series Eloise had been watching earlier, something named “Swapping a Husband.”

Curious, he searched it up.

After watching the first episode, it felt oddly familiar.

He thought, surprised, ‘Wait, isn’t this just like Finn’s dream?’

The guy was leaning against a luxury car parked right outside the courthouse, and the girl walked up with her paperwork, asked if he wanted to get married, and just like that, they went inside and married.

Grayson couldn’t help but wonder if Finn had watched this mini-series, too.

He frowned, watching two episodes.

‘Seriously, how is that guy even remotely as good-looking as me?’ he thought, feeling a little annoyed.

‘What a clueless woman! Screaming over some other guy. This is driving me crazy. I’m definitely going to make her pay for this later, he thought, his jealousy flaring up.

Grayson waited for another half an hour, but Eloise still hadn’t come up.

With a sigh, he had no choice but to go downstairs to fetch her himself.

Eloise was tired of sitting and sprawled out on the couch, kicking her feet in the air.

She was laughing so hard her shoulders shook, looking like a total lunatic.

Grayson walked over and snatched her phone right out of her hands.

Eloise huffed, “Give me my phone back!”

She turned to him with her cheeks puffed out, looking very annoyed.

Grayson gave her a stern look, then bent down and carried her right up. “Time for bed,” he said.

Eloise wrapped her arms around his neck and said, “I’m not sleepy.”

“Really? Perfect, I’ve got something else in mind,” Grayson said with a smirk.

Eloise was still hung up on that unfinished mini-series, but with Grayson pressing her down on the bed and his so unfairly good-looking face right in front of her, every other thought just vanished.

Her heart was racing, and she couldn’t help but get all fluttery.

Without even realizing it, her hand ran over his face. Before she knew it, she leaned in and kissed him first.

Grayson was at a loss for words.

‘What’s

up

with her? When did she get so bold?’ he thought, totally caught off guard.

But honestly, he was very satisfied.

Eloise closed her eyes, copying the way the leads in those mini-series kissed and flirted.

Her kissing skills definitely leveled up.

Grayson’s Adam’s apple bobbed as his deep gaze locked onto her, watching fiery Eloise in front of him.

Grayson thought, genuinely surprised, ‘When did she get so good at kissing?

‘Did she secretly practice or something?

‘She’s gonna be the death of me if she keeps flirting with me like this!”

Grayson flipped the script, pinning Eloise’s hands above her head and pressing down on her with a fierce intensity.

They didn’t mention the little disagreement from earlier. They both knew it wasn’t worth hashing out right

now.

Grayson felt a bit down, but honestly, this was just where they were these days.
