Seraphina took the milk tea Lucian handed her, took a sip, and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
"Good?" Lucian leaned in, his voice low.
"Yeah."
Lucian reached out, and Seraphina naturally placed the cup in his hand.
She thought he was just holding it for her.
Instead, he took a sip and frowned. It was too sweet.
"It's good," Lucian finally said after a moment.
Seraphina looked away uncomfortably, muttering, "I already drank from that..."
Lucian smirked at the flush on her cheeks. "I don't mind."
"I mind," Seraphina mumbled.
"Let's go. We need to buy toys for Little Bean," Lucian said, in high spirits.
Seraphina hummed in agreement and walked by his side.
They stepped into a chain maternity and baby store, browsing the aisles.
"Look at this. It transforms and has a remote control. It's fun. Little Bean will definitely love it."
Lucian picked up a transforming toy and waved it in front of the baby.
Little Bean showed zero interest, too lazy to even lift his eyelids. "Dad is so childish. I don't like this at all."
Hearing her son's inner voice, Seraphina almost burst out laughing.
Lucian didn't give up, still dangling the toy. "Junior, look, it transforms, and it can..."
"You're the one who wants to play with it, aren't you?" Seraphina couldn't help but interrupt.
Lucian's eyes flickered. He set the toy down and coughed to cover his embarrassment. "Of course not."
Seraphina raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Is that so?"
"Lucian?"
A sharp voice rang out behind them, shattering the harmonious moment.
"Darling, aren't you going to introduce us?"
With a smile, Seraphina deliberately linked her arm through Lucian's.
Lucian paused. She was acting completely different from just a couple of days ago.
She had never been this proactive.
His heart skipped a beat, but before he could process the feeling, Evie's shrill voice pierced the air. "Ah! Lucian, let go of that woman! You can't be together!"
Her scream drew the attention of nearby shoppers.
Evie lunged at him recklessly, desperately trying to tear their intertwined hands apart.
Seraphina gave a sharp tug, pulling Lucian out of the way of the attack.
Evie missed and nearly fell to the floor.
Melody shot her a subtle look. Evie paused for a fraction of a second, then purposefully collapsed onto the ground.
She looked up at Lucian pitifully, reaching out her hand. "Lucian, it hurts so much."
