However, a little later.
When the ordered food arrived, Hamza cut the steak himself and fed it to Gia with a fork. Gia accepted it without refusal, eagerly eating whatever was given to her.
What? Gia wasn’t a child, did she have no hands or feet?
Even with two other people sitting in front of them, wasn’t this excessive display of affection a bit much? It seemed she wasn’t even embarrassed.
Dylan, who had to watch it all, felt utterly nauseated.
“Gia, you two still seem like newlyweds. You look so happy, it’s nice to see.”
Lola, sitting across from Gia, said as she twirled her pasta with a fork. Gia smiled brightly. Dylan found Lola’s comment ridiculous and complained.
“You like this kind of thing? I find it cheesy and disgusting, I can’t eat at all.”
Dylan shook off the goosebumps, saying it was cringe-worthy. Indeed, Dylan was really unable to touch his food. Hamza, on the other hand, couldn’t understand Dylan’s reaction.
“Oh dear! Our brother-in-law doesn’t know anything. We call this an expression of affection. I think you need to learn a bit. If you express affection like this to Teacher Lola, she’ll be very pleased.”
Such excessive displays of affection didn’t suit the cold image of Dylan Eve at all. At Hamza’s words, Lola firmly denied any misunderstanding Dylan might have.
“Oh, no. I don’t get used to this kind of thing.”
As soon as Lola finished speaking, Dylan immediately took over.
“So if you want to express affection or whatever, do it quietly when you’re alone. What is this nonsense in front of people, really…”
Dylan shook his arms again, feeling the goosebumps rise.
“I’m hungry, so please let’s eat.”
Dylan snapped irritably. Hamza shrugged lightly, and Gia shook her head. Lola wore a smile that was barely visible.
Feeling nauseated, Dylan cut the steak into small pieces and resolutely decided.
Even if I die and come back to life, I will never sit down to eat with that cheesy couple again.
It was pure t*****e.
**********
The meal, which was both boring and painful, finally ended, and as always, Dylan drove Lola to the hospital.
As Dylan stopped the car in the parking lot, Lola hesitated for a moment before cautiously opening her mouth.
“Um, um… Dear.”
Dylan turned to look at Lola with a questioning gaze.
“I was curious about how you feel when you’re with me.”
Remembering that she had forgotten to ask last time due to the chaos, Lola gathered her courage to ask. Dylan didn’t hesitate at all and answered immediately.
“When I see you, I want to kiss you, and when I don’t see you, I’m curious. That’s my answer.”
After saying that, Dylan pressed a button. A click was heard, but Lola still hadn’t noticed anything.
The words that he wanted to kiss her echoed in her ears, leaving her completely dazed.
“Oh, yes. I heard your answer well.”
Then she turned her body to open the passenger door, but for some reason, the door wouldn’t open. Still struggling to open it, Lola asked in confusion.
“Dear, the door won’t open.”
“Of course not. I locked it.”
“Excuse me?”
Why?
Locking the passenger door?
What was he trying to do?
Seeing Lola’s startled expression, Dylan calmly explained.
“Didn’t I just say? When I see you, I want to kiss you.”
“Th-that’s what you said.”
As Lola’s cheeks flushed bright red, she mumbled softly, and Dylan spoke even more clearly than before.
“I think I need to kiss you.”
“I think we should kiss.”
With those words, his handsome face drew closer. The air in the car instantly became hot. Her heart raced at the fiery gaze that seemed to burn her alive.
Dylan gently cradled her face and pressed his lips against hers. Then, he began to taste every corner of her mouth, blowing warm breaths through her slightly parted lips.
Even though it wasn’t the first or second time that Lola was kissed helplessly by Dylan, she still hadn’t gotten used to it. In moments like this, she felt flustered but couldn’t firmly push him away. Honestly, she didn’t dislike kissing him. So, she accepted it wholeheartedly.
As the kiss deepened, Lola, who had initially been flustered, wrapped her arms around his neck. This time, Dylan pulled back, looking a bit flustered himself.
“Lola, it’s too dangerous if you’re this proactive.”
Being with him was dangerous no matter what they did.
Always in a state of tension, she often found herself feeling dazed.
Then, this time, Lola, who was slow to react, released her arms from around his neck, but Dylan didn’t let it go easily.
“It’s too late.”
As his words ended, the kiss resumed.
Why was she feeling so thirsty?
Why did her body react first when she was with him?
When she held you when she kissed you…
It felt so good and comfortable.
This feeling that came without warning was still unfamiliar to Dylan.
Her heart raced, but she couldn’t even understand why.
