Cici, carrying food, happened to walk to the entrance of the deck stairs at this moment.
As she listened to Caleb Sterling speaking, her hands holding the tray seemed to tighten slightly, and her gaze subtly shifted in Caleb Sterling's direction.
Her gaze lingered on him for quite a while, long enough that even Caleb Sterling, who was sitting with his back to her, seemed to notice.
With a slight turn of his handsome face, he inconspicuously glanced in her direction.
Their eyes met briefly, and Cici's face lowered.
"I've come to deliver something!" She walked over with composure, placing each dish from the tray onto the table where the two of them were sitting.
Caleb Sterling watched her movements without a trace, his gaze resting on her hands for a few seconds.
Her hands, slender, fair, and delicate, with evenly proportioned fingers resembling carved jade, were extraordinarily beautiful.
