Lia Aiken held the large bouquet of roses given to her by Ivan Horne and noticed Charlotte Lewis smiling at them from a distance. Her pretty face flushed with a hint of shy color, making Ivan's gaze deepen even more, especially when his eyes landed on her pink lips, which made him feel thirsty and eager to taste their softness.
This thought gave Ivan a scare.
Before meeting Lia, he always considered himself a very rational and restrained man with little desire. He had never felt such longing for any woman before, which is why those who tried to use beauty to get close to him always failed.
Turns out, he wasn't a man with few desires—it was just that he hadn't met the right person yet.
Meeting the right person made his emotions develop extremely quickly, so much so that it surprised even him.
Of course, Ivan really wanted to taste Lia's red lips, but not now. The timing wasn't mature enough; Lia hadn't even agreed to be his girlfriend yet.
"Why did you buy me flowers?"
