(Elena’s POV)

“Who is this?” Nathan Sterling’s gaze fell on David sitting across from me.

I smiled warmly. “This is my younger brother, David,”

Nathan extended his hand for a handshake. “My name is Nathan. I’m your sister’s friend.”

David shook his hand awkwardly. He looked uncomfortable being treated with such respect for the first time.

“I owe Elena a meal from our previous encounter,” Nathan said casually.

I had almost forgotten about it. “Oh, that’s really not necessary.”

“I insist,” Nathan replied with a gentle smile. “Are you free this weekend? When you’re not busy with your healing duties at the institute?”

I considered my schedule. “Saturday evening should work.”

“Perfect. I’ll make reservations somewhere nice.”

After Nathan left, David watched him go with curious eyes.

“He likes you,” David said bluntly.

I shook my head. “We’ve known each other since our healing academy days. If Nathan was interested, he

would have made his intentions clear already.”

David grinned mischievously. “Everyone always said we don’t look like siblings. I didn’t inherit half of your

beauty.”

I paused, studying David’s face. He resembled our mother Patricia with her sharp features and dark eyes.
