Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 210

Yuna's face changed completely. She looked panicked and grabbed my hand, shaking her head like crazy.

"Keira, no! It's not like that... Hayden's never liked any other girl. You're the first!"

Seeing her so freaked out, her lips turning pale, I realized I'd probably gone too far. I couldn't scare her like this-her heart wouldn't take it.

I gently tapped her on the nose, trying to lighten the mood. "Relax, okay? I know. Hayden already told me he's never had a girlfriend."

Yuna nodded, still looking a little anxious, and added, "He's never liked any other girl either."

She was so sincere, so pure, like she couldn't even lie if she tried. It made me wonder, 'When she does fall for someone, will she be able to handle it if the guy isn't as honest as she is?'

The world isn't as simple as Yuna. Relationships, with all their messy emotions and complications, might be tough for her to figure out.

I couldn't help but feel a little protective of her, even though I knew I was jumping the gun. We had barely met, but it already felt like she was my little sister.

"Don't worry," I said with a smile. "Hayden's as innocent as they come, and I'll take good care of him."

Yuna's face lit up, and she smiled back, looking relieved.
