Nyla raised an eyebrow at Oliver. Noticing his ears turning red, she couldn’t resist teasing him. “I didn’t expect someone as busy as you to have time to learn how to make soup.”

Oliver cleared his throat, looking down to hide his nervousness. “Your stomach isn’t great, and I remember when we were abroad, you had soup at a restaurant and said it was good. I asked the chef to teach me how to make it, so I could cook it for you whenever you want.”

Nyla was stunned. She hadn’t realized her casual compliment had stuck with Oliver to the point where he actually learned to cook it himself.

A warm, overwhelming feeling swelled in her chest, and her eyes stung slightly. She had never thought anyone would go to such lengths for her.

“Oliver, thank you,” she said softly.

Oliver looked up at her and smiled. “Nyla, you don’t need to thank me. I didn’t do this without expecting something in return.”

Seeing the affection in his eyes, Nyla felt her face grow warm. She quickly looked away, spotting the chessboard in front of them.

She couldn’t help but laugh. “You should focus on the game. You’re about to lose.”

A few minutes later, Oliver did indeed lose to Mason.
