The guy's expression was calm, his usual edge dialed way down. At a glance, Nyx almost thought he'd gotten his memory back. Before she could process, he took her hand, and she dazedly followed him into his place.

A sweet-tangy smell hung in the air. Seafarion brought over a steaming bowl of soup. Just made it-careful, it's hot, he warned gently.

Nyx sipped it slowly. Then a big hand settled on her full stomach. She paused, glancing at Seafarion.

"I've been learning some massage techniques lately, he explained softly. Til rub your tummy-it'll feel better and help digestion."

After all his doting, he rarely initiated touch. Today, though, something had shaken him up, flipping his usual restraint. Nyx raised an eyebrow but didn't say no.

The sofa was decked out with soft cushions. She sank in, cozy as could be, and started drifting off. Seeing her relax. Seafarion picked his moment. “What'd you cat out there earlier, Nyx?"

"A place in the north part of town-Styria style, Nyx mumbled, eyes shut, listing off dishes in bits and pieces.

"Did you like it, Nyx?" he asked.

Nyx nodded, then shook her head. "It was alright, but not as good as your cooking."

One honest line, and the guy next to her was over the moon. He kept digging into which dishes she liked, planning to learn them himself.

"Did you get carsick today?" he asked.

Nyx nodded honestly. "Just a little bit," she said.

Truth be told, the driver's skills were pretty good that day. It was Nyx who'd been too impatient, urging the driver to speed up, which inevitably made her dizzy again.

"But I feel fine now," she said. After downing a bowl of soup, she felt revived, her whole body at ease.

"How come you're back so early?" Nyx wasn't just on the receiving end of questions-she turned it around on him. "Not busy with work today?"

Seafarion had learned to be straightforward. "Because I missed you. I wanted to see you."

Work was, of course, busy. In his position, there was always an endless pile of things to do. But Nyx was his top priority.

Those tasks could wait a day or two. Nyx, though, was one of a kind— irreplaceable—and he couldn't let someone else snatch her away.

They chatted idly about trivial things for a while. Seafarion gradually scooted closer to Nyx, sitting beside her, then suddenly asked, "Did you go out with Kai because he's good-looking?"

Since the sugar baby deal turned out to be a misunderstanding, it meant Nyx had gone out with Kai willingly-letting him hold her, kiss her, all of her own accord.

Nyx lifted her eyelids, her sleepiness fading by half. She realized at some point she'd ended up wrapped in his arms. Seafarion had stretched out his long arm to hold her, gently rubbing her stomach. He gazed at her intently, waiting for her

answer.

"Part of it was that," Nyx replied carefully, "but not the whole reason." There were tons of good-looking cople in the world,

and she didn't like every single one of them.

"Part of the reason?" Seafarion chewed over those words cautioudy, then ventured an invitatio Tomorrow, could we go on a date?"

"Sure, but not tomorrow," Nyx said, wanting to cheer Seafarion up a bit. Let's pack another time. Tomy Tee online event with the Breaking Chains crew.
