Chapter 52: The Alpha’s Gaze

Ethan nodded understandingly, but oddly looked a little disappointed at the same time. I watched as he silently took a sip of his wine, then set the glass down.

“I hope that’s okay,” I blurted out. “I suppose I should’ve said something before you spent the money on a bottle of wine.”
