Chapter 115


After finishing their meal, Tessa nudged Stephen toward the door, her cheeks tinged with a rosy hue.

"Alright, Stephen, time to go. I made plans with Naomi and Sienna to go

Stephen stood his ground, his gaze tinged with a trace of hurt. "Have you already grown tired of me?"

At nearly six foot three, he was a solid wall, completely unshakable. No matter how hard Tessa pushed, he didn't budge an inch.

Stephen raised an eyebrow. "What's so inconvenient about me coming? I can carry your bags. You three are definitely going to shop till you drop. How much can those tiny arms of yours even hold?"

Tessa huffed in exasperation. "Ugh, just go already! I still need to do my makeup I don't have time to deal with you."

Stephen's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I could do your makeup for you," he teased.
