Abigail pinched herself secretly to confirm she wasn’t dreaming.

Jacob held a plate with two pieces of dessert. He wore a gentle smile as he handed it to her.

“I wasn’t sure which one you’d like, so I brought both,” he said softly. “I’ve checked this one. It’s low in sugar and won’t make you gain weight. It’s okay to have a little.”

Abigail couldn’t hide her smile as their hands touched when she received the plate. Her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank.

Jacob wasn’t doing much better. He had impulsively stood up to defend her when he saw her surrounded by the press, but he worried he had done more harm than good.

What if the troublesome reporters started writing fake stories about her, making her life even more difficult?

He brought two desserts to make amends and handed them over. His heart started racing like never before when he accidentally brushed her hand.

“T-Thank you for just now,” Abigail’s voice was barely audible.

“It’s fine, just doing what I can. I hope it doesn’t cause you more problems.”

“Hey!” Someone suddenly shouted.
