Jeremiah seemed to understand her gaze. He looked into her cool gaze and whispered, "She's trying to steal you from me

Jeremiah had only one rule now. He'd treat his love rivals equally, whether they are human or animal or of a different gender. He'd treat them like he would treat his mother.

Clifford also sat down on the couch and looked at the empty seats on either side of him and then opposite him, where the couch was already crowded.

He deliberately said, "Fine, you want to study chess? So do I. Let's skip dinner and study together right here."

Jase's breathing became heavier out of frustration as he said, "Stop being unreasonable with me, Owens."
