The atmosphere in the restaurant was very strange, and Sylvia was also very uneasy. There was a look of panic and anxiety in her eyes as she focused her gaze on Quill's face. Sylvia didn't know if Quill would notice something strange, so she kept finding a topic to talk about to get their attention focused on herself.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the two men on the table barely looked at her.

"Achoo-"

Kimberly's nose felt itchy. She covered her nose instinctively and sneezed, throwing her head back.

It wasn't loud, but it attracted everyone's attention.

Including Quill's and Maddox's who were previously unfazed.

"What's wrong?" Maddox frowned and asked.

Quill also looked Kimberly up and down.

Sylvia was going to care for Kimberly, but when she saw Maddox and Quill looking at her, she stopped herself. It was normal for Maddox to care about Kimberly, but why was Quill, too? Seeing this, Sylvia bit her lower lip silently and clenched her fists under the table.

Why? She tried so hard to attract their attention, yet no one looked at her. On the other hand, Kimberly only sneezed and all eyes were on her. Speaking of Quill, he was usually calm and could restrain himself. But why was he looking at her? He was even still staring at her now! Was Kimberly really that beautiful?

Sylvia was already panicking, and she couldn't calm down now. She twisted her hands so hard that she didn't realize she had pinched her nails into her flesh.

Kimberly's fair face turned red immediately when she saw everyone looking at her. She covered her nose and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. Please continue."

Maddox frowned. Did she sneeze because she was cold? She had been sleeping on the floor since he moved her small bed away. At night, he would also grab her quilt away and hug her to sleep. She would always kick the quilt away in the middle of the night. Sometimes, when she woke up in the morning, she would want to stay far away from him.

At this time, the waiter brought the coffee, which was meant to go to the center of the table. Sylvia, who was sitting on the outer edge of the table, saw this and had a sudden thought. "Oh, my God."

"Ah!"
