The Love From Vengeance

Chapter 291

291: SORT OF JEALOUS

ARIEL’S POV

With Luke sitting across from me, his earnest gaze fixed on mine, and I couldn’t help but feel a flutter of doubt. His words reassured me, but actions spoke louder than words, didn’t they?

“What if you got some important project? I challenged him, searching for any hint of hesitation in his response.

Luke’s expression softened, his eyes never leaving mine. “Ariel, you’ll always be my priority. No matter what important project comes up, you’ll come first.”

His eyes widened in surprise. “Are you serious?”

restaurant dimmed, the spotlight focusing solely on him as he stood there, microphone in hand. My heart pounded in anticipation as he began to sing, his voice filling the room with warmth and melody.

While he sang, his gaze never wavered from mine, his words carrying a depth of emotion that sent shivers down my spine. And then, as if guided by an invisible force, he moved closer to me, his voice growing softer, more intimate.

And before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me, his hand reaching out to gently cup my cheek as he leaned in, pressing his lips to mine in a tender kiss. The world around. us faded away, leaving only the two of us enveloped in the music and the moment.
