Yannis gazed down at her tenderly. “So, what good thing happened? Will you tell me?”

“Hmm… Good thing? What good thing?” Zinnia blinked in confusion.

“Didn’t you just say something good happened today, Zinnia? Would you share it with me?” Knowing that drunk people often forgot what they’d said, Yannis patiently repeated his question.

“Good thing… Hmm… I can’t tell…” Though intoxicated, Zinnia subconsciously resisted sharing the joy bubbling in her heart.

“Can’t you tell me?” Yannis asked patiently.

“Hmm… I can’t… My heart says I can’t tell you.” Zinnia refused, grabbing Yannis‘ hand and pressing it against her chest. “It’s not that I won’t tell you; my heart just won’t let me.”

Zinnia spoke with utter seriousness. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell him; it was as if some voice deep inside was forbidding her.

Yannis froze. Yannis‘ warm palm rested gently against her chest, the touch soft and tender.

Today, she wore a light yellow sundress, its silky fabric whisper–thin. Pressed against her heart, through the delicate material, he could feel her heartbeat—a steady, rhythmic pulse beneath his hand.

While he was listening to the steady rhythm of her heartbeat, Yannis‘ gaze softened, and a gentle warmth spread through his chest.

Zinnia murmured in a soft, drunken voice, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, Yannis. It’s just… my heart won’t let me. So you can’t be mad at me, okay?”

Before Yannis could respond, the girl’s small, warm figure nestled into his embrace.

Zinnia, feeling weary from sitting, shifted forward and rested her head against his chest. Deep down, she trusted the man before her completely.

Im so sleepy.” Zinnia yawned, her beautiful features drooping with exhaustion.

She hadn’t been resting well these days, and after some alcohol and all that commotion, drowsiness finally overtook her.

“Sleep if you’re tired,” Yannis murmured softly, gently stroking her hair.

“Mm–hmm,” Zinnia murmured drowsily, wrapping her arms around Yannis‘ waist as she nestled into a comfortable position before obediently closing her eyes.

Feeling her reliance, Yannis lowered his gaze. Zinnia’s delicate face rested against his chest, and her soft pink lips slightly pouted in sleep.
