Whenever they went out together before, Sebastian was always the one who arrived first. He would have already bought her favorite latte and snacks by the time she showed up on the dot.

Madison tilted her head and blinked at him. “You’re upset, aren’t you?”

He averted his eyes but insisted, “I’m not angry.

“You are!”

“I’m not!”

“You are!”

They started arguing like children right there in the middle of the street.

Sebastian snapped, “Fine, then tell me why you think I’m upset!”

“You’re clearly upset everywhere! Your eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, hair, and even your eyelashes are saying that you’re angry!”

He was rendered speechless.
