Charlotte’s breath hitched, and her grip on her fork tightened slightly. Struggling to suppress her emotions, she asked, “What exactly are you trying to do?”

Arthur’s gaze settled on her ear, where the soft, fair skin of her earlobe had turned an unmistakable shade of pink from his warm breath. His eyes darkened, and without hesitation, he leaned in and kissed it lightly.

Then he said nonchalantly, “What else? I’m here to eat.”

Charlotte’s entire body stiffened. It took every ounce of self–control not to jab her fork into his face. Gritting her teeth, she asked, “What are you eating?”

Arthur smiled with satisfaction. He beckoned the server, glanced at the menu, and swiftly ordered a few dishes.

Pete’s smile faded even further.

Pete sighed internally. “That’s too bad. No wonder she always looks troubled. Her life must be so unhappy.”
