Tatiana instantly sobered up when Sean hugged her. Her entire face and neck blushed from the


    exchange


    between them.


    “Ms. Tatiana, look out,” Sean warned. He thought she was drunk from the way she failed to steady


    herself.


    Concerned, he pulled her closer with his hand on her waist.


    All of a sudden, his heart skipped a beat, and his throat went dry. He couldn’t help but admire Tatiana’s


    tiny waist in his grip.


    Still, as a gentleman, he quickly pulled himself together without betraying any hint of desire.


    “Sean, please send Taty back. Thanks!” Alyssa yelled.


    She had always been observant, but she was much more rxed and careless around family. Up until


    then, she failed to pick up the subtle tension between Sean and Tatiana.


    She waved at them and left, arm-in-arm with Jonah. It was only Tatiana and Sean alone after that. The


    air


    between them froze, leaving them rather flustered.


    “Um, Lyse! Lyse!” Tatiana called out feebly, her heart pumping wild.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Sean reassured her with a straight face and a gentle tone, “Don’t worry, Ms. Tatiana. I promised Ms.


    Alyssa I’ll send you back to campus.”


    “I-It’s okay! I just had a few sips. I’m not that drunk,” she insisted. Staring at her feet, she gently pushed


    him away to prove she wasn’t drunk.


    Despite that, Sean held her again out of concern. “Look at you saying that you’re not drunk! Do you


    remember what happened when you said the same thingst time-”


    Both of them were startled at his words. They were reminded of their light kiss on that night that started


    it


    all.


    He stared nkly at her rosy cheeks. His heart was beating fast, and his chest swelled with some


    inexplicable emotions.


    “S-Sean, I had too much to drink thest time. I’m… I’m sorry…” Tatiana muttered an apology with a


    frantic and guilty look.


    Any woman with a little courage would have taken the chance to confess her love.


    However, Tatiana was a copy of L-timid and unsure of herself. Despite sharing a kiss with a kind


    man


    She believed that Sean was Alyssa’s, and she wouldn’t want to get involved with Alyssa’s man.


    “Ms. Tatiana,” Sean gulped and cautiously prodded. “Was that… your first kiss?”


    “Oh, it’s fine, Sean. I had too much to drink. Please don’t overthink it.” Tatiana forced a smile.


    The guilt hit Sean like a train. “Was it really… your first?”


    He stumbled a few steps back and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, Ms. Tatiana! I was wrong and


    unprofessional. How can I ever make amends?”


    Her heart froze. She was tortured by her crush, who had no other feelings except for guilt and


    reverence toward her.


    “It’s really okay, Sean,” she replied after taking a deep breath to stop her tears from falling. She helped


    him


    “Be extra nice to Lyse If you really want to make it up to me.”
