Chapter 351

Liam Sullivan removed his black suit, his mature masculine charm now more pronounced.

He tossed the towel casually into the laundry hamper.

Picking up his phone, he glanced at it briefly.

His gaze shifted toward her. "Why aren't you looking?"

His deep, magnetic voice carried a lazy, unhurried tone.

His damp black hair dripped with water droplets.

His narrow eyes fixed intently on her.

The atmosphere made Vivian Bennett's heart race.

A wave of feminine shyness washed over her.

She couldn't bring herself to meet his profound gaze.

She feared drowning in those depths.

Vivian spoke softly. "It might be work-related. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to see."

She paused briefly.

Then she teased lightly. "What if it's another woman? That would be even more inappropriate."

Her rationality was utterly frustrating.

Liam's eyes darkened slightly.

He pinched her cheek firmly.

Vivian winced in slight pain.

Only then did he release his grip.

He opened the text message.

After reading it, his expression remained neutral.

He handed the phone to her.

The message contained only three words. "You got me!"

Those simple words radiated the sender's fury and resentment.

The number was unfamiliar and unsaved.

Vivian raised an eyebrow, looking at Liam.

Since he showed her, he clearly wanted her to inquire.

She obliged. "Who sent it?"

"The blind date my grandparents introduced last time."

Liam hadn't saved the number, but it was easy to guess it was Chloe Winston.

She had obtained his contact through Ryan Johnson.

Ryan had given his number to a stranger. They would have a serious discussion tomorrow.

Vivian was slightly taken aback.

She hadn't expected him to admit it was a blind date so openly.

His willingness to show her proved nothing happened between them.

She blinked playfully. "Why did she say 'you got me'? Did you offend her?"

Liam had no intention of hiding it.

He explained the situation concisely.

Vivian looked at him with deep meaning.

Liam flicked her forehead unceremoniously. "What are you thinking?"

The flick was somewhat forceful.

Vivian rubbed her forehead and raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure this woman isn't interested in you?"

"Overthinking it."

Vivian studied him carefully.

From his eyes to his nose.

From his lips to his entire being.

Liam allowed her scrutiny.

He waited until her gaze finally withdrew.

A slight smile touched his lips. "Fallen for me?"

"Indeed."

"I find you truly captivating." Vivian leaned closer, her clear eyes sparkling with amusement. "Will I lose you?"
