Chapter 302

“You fancy me, don’t you?” His seductive tone drifted into her ear with warmth. “I can feel it.” His tone was decisive, and confidence was the only thing in his charming eyes. Madeline found herself slightly at a loss with how close they were and the words he was saying. “You’re drunk,” Madeline responded calmly, though doubt was flashing in her eyes. Was he actually drunk, or was he just pretending? “It’s nice being drunk. At least then I get to see her…” He smiled; the ‘her’ was spoken so quietly that she almost missed it. The night wind blew past them, ruffling his bangs. His eyes were gentle, tinted with fondness and adoration under the hazy night, which Madeline had never seen before. He stared at her, then narrowed their distance even more. The scent of wine tickled her face with every breath of his. “I missed you so much…” he suddenly proclaimed, staring at her. Madeline’s heart shook. She was about to push him away, while the man reached out to caress her face.
