Chapter 245: A breather

Evans and Naalie strolled along the bustling streets of Dubai, their fingers lightly intertwined. The city shimmered with its vibrant lights, casting a magical aura around them. "This feels surreal," Naalie said, her eyes wide with wonder. "I wanted tonight to be special," Evans replied, smiling softly at her. "No hidden agendas, no lies. Just us." Naalie's heart fluttered at his words. She had grown accustomed to deceit and manipulation, but with Evans, everything felt different—genuine. They arrived at a quaint restaurant tucked away in a quiet corner. Soft music played in the background as they settled into their seats. "Thank you for bringing me here," Naalie said, her cheeks flushed with excitement. "I'm just glad you agreed to come," Evans replied, his eyes never leaving hers. As they dined on delectable dishes, they shared stories from their past, laughing at each other's antics. Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in each other's company.
