Chapter 273

Nydia was already feeling tipsy, but the moment Jason grabbed her, she sobered up.

Her petite blushed face, the tips of her ears, and her swan–like neck all blushed in a charming color.

“Be careful, Ms. Nydia.”

Jason saw her unsteady stance and assumed she was drunk. His eyes were filled with concern as he wrapped his long arms around her delicate waist, pulling her closer.

Suddenly, his throat felt dry, and his heart skipped a beat.

Her waist was so soft and delicate that it made him momentarily dazed. But he was a man of integrity, not one to be swayed by lust. He quickly composed himself, his handsome face not betraying any emotion.

“Jason, I’ll leave my sister to you tonight!”

Evadne, being the perceptive person she was, had not noticed the tension between them. She casually waved at them and left, hanging onto Cassius’s strong arm. The two were left alone, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

“Uh, Evadne!” Nydia called out hesitantly with a blush on her face, her heart pounding.

“Don’t worry, Nydia.”

Jason looked at her kindly and reassured her, “I promised your sister I would get you home safely.”

“No need, Jason. I just had a little drink, I’m not drunk.” Nydia tried to push him away lightly, wanting to prove she wasn’t drunk.

But Jason was worried about her, so he steadied her again, “You said the same thing last time, but you still ended up

At that moment, they both froze.

A memory of a passionate kiss they had shared on a past night came flooding back.

Jason gazed at Nydia’s face, pale as jade and tinged with a rosy glow. His heart was in turmoil, a strange feeling of uncertainty welling up in his chest.

“Jason, last time I was drunk. I’m sorry.”

Nydia looked anxious, guilt coloring her eyes.

A braver girl would have confessed her love to the man she loved in such a situation. But Nydia, being the shy and timid girl her mother Myra had raised her to be, could only bury her feelings deep within her heart.

Even if Jason was a kind and gentle man, even if they had shared a real kiss, she knew she couldn’t lay claim to her sister’s man.

“Ms. Nydia.” Jason’s voice was slightly hoarse. He swallowed and asked hesitantly, “Was that your first kiss?”

“Don’t worry about it, Jason. I was drunk. Don’t think too much about it.” Nydia tried to put on a brave smile.
