She Flash-Married To His Rival

Chapter 196

Just as Moira thought Barclay was going to kiss her, the warm breath suddenly disappeared.

Moira instinctively opened her eyes and found herself locked in his gaze.

Barclay had already retreated a bit, looking at her with a smile. “You’re right. It might not be appropriate.”

Moira stared at his lips, feeling strangely disappointed at his words.

Her facial expression must have given her away because Barclay looked at her and remarked, “You seem quite disappointed?”

Startled, Moira hurriedly denied. “No, I’m not, I didn’t, I wouldn’t!”

Barclay smiled at her with a meaningful gaze. “Alright then.”

Feeling guilty, Moira said, “I’ll go practice the piano!”

Without waiting for a response, she ran upstairs and into the music room.

Her heart was pounding so fast. It felt like it might burst out of her chest at any moment.
