As they were eating, Ayla looked up from the plate and turned around.

Suddenly she froze when her eyes met Brian's sharp gaze directly on her.

Anna followed Brian's gaze and located Ayla.

A smirk appeared on her face as she waited for the drama.

"Lala, what's wrong?"

Toby held Ayla's hand and shook it gently.

"Are you cold? Why is your hand so cold?"

"Oh, it's nothing.I'm fine."

Ayla forced a smile as she averted her gaze from Brian and looked down.

She withdrew her hand gently from Toby's hold, conscious of Brian’s burning gaze that bore into her.

She knew he was misunderstanding the whole situation.

She'd have to face its consequences.

"Come on, finish the food.Do you want more? I can order more for you."

Toby looked at her with adoration in his eyes.

She was still that little girl whom he left years ago.

He reached out and rubbed her hair softly.

He wanted to come back before her eighteenth birthday and celebrate it with her.

But he couldn't make it.

Now that he was here, he could make it up for her.

"Thank you, Toby."

Ayla nodded then drank the orange juice quickly.

Toby noticed how suddenly she turned restless.

Meanwhile, Anna gave Brian a side glance.
