Chapter 124: Did I……
Naomi was caught offguard. She hadn’t expected to actually go on a breakfast date. She was genuinely shocked.
"Wow, my love, this is so romantic," she said, her voice filled with excitement.
Zylan glanced over at her, his lips twitching into a small smile, though it was fleeting. He was pleased by her reaction, but something in his eyes held a trace of caution, something Naomi couldn’t quite place. Still, she couldn’t help but feel a rush of warmth at the simple, thoughtful gesture.
In that moment, she made a decision. From now on, she’d start calling him "love." It felt right, natural even.
"Love" she spoke softly
Zylan turned rigid, his eyes widening slightly as he glanced at her. Naomi, noticing the shift in his demeanor, felt a flutter of nervousness. But, ever the playful one, she leaned in closer, hoping to ease the tension.
"Is there a problem, love?" she asked teasingly, her voice light and filled with a challenge.
Zylan turned toward her, his mouth opening and closing, seemingly at a loss for words. Naomi couldn’t help but smile at the sight of him—so composed, yet thrown off by something as simple as a term of endearment.
Noticing his hesitation, she leaned even closer, resting her face against his shoulder as if to comfort him. "Wow, this is very cute," she murmured softly, savoring the closeness.
Zylan stiffened, then slowly spoke, his voice low and slow. "Now it’s you who can get all teasing with your husband, huh?" His words carried an odd mixture of amusement and something else—a hint of something Naomi couldn’t quite decipher.
"Yes," Naomi nodded, her smile widening. She admitted it freely, enjoying the way his usually stoic expression softened.
