Chapter 337: Love at first sight.
Myra’s condition wasn’t different from his. She also couldn’t stop looking at him. Ever since she had arrived in town to help Ava, she had heard countless stories about Nicholas. And with each story, her curiosity had grown. She had become infatuated with him, imagining him and wanting to meet him. And finally, he was in front of her.
And she couldn’t stop staring.
’He is even more handsome than I imagined,’ she thought, her heartbeat quickening. ’How can someone be this handsome? What would it be like... to be his girlfriend?’
Her lips pressed together as a small, almost playful idea formed in her mind. Slowly, she leaned forward, resting her elbow on her knee and propping her chin against her palm. Her eyes gleamed with curiosity as she continued watching him.
Nicholas could feel her eyes on him, and it made him even more nervous. He was never the type to fidget under someone’s attention before. But now, he was sweating under her steady gaze.
He had just finished drinking an entire glass of water, but his throat still felt dry, an unfamiliar heat creeping up his neck.
Shifting uncomfortably, he adjusted his tie, his fingers tugging at the knot. "You are Dylan’s relative." He found his voice again.
"I’m Ava’s cousin," Myra corrected, her smile never wavering. "Dylan asked me to take care of Ava, so I’m here. I’ll be staying with her until the baby is born."
’Ava’s cousin.’ The words echoed in his head, and suddenly, everything clicked. He understood why she looked like Ava.
"Are you single?" Myra asked, breaking Nicholas’s trance.
Nicholas blinked. "Uh?" He was completely caught off guard. He gaped at her, utterly unprepared for the sudden shift in conversation.
