Chapter 49: Embarrassing
As the car sped down the winding road, Remo couldn’t help but steal glances at Abby sitting next to him. The soft glow of the moon illuminated her features, casting a delicate shadow over her face. Tony’s steady driving provided the perfect backdrop for Remo to admire Abby’s beauty without being too conspicuous.
Abby fidgets with the corner of her book, stealing glances at Remo whenever she thinks he’s not looking.
Every time their eyes met, Abby’s cheeks would flush with a rosy hue, and she would quickly avert her gaze, a shy smile playing on her lips. Remo found her bashfulness endearing, and it only fueled his desire to be closer to her
"So what are you reading?" Remo asked, gesturing to her book.
Abby shrugged, "Just a guide to capture a man’s heart."
Remo’s eyebrows raised in amusement. "Hmmm, planning to capture any man’s heart?" he asked, his lips curling into a smirk, his eyes twinkling mischievously.
Abby chuckled softly, her laughter a melodic sound in the quiet of the car. "Maybe," she teased, her tone playful yet tinged with sincerity.
Remo leaned back in his seat, a grin spreading across his face. "Well, any man would be lucky to have his heart captured by you," he said, his voice gentle yet filled with admiration.
Abby’s cheeks flushed even deeper at his words, her heart fluttering in her chest. She glanced out the window, trying to hide the effect his compliment had on her. "Thanks," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper
