Tatiana instantly sobered up when Sean hugged her. Her entire face and neck blushed from the exchange
between them.
“Ms. Tatiana, look out,” Sean warned. He thought she was drunk from the way she failed to steady herself.
Concerned, he pulled her closer with his hand on her waist.
All of a sudden, his heart skipped a beat, and his throat went dry. He couldn’t help but admire Tatiana’s
tiny waist in his grip.
Still, as a gentleman, he quickly pulled himself together without betraying any hint of desire.
“Sean, please send Taty back. Thanks!” Alyssa yelled.
She had always been observant, but she was much more relaxed and careless around family. Up until
then, she failed to pick up the subtle tension between Sean and Tatiana.
She waved at them and left, arm-in-arm with Jonah. It was only Tatiana and Sean alone after that. The air
between them froze, leaving them rather flustered.
“Um, Lyse! Lyse!” Tatiana called out feebly, her heart pumping wild.
Sean reassured her with a straight face and a gentle tone, “Don’t worry, Ms. Tatiana. I promised Ms.
Alyssa I’ll send you back to campus.”
“I-It’s okay! I just had a few sips. I’m not that drunk,” she insisted. Staring at her feet, she gently pushed
him away to prove she wasn’t drunk.
Despite that, Sean held her again out of concern. “Look at you saying that you’re not drunk! Do you
remember what happened when you said the same thing last time-”
Both of them were startled at his words. They were reminded of their light k*ss on that night that started it
all.
He stared blankly at her rosy cheeks. His heart was beating fast, and his ch*st swelled with some
inexplicable emotions.
“S-Sean, I had too much to drink the last time. I’m… I’m sorry…” Tatiana muttered an apology with a frantic and guilty look.
Any woman with a little courage would have taken the chance to confess her love.
However, Tatiana was a copy of Lyla-timid and unsure of herself. Despite sharing a k*ss with a kind man

She believed that Sean was Alyssa’s, and she wouldn’t want to get involved with Alyssa’s man.
“Ms. Tatiana,” Sean gulped and cautiously prodded. “Was that… your first k*ss?”
“Oh, it’s fine, Sean. I had too much to drink. Please don’t overthink it.” Tatiana forced a smile.
The guilt hit Sean like a train. “Was it really… your first?”
He stumbled a few steps back and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, Ms. Tatiana! I was wrong and
unprofessional. How can I ever make amends?”
Her heart froze. She was tortured by her crush, who had no other feelings except for guilt and reverence
toward her.
“It’s really okay, Sean,” she replied after taking a deep breath to stop her tears from falling. She helped him
- “Be extra nice to Lyse If you really want to make it up to me.”
