“Hand it over Tina demanded, reaching out to Aria.
Aria tightened her grip. “No”
Tina gaped at her in disbelief.
“Don’t think I won’t spread rumors that your two are dating!” Tina threatened.
Aria replied nonchalantly. “Go ahead. It’s not even real anyway”
“You….” Tina ignored Aria’s explanation, almost swearing.
She bit back the curse that almost slipped out and studied Owen intently.
Just then, a breeze pressed his shirt against his body, revealing the well–defined contours of his abdomen.
‘Not bad, she thought, sizing him up.
Her gaze drifted upward, landing on his slightly prominent Adam’s apple
People said that men with big Adam’s apples were more masculine.
She clicked her tongue, a little envious. This girl really lucked out.
Tina’s unabashed stare was so intense that Owen immediately noticed, his brows knitting in discomfort.
Aria thought to herself how ridiculous this was, then stepped in front of Roxanne. “Stop staring people. It’s disrespectful.”
“Haha! Now you’re protecting him? What a petty little thing.”
A smile tugged at the corners of Owen’s lips.
Tina glanced at her supposed boyfriend and felt even more annoyed.
He was not even on TV, yet he wore makeup and cologne.
No wonder she couldn’t fall for him after weeks of dating. It felt just like dating a woman.
Thinking about what Aria said only made her angrier.
Aher tonight’s test, she was dumping him for sure.
Tina’s gaze lingered on the roasted chestnuts in Ania’s hand.
Aher being tricked out of her chestnuts, she went back to buy more, only to find the store about to close and not a single pack left.
But she didn’t dwell on it. She would just have her assistant get them…
“Since we’ve run into each other, let’s have dinner,” Tina suggested, trying to sound casual
Even if Aria refused to acknowledge the Saxon family, it didn’t change the fact that they were still cousins by blood.
“It’s my birthday today… and you’re the only family I have let in Kanit City Tina added quietly.
Arla shook her head with a smile. “No thanks, I’d rather not be the third wheel.”

Tina pursed her lips and said, “Just bring Owen along. It’s not like I’m not treating.”
Aria said, “I need to get these roasted chestnuts to Vanessa before they get cold and lose their flavor
Tina ground her teeth. So she snatched my chestnuts just to give them to Vanessal Seriously?”
Tina said, “I’ll ask someone to deliver it to you, and it’s been quite a while. It must be cold by now.”
It would’ve been better to just give it to her right away.
Willie stepped forward and said, “It must be fate running lido each other in a big city like Kanit. Since we’re all here, why don’t we celebrate Timor’s birthday together? I’ve already made a reservations. Mr. Shaw, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?”
Only then did Aria realize that Owen had come all the way from Mandino City and probably hadn’t had time to eat yet.
Owen said solity, “I do as she says.”
Tina was speechless at their public display of affection and snapped, “Let’s go, then.”
Willie hurried after her, reaching out to grab Tina’s hand. Tina recoiled in disgust and yanked her hand away without hesitation.
Aria frowned as she watched the scene unfold. Did Tina not believe what she had said?
Owen’s clear, gentle voice drifted down from above. “Are you coming with us?”
Aria paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah, I’ll go.” After all, no one turned down a free meal.
Besides, there was something she needed to figure out tonight.
Seeing that Aria and Owen hadn’t caught up, Tina slowed her pace, a flicker of unease in her chest–though her pride forbade her from asking again.
Only
when she glimpsed them out of the comer of her eye did she feel secretly relieved, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
Aria reminded, “Don’t forget to order delivery”
Tina’s smile vanished instantly. Through gritted teeth, she snapped, “Finel
