| sat on the couch, nearly jumping up in shock. “Jean! Shut op!”
Soren seemed momentarily stunned, his gaze shifting betweenand Jean. Then the corners of his lips lifted
slightly as he looked atand said, “Probably when she pulledout of the river.”
“Oh my god!” Jean's eyes widened, her face full of shock as she slowly turned toward me.
“Taylor! Did | just hear that right? You know what? | suddenly feel like Edward's your lucky charm! Any other man
would've would've probably married and had kids over the six years you were with him. There's no way you
landed Mr. Kenway otherwise!”
Soren stepped into the living room. As Jean continued to marvel, he turned to look at me. His deep gaze was
warm, his expression reserved yet... shy.
Yes, you read that right! Soren Kenway was shy-just a little!
To top it off, his face had even turned red, probably embarrassed by what Jean had said.
My ears buzzed, and my heart pounded as his words echoed in my mind.

When | pulled him out of the river... Hmm... | didn’t know how to respond for a while.
Wait... Did that mean he’s likedsince we were teenagers?! But what did we even know about love at that
age?!
Then again, “puppy love” usually started around that time
Moreover, teenage crushes were often the purest, most innocent, and unforgettable.
My thoughts scattered in a chaotic mess.
Then | remembered the hotpot dinner when he had confessed to having a crush on someone.
So... Could it have been me? Was | his crush all this time?
But | recalled him mentioning that he had been dating someone back then. It hadn't lasted long, and they had
broken up amicably.
Could it be... Could he have never truly loved that girl because his heart had always belonged to someone else?
Jean waved a hand in front of my face when she saw | wasn’t responding. “Hey! What are you zoning out for?”
After that, she turned to Soren, noticing that he seemed just as dazed.
The two of us locked eyes, silently communicating more than words ever could.
“Alright, alright, I'll stop being the third wheel. I'm outta here now that you've got someone looking after you.”
Jean bent down to grab her phone and bag, then headed for the door without looking back.
| snapped out of my daze and glanced toward the door. “You're leaving already?”
Jean was putting on her shoes when she glanced atand playfully huffed. “I'm surprised you still think of me
as your friend. What, you wantto stick around and watch you two flirt?”
“What?! We're just friends...” | stole a glance at Soren and quickly looked away, feeling flustered.
Jean snorted. “Ugh, stop pretending.”
With that, she opened the door and tossed out a final remark. “I'm off! Take care of yourself!”

“You're right,” Soren replied with a nod.
He took a step forward and reached out to steady me. “Are you feeling any better today?”
“Much better. | can walk slowly on my own...” | quickly clarified, worried he might try to carryagain.
He held my arm for support and glanced around the room. “Do you need to bring anything else? Do you phone?”
“I've got it right here...”
| could tell he felt a bit awkward too, trying to find something to talk about.
