Chapter 274

Kevin’s sharp eyes stayed fixed on Norah, scrutinizing her every move.

Feeling the weight of his gaze, Norah’s heartbeat quickened. Trying to sound composed, she asked, “Are you done swimming? If you are, can I leave now?”

Kevin’s eyes darkened. “You’re not lying to me, are you?”

A thread of tension wrapped around Norah’s chest, suffocating her. Still, she met his intense stare and forced out a steady response. “No.”

Kevin’s frown deepened, but after a moment, he let go of her hand. His voice dropped to a warning tone. “You lied to me once. I won’t allow it a second time.”

Norah remained silent, her expression unreadable. Their relationship had already reached a point where truth or lies hardly mattered. She had to look out for herself, even if that meant deceiving him.
