章 263: Chapter 256. Say It Again (M)

Zein paused, turning around with slightly widened eyes, looking stunned and in a daze. It wasn't what Bassena expected. He had thought Zein would either look embarrassed or straight up denied it.

But the guide, leaning his hips against the kitchen island, was touching his abdomen. The blue eyes blinked slowly, staring into the empty air to digest that word. He traveled his hand upward, and stopped above his chest, pondering.

Zein knew about jealousy, he could tell when people acted jealous. After all, Bassena was coded with that trait. But Zein, who didn't care about people's thoughts before, who always became the one who was chased and courted before, had no idea what it felt like.
