My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 1137

Chapter 1137 Everett, who was beneath Ninian, protected her with his fit body

"Ev- Ah!"

As she was about to speak, Everett pressed her head against his neck.

He then said in a low voice, "Wait, they're out there."

Ninian stayed still.

She was blushing so hard that her face turned bright red.

'Does he know how dubious they both look right now?'

She pressed her lips against his neck, feeling the cold skin.

She felt his pulse thumping next to her, making her heart beat rapidly.

Everett's body tensed up and became vigilant.

Even so, Ninian knew that though he looked indifferent on the outside, his warm breath and beating heart were reassuring

They heard cluttered footsteps and voices of people talking from the busy street a distance from them.

And here they were, on top of each other, panting,

surrounded by green trees and grass.

Their breaths gradually became ambiguous.

Ninian could feel Everett was once again focused on her. His touch was warm, as he did not dare to exert any more force on the hand he was using to press her head against his neck. The two remained still, listening to the noises around them as they felt their surroundings getting warmer. "Ni-" Everett's voice was hoarse and restrained. "Ninian ... get up." Ninian refused to move.

She was also a willful person. And at that moment, she did not want to get up.

His chest was warm, giving her a sense of security, making her reluctant to leave him.

'I just want to cling onto him for the rest of her life.'

Up until this point, she finally realized the kind of affection she had for Everett.

'I finally realized why I've been keeping an eye on him so closely, why I felt happy whenever he approached me, why I felt sad whenever he was away, and why I had the urge to kiss him when I saw him earlier.

'Turns out, I had fallen for him unknowingly.

And he didn't reject me. Otherwise, why would he show up from miles away to save me? "Everett..." Ninian said,

She leaned in and pressed her lips against the side of his neck and kissed it.

Everett did not dare to move. He held his breath and his heart was pounding rapidly.

She raised her head and looked at him.

The dim streetlamp cast shadows on his face, making it hard for her to see his expression.

But she could feel the tension from his fiery gaze, which was focused on her.

Her heart was pounding violently as she felt flustered. "Everett..." She looked into his eyes and said, "I like you

His pupils dilated.

In an instant, the world fell silent.

His emotions struggled to break free of the shackles and seals he had painstakingly placed around them. They shattered like glass at that moment. He could feel the other half of him; the horrifying, paranoid side of him, trying to break free and take over his body.

He wanted to embrace her in his arms and swallow her whole.

His pupil constricted as he tried to fight an inner battle.

Yet, Ninian looked at him tenderly and said, "You don't need to be accountable for my feelings. It's mine alone. I won't bother you with it. I'll...”

Before she could finish her sentence, he lowered his gaze and looked at her.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and got on top of her. While Ninian was still in shock, he kissed her passionately.
