He was consumed by a burning desire for her, so intense that even taking a cold shower couldn’t bring him any peace. And all it took was a single glimpse of her legs.
That alone made one thing clear he must have been attracted to Shermaine for a long time, though he’d never realized what those feelings truly meant, having never experienced love belote
No wonder a proud main like him would willingly follow her instructions, take off her shoes for her, and even drink her yogurt. Outwardly, he might pretend to resist, but deep down, he simply couldn’t say no to her.
Now, seeing Shermaine chat with Henry and completely ignore him, he felt a surge of jealousy. All he wanted was to pull her back to his side and be only one reflected in her eyes.
Joshua gripped his wine glass, his eyes behind the glasses sharp and predatory–like a beast awakened, locking onto its prey.
“Shermaine is mine, he thought fiercely.
His heart hammered wildly in his chest.
Joshua set down his glass and seized Shermaine’s hand firmly
Shermaine instinctively turned her head.
In the dead of winter, her fingers were icy cold, but his burned with heat.

more intense
She took his pulse, but it was steady, showing no signs of any physical problem. Still, his racing heartbeat couldn’t be explained by alcohol alone.

Shermaine asked, “Are you feeling very dizzy?

Shermaine said methodically, “For brain or organ issues, proper medical tests are the most reliable way to find out what’s really wrong with so I can accurately diagnose and treat you.”
Joshua nodded, gradually calming his racing heartbeat under his own control. He let out a breath and murmured, “Seems I’m fine now.”
“I can tell” His heartbeat was gradually stabilizing. Shermaine asked, “Still dizzy?”
Joshua gave a slight nod. “Yeah, a bit,” he said softly.
Shermaine finally relaxed. But still, she reminded him, “You should get a full check–up tomorrow, just to be safe”
Joshua smiled gently, “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
Seeing that he was still holding a glass of wine, Shermaine said gently, “Better stay away from this.” She wasn’t sure what was wrong with his health, so until they figured it out, it was best for him to avoid alcohol completely
Joshua hummed in agreement and set down his wine glass. Still holding onto Shermaine’s hand, he murmured, “Why are your hands so cold?”
