Vera saw that while Nathaniel Nathan was still maintaining his poker face, the frostiness in his eyes had vanished. Based on what she knew about him since her rebirth, she could tell he was actually in a very good mood.
His good mood meant he was satisfied with how she had just handled things.
So, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, she linked her arm through his and asked, "So, how did I do back there?"
Nathaniel Nathan looked at her lovely, fair face, meeting her sparkling gaze. He glanced down at her arm linked with his and found this side of her absolutely adorable, as if she weren't the same person who had been setting him up just moments before.
He tried to keep his expression stern, but a smile he couldn't suppress tugged at the corners of his lips. Then, in a deliberately nonchalant tone, he said, "It was just okay. Plenty of room for improvement."
Vera pouted. 'Could he be any more contrary?'
