Surging Emotions

"Ah!"

The loud scream echoed throughout the restaurant.

The hot water would soon fall on Alexander's and Sophia's heads.

Sophia's mind went blank at that point. She subconsciously pushed Alexander away.

Then she turned around nimbly to avoid the hot water.

Alexander's heart skipped a beat when Sophia pushed him away.

He rushed over to Sophia and asked, "Are you okay?"

Alexander anxiously examined her entire body. His hands trembled slightly as he held her.

Sophia was still in disbelief. She suddenly remembered Liam's face as she looked at Alexander who rarely got agitated.

Absent-mindedly, she extended her hand to cover the lower half of Alexander's face.

Her heart jolted.

Alexander's eyes looked exactly like Liam's.

Sophia stared at Alexander, lost in thought.

Alexander frowned and took Sophia's hand in his. "What's the matter? Did it scare the hell out of you?"

"No!"
