Since Gideon Sheffield returned to the country and cleared up what happened five years ago with Natalie Vaughn, Zane Thorne has been smiling noticeably more.
He already had handsome features and a strong facial structure, and when he smiled, it was like the sky clearing after rain or willows budding in spring, naturally drawing people's gaze to the smile at his lips, making it hard to look away. By the time you reacted, you were already staring in a daze, and your lips would unconsciously curve up too.
This was exactly what happened to Natalie Vaughn. These past few days at Dragon's Crest Villa with Zane Thorne, she would often become mesmerized just by watching Zane's smile, resting her chin in her hands and tilting her head slightly, looking like a total... Oh, wait, a fangirl's expression.
Each time Zane Thorne saw her like this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Do you really like watching me smile that much?"
Natalie Vaughn nodded without hesitation.
