Chapter 20

A slight tremor could be detected in Yana’s voice as she responded, "I’m not really comfortable going out with... a group of boys."

Trying to reassure her, Ace stepped closer and gently grasped both of her hands, locking eyes with her. "Don’t worry, just be yourself and enjoy our company," he reassured her, a sweet smile crossing his face.

Ray, playfully interrupting their moment, jokingly added, "Hey, man, stop flirting with her! Her husband might get jealous." All eyes turned towards John, including Yana’s.

Coldly, John responded, "As if I will."

Loading themselves into the van, Ray took his place at the driver’s seat, with Mark by his side. Since the front seat could only accommodate two people, Drake and Lucas occupied those spots. In the backseat, Yana found herself sandwiched between Ace and John. Sitting on her left side, John was distant, while Ace sat on her right, next to the window as he had requested.
