Tenderness Occupies His HeartChapter 1

On my 20th birthday, I confessed my feelings to Thomas, who is ten years older than me, while tipsy and full of joy.

"Thomas, I like you."

I only received a cold response, "Nina, don't joke like that."

Later, I introduced my new boyfriend to him while leaning on another man's arm.

For the first time, I saw rare panic in Thomas's eyes.

He pinned me against the door, his voice low and husky, "Break up with him. Right now."

Tonight was my 20th birthday, and my family had organized a grand birthday party for me.

They invited all our relatives and friends from Emeraldia, as well as various influential figures.

I decided to confess to the person I had liked for a long time tonight.

Once everything was in place, I quietly snuck into Thomas's room.

After a few drinks, the bustle downstairs gradually faded.

Soon, a sliver of light came through the door.

Thomas had seemingly drunk quite a bit. Under the influence of alcohol, his features appeared even more handsome, his well-defined abs faintly visible under his white shirt, stirring my imagination.

When he saw me, his brows furrowed slightly, "Nina?"

His deep, slow voice sent a shiver down my spine.
