The couple finished their lunch, with Kalix resuming his work while Winter, as usual, passed the time doing nothing. But then, suddenly, her phone rang, and her brows furrowed at the sight of Lilac's name flashing on the screen.
Without wasting a second, she quickly answered the call. "Hello," Winter kept her tone low and calm, making sure not to disturb Kalix. However, to her dismay, he shot her a curious glance before turning back to his laptop.
"You won't believe what happened to me, sister-in-law!" Lilac's voice burst through the speaker, so loud that Winter almost flinched.
The hyperactive and overly dramatic Lilac was at it again. Winter couldn't help but wonder what had happened this time to leave her so shocked.
She felt Kalix steal another glance at her, his intense gaze picking up on the subtle shift in her expression. He was like a camera, constantly focused on her, making her feel oddly exposed.
