NovelEnglishChapter 190 Chapter 190: To Yvonne's surprise, Norton knelt beside her, silently assisting in gathering the scattered items.
"No need, I can handle it," Yvonne said, her tone calm and composed.
"I just didn't want you to feel embarrassed," Norton replied, his voice low but firm, carrying a hint of concern.

Mistakes were a part of life. But then, her eyes fell on the object Norton had picked up, and the reality of the situation struck her like a thunderclap.
Her heart jolted at the sight of a box of condoms, right there in the middle of a crowded store, and a wave of humiliation rushed over her. It was as if the universe had decided to play a cruel prank, Murphy's Law at its worst.
At first, Yvonne had mistaken it for a pack of gum, and the packaging was nearly identical. Without hesitation, she had bent down to retrieve it. But now, seeing the condoms in his hand, her cheeks burned with shame.
At that moment, it felt as though the floor had dissolved beneath her. She stood there, frozen, utterly unsure of how to proceed. The air around her grew thick with discomfort, and she scrambled to find a way out of the suffocating awkwardness that enveloped her.
"Miss, could you hurry up?" A tall, attractive man's voice, tinged with impatience, broke the stillness behind them.
Yvonne's face flushed with embarrassment, but she didn't let it show for long. Without a second thought, she hastily transferred the items into Norton's hands, her movements quick and purposeful.
"You... pick them up yourself," Yvonne mumbled, her cheeks burning. "I'll wait outside." Flustered, she hurried away, her heart racing as she made her escape.

In the car, they settled into the back seat, sitting close enough for their shoulders to almost touch. Still flustered by the earlier incident, Yvonne quickly scooted to the side, putting as much distance between them as possible.
"Why so far away?" Norton's voice, low and casual, broke the silence.
"It's a bit hot," Yvonne replied, avoiding his gaze.
Norton glanced at Leif, who was driving in the front seat. "Is it? Is it really that hot?" Sitting in the driver's seat, Leif replied with a hint of amusement, "Mr. Burke, it's quite cool up here. But I wouldn't know about the back." Norton nodded thoughtfully. "Well, it's a bit warm back here. Leif, could you crack the window a bit?”
Before Yvonne could protest or adjust her position further, Norton m swiftly reached out and pulled her closer without hesitation. Her breath hitched, but she said nothing, unsure how to respond to the sudden proximity.
Just then, the car jolted as Leif slammed on the brakes. Yvonnem bray Bled into caught off guard Norton's arms, her nose colliding with his chest.
The sudden impact made her wince. A sharp ache shot through her nose, but her mind couldn't help but notice the solid firmness of his chest, the muscle beneath the fabric.
