Phoebe stood up from the chair, walked up to Ivana Bennett, and extended a hand to her.
Ivana Bennett set down her cup, ignored him, and stood upright on her own.
Phoebe reached out his hand and grabbed her arm.
"Let go!"
Ivana Bennett said in a low voice.
Phoebe's gaze fell on the beautiful ruby bracelet on her right wrist. The bracelet suited her perfectly, the fit was just right, and the exquisite ruby hung right by the joint where her wrist bone protruded, making her arm look even more fair and delicate.
"From this day on, you have to get used to it, because the person who will accompany you from now on is me, not Lucas Walker."
"I'll say it again, let go!"
Phoebe gently tugged her and pulled her into his embrace.
"I won't let go!"
Ivana Bennett frowned and lifted her face to meet his pink eyes as his arm stretched over to hold her shoulder, and his face slowly moved closer to hers.
She took a deep breath, facing his pink eyes, slightly gritting her teeth.
