Mr Bodyguard, Protect Your Heart!-Chapter 178: IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT? YOU LOOK OFF
In the moving car, Dove sat quietly beside the sleeping Gavi, whose head now she rested on her lap, so he could sleep more comfortably.
And by the looks of it, it was quite very evident that her mind was not at all present there. She looked outside through the window, her mind absent and eyes not focused anywhere particular.
Thorough the rear view mirror, Dante glanced at the woman sitting at the backseat, and his complicated expressions filled his face.
He pressed his lips together, looking at the absent minded Dove, and a surge of uncomfortable feeli9ngs filled his heart and mind.
His heart was actually clawing inside to know what had they been talking there. Observing that man, Noah, himself as well as the observation that his men had brought him, it was clear that, that man had some unsaid feelings for his Dove.
And being as man himself, Dante could see from a man’s perspective that Noah did not at all just see Dove has his little sister, but more like a woman.
And now that he had taken her away to talk to her privately, not involving him in whatever they were speaking about, because obviously it was not something related to work, Dante started feeling restless.
But for some reason, the tycoon Dante Lancaster was having weird feelings. For some reason he was hesistating. Was he feeling scared? Of Dove? For what she might think of he asked her about it? Would she be angry? Because looking at her, though she doesn’t very much look in a bad mood. But whatever it was, it was definitely not a good one.
Anyway, after contemplating after a whole couple of minute, Dante just decided to ask anyway. What was there to be scared anyway. They were now friends.
He cleared his throat quite audibly and looked at her reflection through the rear view mirror. And when he saw that he was still unable to capture her attention, Dante called her name softly, "Dove?"
Dove, who was deep in her thoughts, blinked out of it when she heard her name being called by him, and she looked at the driver’s seat, with a soft hum in question.
Their eyes met through the rear view mirror, and she found him giving her a soft smile and then heard him ask, "Is everything okay? You seem lost."
Dove was slightly surprised when she heard him say that, before her hands involuntarily reached up to touch her face. And then all of a sudden, it was as if all the thoughts that had been circling around her mind about what Noah had told her disappeared, and all she could see was the man in front of her and and the only thing in her mind was his words.
She continued staring at the mirror at his eyes for a little while, before she came back into her senses and shook her head. Then clearing her throat, Dove said, trying to sound very normal. "Uh, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about something. Nothing serious."
Hearing her answer, Dante’s eyebrows drew into a frown and he pressed his lips together. He wanted to know exactly what was that something. And though, he could feel that Dove seemed not want to share about it right now. And he also knew that pressing about it would come as him prying into her personal space. But then, there was this fire burning in his heart, that did not allow him tis heart to stay at peace. It was the fire of jealously. He wanted to know what had that man said to Dove?! Was he trying to do something in taking his relationship with Dove further? Has he already hinted about his feelings to Dove? Or worst, did he actually confess his feelings to him?!
And the more Dante thought about it, the worse he started to feel about it. He had not yet confessed his feelings yet, and there was no way he would allow anyone else to do that. He looked at Dove again, who was now more conscious that a while before, but still gazing outside the window. Dante pressed his lips bitterly once more, thinking if he should ask her about it again or not, knowing fully well, that it would appear as if he was invading her personal space .
But at the same time, another argument passed in his mind that, he and Dove did start having a very good friendship these days. And moreover, not many days ago, she herself had opened up about her relationship with her family members. So, it should not be that risky.
And now after contemplating for a few seconds more, Dante just said out, "What did Noah tell you? You look off because of that."
Dove, who had been staring out of window and supressing her urge to look at the rear view mirror, being very well aware of the stare of the person at the driver’s seat, looking at her and accessing her. And she was bit startled when she heard his voice! Dove would be honest, that she wanted to cry at this moment.
Here at one hand, she was trying her level best to keep her heart and mind away from thinking about Dante. And then the other second, something would happen, that would again attract her attention back to him. At this rate, how was she going to keep herself to follow what she had thought for herself. She looked back his questioning eyes, her lips pressed in a straight line.
This Dante! He was smart enough to understand that she did not want to tell him at the first time, isn’t it? And he was asking her the same question again?! Had he any idea that she almost spoke to him about it?! And Dove was not liking it a bit! Since, when did her resolute start getting so weak in front of someone?!
It wasn’t that, whatever happened in the parking area, and whatever Noah told her was something very important or confidential, that Dante could absolutely not know. But it is just that, she did not want to tell him!
