The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1384

Byran was fuming, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Chase patted him on the shoulder, led him to the other side of the room, and handed him a bottle of mineral water. "Chill out, man. Don't do anything stupid. If you charge over now, you're just gonna come off as rude to Ida. Wouldn't you be shooting yourself in the foot if she gets pissed and gives you the cold shoulder?"

Byran knew Chase was right, but he was seriously pissed, and it was hard to hold back.

Chase tried to calm him down again. "Just hear me out. Maybe in a bit, you can swoop in like a knight in shining armor and show off your heroics."

A knight in shining armor? Byran was a bit puzzled by what Chase meant, but he decided to play it cool for now. He took the water, twisted off the cap, and chugged half the bottle, trying to douse his inner fire. But his eyes remained fixated on Ida.

The man next to Ida was dressed in a sharp suit and had a mature demeanor. Although he was not particularly handsome, he had a reserved air and good taste in clothing that could certainly turn heads.

"Ida, you've changed quite a bit since we last met." The man said casually as he swirled his drink while eyeing Ida.

Ida gave him a small smile. "Oh? What do you think has changed?"

He took a moment to appraise her. "Hmm... You've become more attractive, more mature, more mysterious."

Ida adjusted her glasses as a habit. "And you've become more stable and learned to be romantic."

The man laughed with a hint of bitterness in his voice. "I was young and reckless back then, without a penny to my name. I wasn't a good boyfriend. I'm sorry."
