Chapter 33: Cravings and Kisses

Irene glanced at the clock, noting it was nearly time for dinner.

"Keith, dinner is ready. Did you finish your work?" she called out from the hallway.

Silence greeted her. Concerned, she walked into the study and found Keith slumped over his desk, fast asleep.

A soft smile tugged at her lips. He must have been exhausted from his workload.

Irene gently shook his shoulder. "Keith, wake up," she said softly. He hummed but didn't fully rouse.

She carefully picked him up, cradling him against her chest, and carried him to their bedroom. Placing him on the bed, she whispered, "Dear, wake up, eat, then sleep."

Keith slowly opened his eyes, sluggishly getting up and heading to the dinner table.

He ate quietly, his movements almost mechanical, and then returned to bed, falling into a deep sleep almost immediately.

Irene watched him, mumbling to herself, "He's so sleepy these days."

After tidying up, she joined him, wrapping her arms around him as they both drifted into slumber.

A few days later, Nathan spotted his best friend Irene inside a jewelry store.

His curiosity piqued, he entered the store and saw her examining rings with a serious expression.

A devilish smile spread across his face as he poked Irene on the arm.

"Are you planning to propose to Keith?" he teased.

Irene blushed slightly, a shy smile playing on her lips. "Maybe," she admitted.

Nathan's eyes lit up with excitement. "Want any help?"

Irene nodded, grateful for his offer. "Yes, that would be great."

They left the jewelry store and Nathan dragged her to various boutiques, insisting she help him choose outfits.

He tried on several clothes, while Irene stood by, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the shopping spree.

As she stood there, she felt a pair of eyes boring into her. She turned to see an Alpha woman approaching, glaring fiercely.

The woman stopped in front of Irene, her gaze intense. " What is your relationship with Nathan? Why are you shopping with him?" she demanded.

Irene raised an eyebrow, maintaining her calm demeanor. "Why would I tell you? Do I know you?"

The woman's anger flared, and she released her pheromones in an attempt to dominate Irene.

But Irene stood her ground, unaffected. "It's a public place. Don't you think this is inappropriate?" Irene remarked coolly.

Nathan, sensing the familiar pheromones, rushed outside. She saw Evelyn confronting Irene.

Nathan burst into the tense scene, grabbing Evelyn's arm to prevent her from doing anything rash. "Eve, what the heck are you doing?" he demanded, his voice sharp.

Evelyn's eyes blazed with anger. "Is that your new Girlfriend? I've seen you with her several times," she accused.

"What the heck are you saying?" Nathan slapped her arm, his own anger flaring. "That's my friend Irene."
