Don’t you want to hear what is written in the book?
Francisco asked, his tone both commanding and playful.
Their eyes met at a shared glance, and slowly, Hazel nodded in reluctant agreement.
Hazel found herself sitting on Francisco's lap, his arm wrapped around her waist while the other held the book. As he began to read the dialogues from the book, his deep, seductive voice took on the persona of the male lead, and Hazel listened attentively, captivated by the story.
Francisco explained the meanings of the Italian phrases, his voice carrying a weight that seemed to resonate with the male character of the tale.
Hazel, feigning intense interest, leaned on him, seemingly engrossed in his reading.
In truth, her motive was to win his trust. Hazel was well-versed in Italian and proficient in several languages, including reading, writing, and speaking.
The claim of not understanding Italian was a deliberate lie, a strategic move to bring her closer to Francisco.
