The dinner party at Professor Edwin Shaw’s table was elegant, warm, and filled with the chatter of his most valued students. Autumn smiled brightly when she walked in, her voice carrying a practiced cheerfulness as she greeted a familiar face. “Hello, Senior Sinclair.”
Edwin glanced between her and the man beside him – Keith Sinclair. “You two know each other?”
“We’ve known each other for a few years,” Keith said smoothly.
Autumn froze. Her heart stuttered. She quickly added, “Never met.”
But her words were too late. Keith’s eyes locked onto hers with quiet scrutiny, a knowing glint in his gaze. He tilted his head slightly, as if to say, *What a heartless girl. Didn’t you recognize me?*
The room fell into a curious silence. Everyone’s gaze flicked back and forth, trying to decipher the truth. Autumn twisted the hem of her blouse, forcing herself to stay calm. “I asked him a few questions years ago. I didn’t know he was one of Mr. Shaw’s students until today.”
It was the truth. Back then, she knew nothing about him – his wealth, his family, his name. He had always brushed off her questions with ease. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon a news article that she realized Keith was the heir of the Sinclair family. A man who had never once revealed his identity to her.
Edwin, sensing the awkwardness, lifted his wine glass with a warm smile. “You’re all students I value most. It’s rare for everyone to gather like this, so eat, drink, and enjoy yourselves.”
The group stood and raised their glasses. “Thank you, Mr. Shaw.”
But when Autumn lifted her own glass – filled with red wine – Keith’s eyes narrowed. “Your stomach isn’t well. Switch it.”
His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. The whole table froze. How did Keith know about her stomach? What kind of relationship was this?
Autumn forced a smile. “It’s alright, it’s just red wine. Since everyone’s celebrating, I’ll just have one glass.”
Keith reached out, took the glass from her hand, and set it down. His face darkened. “Trying to shorten your life, is that it?” Without another word, he poured her a glass of juice.
Autumn accepted it, her fingers trembling slightly. She dared not meet his eyes.
Then Ethan spoke up, his voice apologetic. “Autumn, I’m sorry. I forgot you were hospitalized a few days ago for stomach pain. I really shouldn’t have let you drink.”
Edwin’s brow furrowed with concern. “I heard too. You were supposed to attend the seminar but missed it because you weren’t feeling well. How did it get so bad you had to be hospitalized?”
Autumn smiled gently. “Sorry to make you worry, Mr. Shaw. I’m fine now.”
But when she turned her head, she met Keith’s deep, unreadable gaze. He looked at her as if he could see through every mask she wore – as if he knew she’d pretend, and yet he watched her anyway. That feeling was deeply unsettling.
Halfway through the meal, a familiar ache crept into Autumn’s stomach. She excused herself and slipped away to the restroom. Leaning over the sink, she dry-heaved, but nothing came out. When the worst passed, she stepped out into the hallway.
And there he was. Keith, just coming out of the men’s room. His face was dark with worry. “You were in that state and still wanted to drink?”
Autumn looked up, her lips parting to argue – but the words stuck. He was only looking out for her. To argue would only make her seem ungrateful.
“Did you bring your medication?” he asked.
“I did.” She nodded and rummaged through her bag, pulling out the pill bottle.
As they walked together back toward the hall, Keith asked a server for a glass of warm water. He handed it to her. “Take your medicine.”
Autumn took the water, dropped a pill into her mouth, and swallowed. The bitterness spread instantly. She frowned and finished the entire glass in one go.
Keith’s low voice came from above her, steady and unyielding. “From now on, no more alcohol. Not even a sip.”
She didn’t dare to look up, didn’t dare to disagree. She simply nodded, her heart a messy tangle of old feelings and silent gratitude.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a masterclass in tension – every glance, every word between Autumn and Keith carries a weight that speaks louder than any argument. The quiet way he cares for her, the way he remembers her stomach problems, the way he steps in without hesitation – it’s both heartwarming and heartbreaking, because we know she’s still keeping her distance. The dinner scene is beautifully awkward, and Keith’s protectiveness makes you ache for what might have been.
⭐ **Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I suspect Keith won’t let this slide. He knows Autumn is hiding something – her health, her feelings, the truth behind their history. Next chapter, we might see him corner her for a real conversation, or maybe Edwin will accidentally uncover more clues. Either way, the mask Autumn wears is starting to crack.
