From The Corner Of His Eye Mga Nobela at Kwento

He opened his mouth. From the corner of my eye, I could see Ronan. He had not moved from his position near the entrance. He was watching both of us with an expression I could not fully read from where I stood. Something careful. Something that was not a surprise. His arms were crossed at his chest, and he was waiting for something, and from the look on his face, he already knew what it was going to be.

I could hear my own breathing, slightly heavier than before. That was when I caught the movement from the corner of my eye. Joe. He hadn’t left fully. He was standing near the entrance to the locker area, half-hidden by the row of lockers. He saw it. The hand on my face. Me not stopping it. The close distance. Everything. His expression shifted fast. Jaw locked. Eyes narrowed. He didn’t say a word. Just watched for a second longer, then turned and walked out. The door shut behind him with a heavy click.

He keeps his eyes on mine. And then, one corner of his mouth lifts. Just enough for me to catch it. ---

His lірѕ рullеd uр аt thе соrnеrѕ аt thе lооk сrоѕѕіng mу face. “I thіnk уоu’rе gеttіng уоur іnѕесtѕ mіxеd uр, Joel.” I сhuсklеd but then noticed thе mischievous glіnt іn his еуеѕ.

He slipped one hand into his pocket, the corner of his lips lifting slightly. Interesting.

He eyed me from the corner of his eye. "You have a reason...you just refuse to admit it" "Then you'll never know" he shook his head with a smile. "I'll look into her" I shrugged. "Let me know what you find out"

I steady myself, swallowing hard, keeping my emotions locked tight where they can’t spill over. From the corner of my eye, I catch him watching. His expression is unreadable, and a frown tugs at his mouth. Almost as if he's displeased with what he's witnessing.

Alex says. But in the corner of my eyes I saw someone. He can’t be the one behind this can he? And I feel like our eyes meet for a seconds.

Amid the conversation, a female in the restaurant giggled, and that sound seemed to catch his attention, drawing his gaze across the room. His eyes met the gaze of a lady nearby, and he winked at her, a playful gesture accompanied by a knowing smile. "Just relax, I'm being subtle. She won't see it coming," he assured the caller, a smirk playing on his lips. But before his conversation could continue further, the sound of Nora's voice sliced through the air, her tone laden with curiosity and a touch of impatience. Alexander's attention snapped back to the present, his focus returning to the reality in front of him.
