Chapter 469-A Treasure We spent the afternoon openly sharing our thoughts, turning it into a ranting session. After a while, we smiled at each other knowingly.
As it was getting late, Atlas called, saying he would pick me up for dinner.
I excused myself, and coincidentally, Jared returned to the ward at the same time.
When I got downstairs, Atlas was waiting. Amidst the crowd, he always stood out, shining like a star.
Seeing me, the cold demeanor on his handsome face immediately softened, and he extended his hand to me.
“Tired?” “Definitely hungry.” I replied with a coy smile.
“Then let’s feed you quickly.” He : smiled warmly. “And later, you’ll have the energy to feed me too.” I was about to explode at his suggestive remark. This man and his constant innuendos.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt He playfully pulled me into his arms and we got into his car. His entourage took my car back home.
As soon as we sat down at the restaurant, someone approached.
When I looked up, I met a pair of gloomy eyes, none other than that of Harmony. It was ironic how in this small city, you could always bump into people you wanted to avoid the most.
Some people and situations were just like that. The more you wanted to distance yourself, the less you could.
I couldn’t help but curse silently.
Foswood truly was small; you could run into unwanted encounters everywhere.
Harmony shot me a fierce glare before turning to Atlas, instantly plastering a smile on her face. Softly, she said, “Atlas… When did you come back? I didn’t know.” Atlas glanced at her indifferently.
“Since when do I need to report my schedule to you, Ms. Harmony?” I couldn’t help but chuckle and sigh.
As the dishes arrived, Atlas took the steak the waiter brought and elegantly cut it into smaller pieces before placing it in front of me. “You just focus on eating.” Watching him do all this for me, I felt a sense of deja vu. He had done something similar for me a long time ago, or so it seemed, but how was that possible? We hadn’t known each other for that long, all things considered.
We had eaten a few meals together, seldom steaks, but whenever we did, he did precisely that.
”T always feel like we’ve known each other in another life.” I smiled at him.
“”No one knows why I don’t like eating steak is because I can’t cut it.” €9 “You don’t know how to cut a steak.
You don’t like to peel oranges. You like to add vinegar to your noodles. Am | | right?” He casually listed my habits as | if reciting them from memory.
[ looked at him in surprise, slightly unsettled. “How did you know?” It could be possible for him to know I didn’t like cutting steaks, but no one knew my secret, which was that I disliked peeling oranges.
He looked at me with a calm expression. “Girls tend to dislike it. It’s just a guess.” I immediately relaxed. Then I gave him a playful smile. “Ah, I see. Have you seen many girls like this? Or is it…
Annalise… Oh, no, is the real Stella like this?” His hand froze slightly, then he looked at me with a gentle expression. There was a hidden smile in his eyes that was difficult to decipher its meaning.
