Chapter 529
“Why are you staring at me?” Jace replied, “You look pretty.” Sage fell silent. She quietly thought to herself, “I know I’m good-looking. Isn’t that obvious?” “Stop staring. I can’t eat with you staring like that.” Sage’s tone was stiff.
“Oh.” Jace closed his eyes and promised, “I’ll stop staring.”
Sage became speechless. Why was Jace being so silly?
She ignored him and continued eating.
The room stayed silent for a moment until someone’s tummy suddenly growled a little.
Sage’s actions stopped upon hearing the abrupt noises. She looked up suddenly, glancing from Jace’s stomach to his face.
Jace did not expect his stomach to growl that loudly and so his face flushed a little. “You haven’t eaten?” Sage asked in surprise. Jace stiffened. “Not yet.” He managed a smile, paused a little, then explained, “It was already noon when I rushed home from the museum. I was afraid that you were hungry, so I rushed over with the food. You can eat first. I’m not hungry yet. I’ll eat later.”
Sage wrinkled her brows. His stomach was already growling. How was he not hungry? She pulled open the drawer and took out the disposable cutleries for him. She gave it to Jace and said, “Let’s eat together.” Jace grabbed the cutleries and looked at Sage in disbelief. “Eat together, huh?” Sage could not stand looking at him acting so cautiously around her. It was as if he owed her something. She said faintly, “I can’t finish the food alone anyway.” It was rare for her to be willing to do something with him. Jace did not refuse either. He opened the new disposable cutleries and picked up some meat for her with his clean cutleries. “Eat more meat. It’s good for your growth. You’re too thin.”
Sage was not used to his attentiveness. “Just eat your food.”
