Chapter 110 All I Have to Say
Alexander said, “Patricia’s my mother’s friend. She’s a good cook, and I come over sometimes to have lunch. You should try her dishes.”
Elise nodded. “Sure. Any recommendation from you can’t be bad.”
Alexander arched his eyebrow and chuckled. “Don’t blame me if you don’t like it though.”
Okay?
The food was served a short while later, and Elise quickly dug into the tantalizing food. Once she had a bite, her eyes lit up. “Not bad.”
Alexander filled her plate up with some fish. “Here. The fish is nice too.”
Elise started wolfing down her food. She was starving, and the food was too delicious to be passed up on. Alexander kept filling her plate up, and he looked delighted seeing her eating so happily.
Patricia could see that the couple would be happy with some more alone time, so she served a big bowl of soup. “Here’s one of our signature dishes. Have a taste.”
Alexander took the ladle. “I’ll do it.”
Patricia handed the ladle over to him. “And I thought Alexander would grow up to be an uncaring man. Seems like I was wrong.”
Elise looked at Alexander. At the same time, he was handing her a bowl of soup. She immediately said, “It’s fine. I can do it myself.”
Alexander didn’t let her. Instead, he put the bowl down in front of Elise. “Just dig in.”
Patricia smiled. “Enjoy your meal. Call me if you need anything.”
Elise thanked her.
Alexander sent her back to school after lunch. Even though Elise kept taking days off, her teacher never scolded her. Ridden by guilt, she knew she had to work twice as hard to repay their kindness. And so, she decided to start working on a past-year exam paper.
“Elise, someone wants to see you.”
Elise put her pen down. She wondered who wanted to see her, and she went to find out the answer. When she came out and saw Matthew standing at the end of the corridor, her face fell. I was planning to look for him too. Good. Now I can get this over with. She went over and asked coldly, “Are you looking for me?”
Matthew turned around. “We need to talk.”
