Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 109

The snow in Araria City that had been on for three days finally stopped.

It was chilling on snow-melting days but there was still sunlight.

Edward flew to Araria City from North City on the night of the fifth. The doorbell rang and Starry thought the flower delivery guy changed the time to night.

She checked the security camera on her phone and found that it was Edward who came back.

Tomorrow was Jan. 6 so Starry knew why Edward came back today.

She went downstairs, Edward was standing in front of the front door with a suitcase and her eyes got wider when she saw Starry, "Starry."

Starry smiled at him, "Aren't you cold? You are wearing too little."

"Not at all. I'm a young man."

It was more chilling at night and Edward was wearing pants, a cotton-padded jacket, and a black turtleneck.

He surely was young but it must be cold wearing so little.

Starry turned around and went to get two cups of hot coffee from inside, one was for him and one was for herself.

It was quite bright in the living room and Edward's hands were red due to the coldness.

Starry took a look at his hands, "Your hands are freezing."

He took his hands back in embarrassment, "I left my coat in the cab."

He felt it was too warm in the cab so he took it off soon after he got in the cab.

He didn't feel cold until over ten seconds after he got off the car and that was when he realized he left his coat on it.

But the cab was already gone and he wouldn't chase it.

"That's why."

Starry replied, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"No."

Hearing this, she put down the cup, "I'll go make you some spaghetti."

"Thank you!"

Starry took a look at him and then walked into the kitchen.

Edward had half cup of coffee and then he noticed the blue enchantress in the vase near the TV and frowned.

He stood up and walked towards the kitchen. And he saw another vase with blue enchantresses in it at the dining table when he walked past by it.

He stood in front of the kitchen and asked casually while leaning against the door, "Starry, those are nice. You like it? I can get you some."

Starry was dicing but then she washed her hands and wiped them with a tissue when she heard what he said. She took a glance at him, "They are beautiful, but not a keeper. Never mind."

Hearing her words, Edward knew those were from someone else. He bit the cup and lowered his head emotionally. When he raised his head, that look changed, "Starry, is Hamish still bothering you?"

Starry threw away the tissue and looked at him, "No. Did he talk to you?"

"Well, no."

They weren't from Hamish, then who else?

Edward stopped asking, went back to the couch, and opened his suitcase, "Starry, I got presents for you!"

Starry was drinking coffee leaning at the bar, "Don't you remember what I said last time?"

She didn't need anything.

Edward knew she was going to say this, "It didn't cost me a penny. I just thought it was fun."

Then he passed the box to her.

She took this unpacked box over and opened it. It turned out to be a star-shaped brooch.

"Thanks. It's lovely."

The spaghetti was almost done. Starry went to the kitchen to put cheese on it and served it in front of him, "Dig in. I have to take a shower and then rest."

"Okay. Good night, Starry."

"Sweet dreams."
