Chapter 2852
Soon, the waiter came back, bringing with him a piping hot bowl of chicken broth atop a tray.
Ellar swallowed as stared at the basket of fish and chips, his cravings on full display.
"What's up? Are you not happy with the soup you've been given?" Patricia raised an eyebrow and asked in a semithreatening tone of voice.
No, I love it." Ellar immediately withdrew his gaze, about to consume a spoonful of the broth.
The sight of Ellar's reluctant compliance left Patricia feeling both satisfied and relieved. 'This dude doesn't even pay attention to his own health.'
"I know you care about me, so I won't deny that this soup actually tastes heavenly," Ellar proudly said, before grinning in satisfaction.
Ellar's sudden remark took her aback, causing her to choke.
"Are you okay?" Ellar handed her a glass of water in concern. "Here, have some water."
Patricia stifled her coughs and took a few sips of water to soothe her throat before glaring at Ellar. "Let's eat."
"Sure," Ellar agreed, before lowering his head and taking another sip of his broth.
Lulu and June exchanged knowing glances and turned to Nicole when they saw Ellar following Patricia's orders like an obedient kid. However, there was not much of a reaction from Nicole, as she remained calm and enjoyed her plate of fish and chips.
June and Lulu then exchanged another mutual glance.
Deciding to suppress their urge to gossip, they lowered their gaze and continued eating their meal. Yet, the insatiable curiosity in their hearts were in full swing, evident and insuppressible. From time to time, they would steal glances at both Patricia and Ellar.
Meanwhile, Ellar's eyes were fixed on Patricia, so it did not occur to him that both Lulu and June were looking at him. On the other hand, Patricia was rather vigilant. She could not help but feel awkward as she could sense what June and Lulu were thinking.
"Don't look at me. Just eat up," Patricia warned Ellar through gritted teeth when she spotted him looking at her again.
