Chapter 340 I Missed You So Much

She didn’t have the energy: Nør even the mood.

Elena took out her phone and stared at her chat with Alexander.

They hadn’t spoken in days. Not a single message from him.

Was it really because she told him she was busy… so he simply took her at her word?

Or was it because

Fiona was with him?

Because she was there, close enough that he didn’t feel the need to reach out at all?

Snow still clung to his shoulders in scattered flecks, not yet melted. His breathing was uneven, as if he had come back in a hurry.

She wrapped her arms around his neck.

His brows tightened immediately.

“Who told you I was spending it with her?”

Elena blinked.

Alexander carried her im the bedroom, set her down on the bed, and pulled the blanket over her before tapping her lightly on the forehead.

“I told him to say that.

She stared at him.

“…Are you five?”

The embarrassment hit all at once. Thinking about how jealous and miserable she had been earlier made her face burn. She kicked the blanket off in frustration, suddenly wanting to bite him just to make up for it.

She glared at him.

“I’m not talking about her anymore.”

Then she looked at him again.

“How did you know I was here?”

She had thought she hid it well.

Alexander looked down at her, his tone calm.

Only then did she remember the table full of food.

“It’s probably cold by now…”

She glanced at the time. Nine.

Alexander took her downstairs.

The dishes sat exactly where she had left them-cold.

“I’ll heat them up.”

She stood immediately, rolling up her sleeves.

He pressed her back onto the sofa.

“Stay.”

Without another word, he rolled up his sleeves. Lean forearms, clean lines, the cool gleam of his watch catching the light.

He picked up the remote, turned on the TV, found a talk show, then reached for the apron draped over th chair and tied it on with practiced ease.
