The Alpha’s Regret Claiming His Luna novel Chapter 25

Chapter 16: Hidden Feelings and Gentle Surprises–2

“Sleep early. Good night.” Without waiting for my reply, he turned and ascended the stairs in

haste.

I didn’t notice his subtle turmoil. I lowered my head, sipping the tea slowly, my heart oddly warm and tranquil.

The next morning, before the alarm clock chimed, Connor appeared, knocking gently on my

door.

“Livvy, time to get up,” his deep voice called from the other side.

I woke, fished my phone from under the pillow, and glanced at the screen: 9:59 sharp. Such

precise timing.

After finishing my morning routine, I emerged to a breakfast laid out on the table: a humble bowl of venison stew. The rich aroma filled the air, making my stomach growl appreciatively.

Curious, I took a spoonful of broth. My eyes brightened instantly as the familiar flavor hit my

tongue.

“How come it tastes exactly like that restaurant near my law firm?” I asked, unable to hide my

surprise.

Across the table, Connor merely murmured a neutral “Mm.”

I was puzzled. What did that mean? I sampled another bite–yes, it was unmistakably the same taste. The unique blend of herbs, the perfect tenderness of the meat–this wasn’t just

similar, it was identical.

I glanced suspiciously at him. “Did you buy this from that tiny restaurant behind my firm?”

A pause, then Connor admitted plainly, “Yes.”

“But… how do you know that shop?” It was more than ten kilometers from this hotel. Why

would he go so far for venison stew?
