When Celia woke up, it was already one o'clock in the morning. She was so hungry that she couldn't fall asleep. Hans was not in the bedroom. She found a nightdress and put it on. Then she went downstairs quietly.
It was too late, Celia didn't want to wake up the nanny, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
The stairway was equipped with the induction light, which was not very bright. When she went downstairs and was about to turn around and enter the kitchen, she inadvertently saw a small light in the direction of the sofa in the living room. With a closer look, she saw a dim figure sitting on the sofa.
Soon, Celia realized the identity of the figure. Turning around, she pretended not to see him and was going to enter the kitchen. As soon as she took a step forward, she heard an order from behind. Although the voice was low, it was undoubted.
"Come here!"
Celia trembled and cursed in her heart, 'What's wrong with you? Why don't you sleep at midnight but sit in the living room in a daze?!'
But she still walked over and asked indifferently, "Why don't you sleep?"
"What do you want to do in the middle of the night?"
What an overbearing man! It was obviously that she asked the question first, but he took it for granted to ask in reply. In the dark, a touch of anger flashed through Celia's eyes. She replied emotionlessly, "I'm hungry. I want to find something to eat."
As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by him. Before she could struggle, he stood up and took her to the dining room. The light in the staircase was off, but Hans walked very steadily in the darkness. However, Celia stumbled behind him.
With a slight sound, the crystal lights in the dining room was on, dispelling the darkness in the room and lighting up a table of delicious food.
"These dishes should not be cold."
It was not until Hans pulled her to the table that he let go of her hand. In the quiet midnight, his voice seemed to be a little soft, and his handsome face looked soft and gentle under the light. Celia had adapted to his face changing skill. She did not feel strange, but just asked lightly, "Have you eaten?"
Since he said it was not cold, he must have eaten it not long ago. It was already one o'clock in the morning. Was he as hungry as herself that he couldn't fall asleep either?
In the bright light, Celia raised her head and took a look at Hans. She found that he was not wearing pajamas, and there was a faint tiredness on his face. He was not like a person who had a sleep, but seemed to come back from outside.
When their eyes met, she quickly looked away. Thinking of the humiliation this afternoon, she felt annoyed again. She silently filled a bowl of rice for herself. When she was about to pick up the chopsticks to eat, she heard him say in a low voice, "I haven't eaten yet."
Hearing this, Celia was a little stunned. Then she looked at the dishes on the table. There was only a set of tableware on the table. Although she was unwilling, she pushed the food in front of her to him and said in a low voice, "Just eat. I'm going to get another set of tableware."
For the sake of his tiredness, she went to the kitchen to get the tableware and filled her bowl. At that time, Hans had already started to eat.
"Did you buy these dishes from outside?"
