Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1770

Chapter 1770 

In the end, Yasmin turned her bicycle around and left.

Zaylynn was over the moon at Yasmin's retreat.She ran after the two boys with bouncy steps.

"Let's not eat the cafeteria food.I've already asked the cook to prepare something for us separately.Wait here for me.I'll run over there real quick to retrieve the food."

She saw lan had already sat down at an empty table with Jacques soon as she entered the cafeteria, so she quickly stopped them from buying anything.

Jacques flashed her a knowing smile.

"How nice of you.I'm in luck then"

As her senior, he was aware of her intentions from the start.

Soon, Zaylynn led the cook over with several dishes in her hands.

There were pork knuckles, baked fish, and a pot of steaming chicken soup.

Those dishes were fantastic compared to the ordinary cafeteria food.

Jacques drooled a little at the feast in front of him.

After serving all the dishes on lan’s table, she noticed the cold, handsome boy didn't even spare the food a glance.

With his head lowered, he was focusing on his phone.

"Have some, lan.Let's eat first.You can use your phone later."

"She got a point.lan, let's dig in.The food won't taste nice once they're cold"

Jacques urged.

However, lan merely cast a disinterested glance at the dishes and said, "No thanks.My aunt will be coming over later"

Both Jacques and Zaylynn were speechless at his cold response.

They fell into an awkward silence after lan’s rejection.

For a whole minute, they merely sat there in silent, thinking about how to continue or start a new conversation.

lan's excuse was unusual.

At the very least, anyone other than lan would've gladly dug into the dishes.

Even if they were to reject, they would've done it politely, then explained the reason.

lan was an exception.

He rejected their offer directly and indifferently, then continued sitting there nonchalantly playing on his phone as he waited for his aunt.

Zaylynn was stiff as a board sitting there under everyone's scrutiny.

Assuming lan would gladly accept her invitation, she had publicized her lunch date with lan on social media.

All her friends and acquaintances knew she was having lunch with lan.

What am I supposed to do? They're all watching my every move.

How am I going to face them after this? Zaylynn was on the verge of crying.

Jacques noticed the crestfallen look on Zaylynn's face.

Sparing her a glance sympathetically, he urged, "lan, since Zaylynn went through the trouble of asking the cook to specially prepare the dishes, you should at least try it"
