She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366: Breakfast

Feeling utterly gloomy after leaving the Foley Group, Cheyenne checked the time and realized it was still early. Deciding to leisurely stroll to the food court, she treated herself to a breakfast. In a stroke of conscience, she packed a box of dumplings and called Sam to meet up.

She had yet to receive the promised "Bible" from him. Sam was taken aback by how early she arrived when he received her phone call, claiming she was already downstairs at his place. He quickly glanced at his plaid pajamas and frowned... Was this outfit too outdated in her eyes?

Oh, well. He'd better change into something normal before meeting her.

"Miss Lawrence, you certainly are an early bird. Quite unexpected," his clear voice came from behind. Cheyenne immediately retracted her hand... with a dumpling still in her mouth, scalding hot.

Tears brimming in her eyes, she hastily chewed twice and swallowed. Then she turned around, beaming at him. "Good morning, Master Sam. Buurp... Uh..."

It was quite embarrassing for a beauty to suddenly have a hiccup right in front of an exceptionally handsome gentleman. Cheyenne's fair face quickly flushed with a tinge of red, and she hurriedly covered her lips with her hand.

"Hiccup..."

Feeling her chest vibrating... Damn it, had she completely lost her dignity?

Sam was also momentarily stunned, but then he chuckled, basking in the gentle morning sunlight that cast a holy and warm glow upon him.

In a clear voice, he kindly suggested, "Miss Lawrence, try pinching your earlobes with both hands and opening your mouth wide."

Being a medical professional, Cheyenne knew that acupoint massage in the ear could stop hiccups. But it was highly unlikely that she would carry silver needles with her when going out to deliver an oil painting.

Hearing Sam's suggestion, she decided to give it a try with a hopeful mindset. And surprisingly, it actually worked.

Sam's gaze drifted off into the distance as he spoke with a touch of melancholy, "This was something an old friend told me a long, long time ago."

Cheyenne didn't pry into the details of that old friend. She wasn't a gossip type. "I apologize for the inconvenience, Master Iker. By the way, I came to find you to borrow the 'Bible'."

Quickly pulling himself out of his low spirits, he hung another charming and refined smile on his face. "Miss Lawrence, please come up and have a seat. I'll find the book for you."

Upon hearing this, she hesitated and didn't move right away. After a moment, she playfully teased, "Is it convenient?"

The man froze for a second, then his ears started turning red. "Miss Lawrence, rest assured, I live alone... there's no one else here."

She seemed surprised, blinked her eyes in disbelief, and said, "Master Sam, you're so handsome and rich, it's unbelievable that you don't have a girlfriend! What a shame!"

Sam smiled sadly and replied, "Better to be single than play around."

She looked admiring and agreed, "Master Iker, you do think different about romance."

He didn't truthfully tell Cheyenne about his "gynophobia" or the fact that he didn't see her as a woman at all, because he was afraid of hurting her self-esteem.
