The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 26

"I…" Kylie was about to explain, but Liana didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Enough excuses. Get here now." With that, she hung up.

Kylie took a deep breath, barely eating a few more bites of her breakfast, before standing up to leave.

Jim noticed that and said, "Ms. Clark, you barely ate. Was the food not to your liking?"

"No, it's not that. I just don't have time. I need to head to the Vance residence."

"You can't skip your breakfast, especially when you have low blood sugar," Jim said. He was worried and handed her a sandwich. "I'll have the driver prepare the car. You can eat this on the way."

Samuel's cars were all high-end, and he had a mild case of germophobia. He definitely wouldn't want food smells lingering inside.

As she thought of that, Kylie politely declined. "It's okay, Jim."

Jim saw right through her hesitation and smiled. "Don't worry. I'll have the driver take a different car."

She felt a little embarrassed having been seen through but also warm inside. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Jim."

"Go ahead."

Once she was in the car, she called Jeremiah, apologizing for the last-minute change. Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up in front of one of the villas at the Vance residence.

Liana's expression brightened with delight. "Of course, I love it. Mr. Harrison's work is nearly impossible to get. You're always so thoughtful—you really shouldn't have."

"It's no trouble at all. I love surprising you, Aunt Liana. As long as you like it, that's all that matters."

Liana and Iris chatted happily in the living room. The atmosphere was warm and easy.

Kylie took a deep breath, keeping a polite smile on her face as she walked over. She greeted, "Mrs. Vance."

Liana acted as if she hadn't heard her at all and continued admiring the gown. "Mr. Harrison's craftsmanship is truly exquisite. Just look at this embroidery—it's stunning."
