Chapter 523:

When Connor opened the breakfast bag, Domenic peered over curiously. He noticed that the bag contained only a few simple, common items and raised his eyebrows slightly, a barely noticeable gesture.

That morning, Domenic had purchased an extravagant breakfast for Connor, who had claimed he had no appetite. Now, faced with a modest breakfast that cost merely three dollars, it seemed unlikely that Connor would touch it.

Connor was extremely particular about his food; it had to be not only delicious but also visually appealing. He would rather skip a meal than settle for anything less.

Yet, just as Domenic was mulling over this, he watched as Connor pulled out the milk from the bag, inserted a straw, and began to drink. Connor, nonetheless, seemed to enjoy the simple fare.

After a few sips, he grabbed the sandwich, took a hearty bite, and appeared to relish it, showing no signs of disinterest or difficulty.

Domenic’s eyes widened in disbelief. Was this the same Connor he knew? Connor, who was raised in luxury, had never before indulged in such inexpensive fare!

As Domenic was still grappling with his shock, he heard Connor complaining to Marissa, “Why didn’t you come back earlier? I had been waiting so long, I was almost starving.”
