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.
