Chapter 852

Franklin curved his lips and opened a box of the chicken soup on the table, as well as several other boxes that contained sweet and sour pork ribs, stewed lamb with radish, two simple vegetarian dishes, and noodles in the last box.

"I noticed you weren't back yet, so I saved some food for you," he said while waving at her.

Sylvia didn't refuse. She took off her scarf and coat before walking towards him. Franklin had prepared cutlery for her before sitting next to Sylvia. His upper body leaned slightly forward until it almost touched Sylvia's.

Sylvia gave him a sideways glance and saw that he had also picked up cutlery.

"You haven't eaten?"

"Mm-hmm." Franklin nodded his head. He didn't have an appetite when she wasn't around so he waited for her to eat together.

As they spoke, Franklin's aura enveloped them both; he was always so charming that even picking up a vegetable made it seem like it was glowing with golden light. Sylvia found herself amused by this thought.

She smiled before picking up a mushroom from the dish in front of her. "You still haven't told me who you were talking to on the phone earlier."

Her brow furrowed slightly as she probed further into his conversation earlier.

Franklin didn't try to hide his affectionate gaze towards Sylvia; amusement twinkled in his dark eyes when he replied teasingly,"Guess."

Sylvia remained unfazed by this response as she continued eating another bite of food from their shared meal.

Suddenly though, Franklin grabbed hold of Sylvia's chin firmly, while exhaling warm breaths onto her lips, causing them to tingle with anticipation.

Despite being caught off guard by this sudden action from him, she remained calm enough, not show any reaction on her face or stop chewing on a rib bone.

Unexpectedly though, just as quickly as Franklin had grabbed hold of Sylvia's chin - he lowered himself down until they were only about one centimeter apart - but then stopped abruptly without doing anything

else.

The tension between them lingered heavily in silence until finally breaking when Franklin spoke again after finishing chewing, "You really know how to ruin the mood," He chuckled lightly before adding more seriously, "But... this pork rib tastes especially delicious."
