From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 489

After meeting Alex, her world revolved solely around him.

Serene picked up the porcelain bowl from the table. "Alex, I made you some

ginger tea. It'll help warm you up. You should drink it while it's hot."

"Did you add any honey?" Alex turned to Serene, his tone cool.

Serene paused, puzzled.

Alex usually despised the taste of honey. Why the sudden change?

"No, there isn't any honey," Serene replied. "If you'd like, I can take it to the kitchen and add some for you."

"Alright," Alex nodded.

Seeing his response, Serene quickly whisked the ginger tea back to the kitchen.

Moments later, she returned, holding the bowl carefully. "Be careful, it's hot," she warned.

Alex took the porcelain bowl and drank it all in one go, then turned and headed upstairs.

Watching his retreating figure, Serene felt her eyes well up a little.
