Lord Protector Novel

In truth, she felt a little disappointed. The present didn’t even surprise her as she reacted to it indifferently.

Spending a thousand to buy a watch would have been better than the love letter.

It was already 2020. Writing love letters was simply too old-fashioned.

However, she pretended to be delighted so Zeke wouldn’t be upset. “Thank you, Zeke. It’s really thoughtful of you. Given how lazy you are, I appreciate that you wrote me a love letter.”

Love Letter!

Nancy and Mance widened their eyes in disbelief before bursting into laughter.

“Huh, you only gave her Lacey a love letter for your first anniversary? You’re really a smart-ass. But it’s understandable that as a kept-man, that’s all you can afford.

Lacey, have you seen through that fake facade of his yet? He

’s not willing to spend any money for your sake. Why do you still need a man like that? For a moment there, I thought it was the transferal agreement for the Michelin-starred restaurant. I made a mistake by overestimating you.”

Lacey came to Zeke’s defense quickly. “That’s enough. Nancy, don’t criticize him anymore. I like this present very much. Zeke, let’s go.”

Despite what she said, her disappointed expression was too obvious to hide.

She felt embarrassed to stay and wanted to leave with Zeke.

Compared to the Michelin-starred restaurant that Nancy’s boyfriend wanted to give her, Zeke’s love letter simply paled in comparison.

However, Zeke refused to leave. “Lacey, please finish reading the letter.”

Lacey replied, “I want to finish it at home.”

Nancy added, “With so many pages, she would at least need half a day.”

Zeke was at a loss. “Fine, just read the last sentence.”

“The last sentence?” Despite being confused, Lacey continued reading. “Silly you. You know how I don’t like to have breakfast; this isn’t a good idea.”

“The reason I am giving you this Michelin-starred restaurant is so that they can specially prepare breakfast for you. Promise me you will take good care of your health.”

Lacey had a sudden realization. As her heartbeat started to race, her trembling hands flipped to the next page.

Instead of a love letter, the last few pages were part of a contract.

The contract stated that Zeke would transfer his ownership of the Michelin-starred restaurant to Lacey.

As payment-in-kind, Lacey was required to have breakfast regularly.

Tears started rolling down her cheeks. “Zeke, you... you’re being silly!”

She was at a loss for words.

He bought her a Michelin-starred restaurant just so that she could eat breakfast. If that weren’t silly, what else would it be?

She felt he was silly to the extent of being adorable.
