Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 689

Chapter 689 Are You Checking Up on Me?

Instead of answering her, Louis simply turned his head and met her gaze. After a few seconds, he uttered, "Sure."

Daphne asked, "Did you… meet Theodore?"

Louis made a sound of affirmation at that. "I did."

"You went to him—"

"That—" Louis interrupted, "—is the second question."

As Daphne quietly looked at him in confusion, he stood up and walked away. "I'm borrowing your kitchen."

She finally came back to her senses after feeling dazed for a moment. Did he just brush me off? As expected of a top student. How quick-witted.

She watched his figure and raised her hand to scratch her eyebrow. Even though she had many things to say, she didn't know how she could approach the topic.

The takeout she ordered arrived not long after.

After Daphne took it, she walked to the dining room while asking Louis, "What are you doing?"

He emerged from the kitchen. "I was planning to whip up a dish or two, but your fridge is empty. There were also some expired frozen foods. I threw those away."

Why does that feel insulting, Daphne thought to herself while forcing a cough.

"Let's… start eating."

Louis looked at the food on the table. "There's too much for the two of us. Put some in the fridge. You should pick what you feel like eating now."

Daphne glanced down and selected some food.

The rest were all placed by Louis in the kitchen to cool down before being put in the fridge.

As Daphne needed to watch her weight and she didn't have a big appetite, it didn't take much food to fill her up.

"Is there anything you want to eat?" she asked Louis.

"No. This is enough."

The portion was just enough for them to finish.

After Louis gathered the trash, he told her to rest early and that he would be leaving.

Daphne was standing by the side when she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you going straight home?"
