Chapter 284 Oliver entered quietly, carrying several sophisticated insulated bags in his hands.

As soon as he entered the apartment, a chill ran down his spine.

He looked up and found himself locked in Kristophers piercing starea gaze that was both inscrutable and unnervingly sharp.

His heart skipped a beat.

Had he made a mistake? Panicking, he replayed the events of the morning in his mind, searching for any error.

Setting the bags neatly on the table, Oliver glanced quickly at his watch.

Exactly eight oclockright on time, just as Mr.

Norris had instructed.

Kristopher emerged from the bedroom, his sleeves casually rolled up.

He exuded a laid-back yet authoritative presence as he remarked, Didnt I ask you to wait at the alley entrance? Oliver stood up straighter, his tone respectful but rushed.

You didnt eat dinner last night, so I thought Id bring breakfast early today.

Kristophers gaze shifted to Elizabeth, who had just exited the bathroom.

She was brushing her teeth in swift, almost frantic movements.

Within a minute, she had rinsed and washed her face, her speed showing she was starving.

Elizabeth wasted no time.

She walked over to the table, tore open one of the bags, and pulled out a fresh bun.

Without ceremony, she took a large bite, chewing quickly.

Kristopher leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching her with faint amusement.

Her cheeks puffed out as she stuffed another bite into her mouth, reminding him of a hamster storing food.

Her single-minded focus on eating gave her a strangely endearing look.

Mm, he hummed lazily in acknowledgment of Olivers explanation, reaching out to touch Elizabeths cheek.

Elizabeth instinctively tried to avoid it, but she was just a bit too slow.
