Chapter 235 Basil's Favorite Food

When Emyr arrived, he caught Charmaine in the middle of watching him and Veronica from the window, her meal in front of her like she was casually observing a TV show.

Emyr sighed in frustration. "That bad?"

He clicked his tongue and said, "Roll down the window. The smell's unbearable."

Without hesitating, Charmaine hit the button to lower the window and muttered, “Isn't this food more appetizing than Veronica's perfume?"

Emyr's gaze sharpened, his eyes fixed on her as if he were trying to understand what she was thinking. "Are you feeling jealous?"
