Chapter 212

Isadora bit her lip, her voice barely above a whisper. "How about I just feed you myself?"

After a moment's hesitation, she grabbed a fork and awkwardly speared a piece of mushroom, offering it to Victor.

The crystal chandelier cast a soft glow across the living room, illuminating Victor's striking features-sharp jawline, piercing eyes, his expression unreadable in the shifting light.

He chewed, swallowed, and then, lifting his chin with a cool nonchalance, signaled for more.

Isadora's mouth twitched in annoyance. Gritting her teeth, she stabbed another piece of mushroom and held it out again.

But as she extended her hand, Victor suddenly caught her off guard, grabbing her and pulling her toward him.
