Chapter 209



"I dunno!"

Ernest delivered his succinct three-word response with a crisp efficiency.

Yet, I couldn't help but laugh, "You don't know, and yet here you are, knocking on my door?"

Ernest, busy tucking the freshly chopped vegetables onto a plate for later use, responded without missing a beat, "The lady downstairs told me, said my girlfriend was back."

I was speechless.

Sipping my tea, I admired the sight of a man cooking, when Ernest suddenly turned his head to catch my gaze. "What are you doubting?"

I offered a faint smile, "Doubting... that you're stalking me."

"Hmm?" He frowned slightly.

"Just kidding. I know you're not that idle," I said, returning to the living room to enjoy my tea.
