No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 711

Just when I thought he was about to take something as a token of his response, he surprised me by saying, "Well, it does look pretty cool, quite unique." Then, he pulled his hand back. I was stunned for a few seconds, then let out a laugh.

He still wouldn't admit he was Ernest.

I understood he had his reasons for keeping his identity a secret; not revealing who he truly was served as a form of protection. But why couldn't he be honest with me? Did he not trust me, or was he being cautious around me?

It didn't matter, as long as I knew who he was.

After that, he gestured toward my breakfast, "You should eat."

He had put effort into making breakfast, and it was exactly to my liking, so of course, I wouldn't waste it.

Especially since I hadn't eaten much last night, just had some drinks, so I was quite hungry.
