No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 711

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.
