Chapter 90

Lewis unfadened his seatbeh and stepped out of the caY

As he walked upstairs and opened the door, the delicious aroma of food greeted him

He hadn’t had Doris‘ cooking in days and instantly felt a wave of nostalgia.

Lately, he had been eating meals prepared by top cheft–meals he once thought were delicious. But now, they always seemed to lack something. He no longer found them appetizing.

The aroma in the air stirred his senses. He hadn’t felt hungry before, but now his stormach was growling.

He changed into slippers, walked into the living room, took off his suit jacket, and draped it over the back of the sofa before heading to the kitchen.

Doris had just placed the last dish on the table when she turned around and saw Lewis. ‘You’re here.”

“Yeah,” Lewis responded.

“Wash your hands and come cat,” Doris said with a gentle smile.

Lewis unfastened his cufflinks and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his lean, muscular forearms.

He turned on the faucet to wash his hands. His fingers were well–proportioned. Not only was he handsome, but even his hands were a work of art.

After washing his hands and drying them, Lewis took a seat at the dining table.

Doris was already seated, and the dishes had been served.

She picked up a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Lewis. “Have some soup before you eat.”

Lewis didn’t immediately move. His deep eyes lingered on Doris, who sat across from him. That was when he noticed- Doris had deliberately dressed up today.

Her lightly made–up face appeared luminous and delicate. Her dark brows arched gracefully, her lips were tinged with a soft cherry hue, and her eyes shimmered like rippling lake water.

She had styled her long hair into an elegant updo, secured with a simple yet refined antique hairpin. Not a single strand was out of place.

She was in a white dress with delicate green floral patterns, exuding a fresh and natural charm.

Doris usually didn’t care much for dressing up, prioritizing comfort over style. But she always looked clean and put- together. Tonight, however, her effort was evident–subtle yet breathtaking. Her beauty wasn’t dazzling or flamboyant; it was like a soft rain that quietly seeped into one’s heart.

Not only had she carefully dressed up, but she had also prepared such a lavish dinner.

The corners of Lewis‘ lips curled slightly, his expression calm, though amusement flickered in his eyes.
