Chapter 1672: Are you two on a date?

At one point, Hugo and Kiara didn't know if they kept going out and shoving meat down their throats because they enjoyed it too much or because, somehow, they felt slightly competitive. But they kept going until they were hit with a food coma.

Both of them stayed seated, staring at the remaining meat in horror. Fortunately, Hugo had some reserved space in his stomach and forced it all down. Hence, they didn't need to pay extra for the leftovers.

"I think this is the first time I've felt really full," Hugo yawned, rubbing his belly as his steps slowed.

Kiara also yawned, walking beside him.

Before they fell asleep in the restaurant, they both decided to take a short walk first. Hugo would still drive, and Kiara wasn't planning on falling asleep on their trip back and waking up in heaven.

"Can you slow down?" she asked, touching her side a little. "My side hurts."

He slowed down and looked at her. "But we're like... crawling with our pace."

"Just slow down, alright?" she sighed, taking a step like a snail. "We just ate, so walking too fast hurts my side."

'But we're walking very slowly already.'

Hugo intuitively gazed at her thin legs. It wasn't like Kiara was short; she almost had the same height as Nina. However, compared to him, she was smaller.

"Ah." He nodded, pounding the bottom of his fist against his palm. "That's why!" "Huh?" Confused, she tilted her head. "What?"

"Hehe. Nothing," he beamed, not planning on telling her his realization.

Hugo had once talked about height in front of Atlas, and he almost got both his legs fractured. He learned his lesson that time, so he made it a general rule not to talk about it to anyone, ever.

The two of them kept walking on the pavement, silence falling on them. If not for the occasional honk and engine roaring from the road, it would have been complete silence for both of them.
