When Kimberly finally came to her senses, she rubbed her nose and stepped backwards.

She said, "I'm sorry, Brother Yardley. I didn't expect you to stop so suddenly."

Benedict turned around and looked at her with a gentle gaze, whispering, "No worries, as long as you are alright."

She was alright, of course.

After both of them took their seats, Benedict ordered several dishes that Kimberly liked to eat.

Kimberly truly admired his attentiveness. He really was a gentleman. But she felt guilty too. She had this constant nagging telling her that she shouldn't have a meal with Benedict.

But on second thought, they were just having a simple meal. Why should she feel guilty?

Her messy thoughts disappeared as soon as the macaroni and cheese was served.

Kimberly loved eating macaroni and cheese, but she didn't really have anyone to enjoy the dish with her.

And she couldn't finish all of it by herself if she were to eat alone. Now, when she smelled the familiar aroma, she abruptly realized that she hadn't eaten the dish for a long time.

She scooped a spoonful of macaroni and cheese and placed it on her plate. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "I haven't eaten this for a long time. By the way, can you eat spicy food? Are you okay with it?"

The steam from the freshly served food obscured Benedict's handsome facial features, and it made his eyebrows look even more gentle. He smiled slightly and replied, "I'm fine. I'll eat whatever."

Not many people enjoyed normal spicy food, let alone the extra spicy dishes Benedict had ordered for Kimberly. She was worried that his stomach couldn't handle the spice.

She then said, "Brother Yardley, please do not force yourself if you cannot tolerate the spiciness."

Benedict responded with a gentle tone, "Just enjoy the food, Erica. I'll be fine."

Kimberly was relieved. At first, she was eating rather politely. But when she realized Benedict was also enjoying the dishes, she finally let her guard down.
