Chapter 265: Rose Tinted Glasses (2)

Inez stared at the man in both shock and sheer amazement when she saw that the man hadn’t answered her question and had instead gone looking for something to eat in her kitchen. She blinked her eyes before chasing after the man. When she saw him pulling out a packet of ham from her refrigerator, she couldn’t help but frown.

He took a bite of his sandwich. "You are looking a lot better than you were looking in the morning."

"I am feeling a lot better. So, Joannes?" She nudged the man for an answer.
