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.

"I have ham?" she mused, but before Killian could answer her, she snatched the pack right out of his hands and said to him, "I don’t know about you, but I would like to have my kitchen intact. You know?"

The man shrugged and said to her, "You are acting a bit exaggerated; I can put ham and bread together. "That’s something that even a child could do."

In response, Inez simply rolled her eyes. She pulled the packet of bread and sauces out of the refrigerator before turning to look at the man behind her. She eyed him warily before making a ham sandwich for Killian.

Pushing the plate of sandwiches in front of the man, she crossed her arms and asked him, "So what did Joannes tell you?"

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.
