Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 198 Metaphysical

After finishing the soup, Everleigh took out the tissue and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth. When she raised her head, her eyes were calm. She looked at Theodore, who was sitting across from her and said, "I've finished eating. Why didn't you eat anything?"

The plate in front of Theodore was still clean. It was just a symbolic gesture when he offered to eat with her; he didn't even drink much water.

"I'm not hungry. I don't eat much either."

"You have to eat three meals a day." Thinking of his stomach problems, the doctor in Everleigh came out. She habitually said, "Don't have coffee for breakfast, and just eat oatmeal. You can also have some cereal. It's better to have food around you. It's bad to have an empty stomach for a long time. Besides, you have to eat your medicine on time."

After talking for a while, Everleigh finally realized that Theodore had been staring at her. She stopped all of a sudden and swallowed her words back. "Umm... Occupational habit."

Theodore's expression didn't change. "Mm," he said. "When you treat me like a patient, you become more natural."

Everleigh was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

This was indeed the case. She treated her patients more naturally than she treated Theodore, and when she treated him as a patient, she felt much more relaxed.

After all, it had been seven years. Even for relatives, if they didn't meet or been in contact with each other for seven years, it would be awkward and strange when they saw each other again. What was more, they were former lovers. If there were no misunderstandings between them, they wouldn't have lost contact.

"Waiter, bill please," Theodore's voice brought her back from her thoughts.

...

On the way home, the neon lights outside the car windows quickly disappeared, along with the bustling nightlife in Ocpeace City and the fading scenes of the past seven years.

Theodore didn't say a word, and Everleigh didn't know how to break the silence. Several times, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she swallowed them and gave up.

It didn't matter if it was an awkward silence or embarrassment. Anyway, they would be strangers when she got out of the car at the destination.
