Chapter 213

We ate lunch at my favorite stew restaurant.

I sat face–to–face with Colin while waiting for my food. Whenever I looked up, I would meet with his passionate eyes. Then, I would blush and lower my eyes to scroll on my phone. However, I didn’t manage to catch a single word on the screen.

It was already half past 12. The food came quickly as there weren’t many customers.

The stew here was known for being hot and spicy. Fearing I would get scalded, Mathew scooped out some stew into a small bowl and placed it before me. “Be careful. It’s hot.”

Colin looked at me teasingly for a while. It was obvious he wasn’t used to seeing me acting prim and proper. Thus, he clinked the bowl with his fork. “Be natural. You don’t need to act in front of me. I love and want the side of you that’s fearless and free.”
