What did he mean?

Monica stared at him, her heart momentarily stunned.

There was a rare tenderness in Tristan's eyes, but he quickly came to his senses, worried that she would be unprepared and frightened.

So he retracted his gaze and smiled at her, "Let's eat quickly; the food is getting cold." As he spoke, he picked up his fork.

The girl sat down beside him, but couldn't help thinking of her mother's attitude just now, making her even more worried for him.

"I'm sorry.” Facing the carefully prepared dishes on the table, kind- hearted Monica felt that she owed him a lot, had no appetite, and was in a terrible mood.

Money wasn't the issue; it was his time, which was undoubtedly very precious.

"Stop saying that," Tristan said casually to make her feel better. "Don't feel indebted; we can consider this an equal exchange. Tomorrow afternoon at two, I'll pick you up at the hotel.”

Monica sobered up from her illusion of love at the words “equal exchange,” which made her feel a bit lost.

"Okay," she replied softly. She wouldn't refuse this favor, after all, she had promised Eason and had already wasted Tristan's time today.

The atmosphere during dinner was a bit chilly. Tristan didn't speak, and Monica didn't know what to say.
