The Author's POV

Chapter 553

A small smile spread across Amanda's face as she sipped her coffee cautiously.

When it came to smiling, she didn't do it very often, but today...she just couldn't stop herself from doing it.

Particularly after what had just happened half an hour earlier.

'On second thought, don't take the flowers.'

Amanda's hand trembled as she recalled what Ren had said when he stopped her from taking the flowers.

Despite accepting the fact that she liked Ren, she didn't expect to feel so delighted when he expressed his jealousy as clearly as he did.

'He was definitely jealous.'

As observant as she was, Amanda could easily tell from a glance what Ren was feeling back then.

His furrowed brows, his firm grasp on her hand, his stern voice...

They were all obvious indications to Amanda, and her heart raced unknowingly.

"Hey, Amanda."

"Uh, ah?!"

Amanda's thoughts were jolted by Ren's voice.

In light of her current state of mind, she could not help but be startled as her hand shook and her coffee spilled resulting in a few coffee stains appearing on the tablecloth.

Leaning forward, Ren asked.

"Did I surprise you?"

"…A little."

Amanda honestly replied as she put the coffee down.

"Fortunately, you didn't seem to have spilled on yourself."

"Yes."

Amanda softly replied as her eyes were drawn to the small stains on the cloth.

There was a twitch in her hand.

'I can endure it.'

Taking her eyes away from the stains, she smiled.

"I was just too deep into my thoughts. It's nothing big."

While she spoke, Amanda tried not to glance at the stains, but her attention kept drifting toward them as she curled her toes.

Putting her arm over the stains, she pursed her lips.

In an instant, her shoulders relaxed and she felt better.

'I can do it.'

Breathing a sigh of relief, she looked at Ren.

"So, what did you want to talk about?"

"Ah, nothing."

With a shrug of his shoulders, Ren leaned back on his chair.

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to eat yet."

"...Eat?"

Rubbing her tummy, Amanda thought for a moment before she nodded her head.

"Sure."

She was indeed feeling a little hungry.

"Great."

Trying to attract the waiter's attention, Ren raised his hand.

In no time at all, the last waiter arrived. They were greeted by a different waiter than the previous one.
