The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 556

Up to that point, Shane was unsure of Yvonne's feelings for him. However, what she said proved Sasha right. He asked, "What did you want to talk about?"

"Let's order drinks before we start." Yvonne scanned the QR code with her phone and asked with a grin, "What would you like to have? I know you're used to finer food. I happen to have some money set aside for a treat, so order whatever you like."

Shane was touched by the offer. Sasha had gotten a fat bonus on top of her monthly paycheck, but she refused to treat him to anything more than a hundred dollars. And yet, Yvonne, who only lived off a paycheck and had no bonus to speak of, had offered to buy him any food he wanted.

Not to mention, she also gave him an allowance for his daily needs.

Shane quickly said, "I just had lunch, so I'm not that hungry."

"You don't have to scrimp on my account," Yvonne said patiently. Shane was her pawn-and a capable one, at that. She saw no harm in treating him a little nicer than usual. She wouldn't want to lose him if someone came along and made him switch sides. She added slowly, "I know you haven't had a full meal in the last couple of days."

Shane suddenly understood just how much she cared for him.

Yvonne continued, "Think of this as a chance for you to feast on something nice for a change."
