Chapter 242

“Here, Zinnia, the shrimp you wanted.” Yannis set a plate of shrimp in front of her.

Zinnia had just stuffed a beef taco into her mouth. The spicy flavor and the sour cream made her squint with satisfaction. She was about to try something else when she saw Yannis place the shrimp in front of her. “Thanks,” she said.

“Zinnia, why are you so cold to me? Did I do something wrong?” Yannis raised an eyebrow, noticing her attitude. The smile in his eyes faded a little.

She was clearly not as warm to him as she was to Jackson and Perry. Yannis frowned slightly, wondering if it was because Zinnia still remembered what happened last time.

But that was just an accident. He didn’t think she should treat him differently because of it.

“Well, you did tease her before,” Perry laughed. “Zinnia, don’t mind Yannis. Just tell me what you want, I’ll get it for you.”

“I’m sorry,” Yannis said. “I’m just treating her like a child.”

Yannis had planned to tease Zinnia a little when he came over. But when he saw her blank little face, the urge to joke just vanished. Her clueless expression made it hard to mess with her.

Still, he didn’t want to admit that, so he said seriously, “Zinnia, you look like a generous person. Don’t let Perry’s bad influence rub off on you. He’s just a clown.”

He even threw in a jab at Perry, since Perry had teased him before too.

“I won’t,” Zinnia said, pressing her lips together. She thought Perry was childish and Yannis was kind of dumb.

Yannis looked a little awkward. He could tell she didn’t think much of him.


“Alright, enough joking around. Aren’t you guys hungry? Come on, eat. I’ll take care of Zinnia,” Jackson said as he pushed a plate with two chicken wings in front of her.

“Of course I’m hungry. I skipped lunch. But I can take care of Zinnia too,” Perry said.
