Chapter 447

“It’s crowded out here. Don’t get separated,” Yannis said, still holding Zinnia’s hand with a faint smile as he gestured at the bustling crowd. “Come on, let’s get some roasted sweet potatoes.”

With the monthly holiday landing on a weekend, the shopping district was jam–packed. People were jostling against each other, and it’d be easy to get lost.

Zinnia glanced at the sea of people around them and nodded, letting Yannis lead her toward the sweet potato stand ahead.

The roasted sweet potato stand was packed, with the queue snaking out the door. Not in any hurry and not wanting to wander around, Zinnia and Yannis simply joined the end of the line.

For Yannis, who’d always had everything delivered to him since childhood, waiting in line like this was practically unheard of.

As their turn approached, Zinnia turned to Yannis. “What flavor do you want?”

Yannis glanced at the overwhelming menu, and then looked down at her. “What are you getting, Zinnia?”

“Oreo,” Zinnia replied honestly.

“Alright, let’s get that.” Yannis nodded.

“Wait, you want the same as me?” Zinnia asked, a bit puzzled.

Yannis shook his head. “Let’s just share one.”

Zinnia ordered one, and then, thinking of Emily and Stephen waiting in the car, picked two more popular flavors to go. She was about to pay, but Yannis had paid the bill in cash.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Yannis asked, holding two bags of sweet potatoes. Zinnia, with her own portion in hand, stared at him with a curious look.
