My heart skipped a beat in shock, but I immediately shook off his hand and returned to the dining room.

Channing was done with his meal and was having a chat with Leedon when he saw me enter. He smiled and said, “Where did you go? You didn’t really eat, so Ashton ordered you some clam chowder.”

I was stunned for a while, then saw that there really was a bowl of clam chowder on the table.

I gave him a faint smile and replied, “Thank you!”

Then, I sat down to drink the soup. Around ten minutes later, Ashton arrived with Rachel by his side.

“Wow, you have only left for a while, but the two of you are already holding hands and have even changed your clothes. Where did you go?” said Channing as he laughed. Since he always loved to joke around, the rest of the table was unbothered by his comments.

I was drinking my soup with my head down but subconsciously looked to the two as Channing spoke. Indeed, just like he said, they were holding hands and had both changed their clothes.

They looked a lot more intimate now.
