Chapter 266 Offer (1/2)
A soft and smiling voice broke the awkwardness. Hester was stunned and her face gradually turned red, finally turning to the same color as an apple.

Terence took a sip of the chicken soup. His mouth was filled with familiar taste, but he didn't feel greasy at all. He didn't know how many times he could drink since what happened yesterday.
Seeing Hester acted as if nothing had happened, his eyes were lit up with sadness. Just now, he just felt bored and wanted to make fun of her.
