Soon, the waiter came back, bringing with him a piping hot bowl of chicken broth atop a tray.

Ellar swallowed as stared at the basket of fish and chips, his cravings on full display.

"What's up? Are you not happy with the soup you've been given?" Patricia raised an eyebrow and

asked in a semithreatening tone of voice.

No, I love it." Ellar immediately withdrew his gaze, about to consume a spoonful of the broth.

The sight of Ellar's reluctant compliance left Patricia feeling both satisfied and relieved. 'This dude

doesn't even pay attention to his own health.'

"I know you care about me, so I won't deny that this soup actually tastes heavenly," Ellar proudly said, This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

before grinning in satisfaction.

Ellar's sudden remark took her aback, causing her to choke.

"Are you okay?" Ellar handed her a glass of water in concern. "Here, have some water."

Patricia stifled her coughs and took a few sips of water to soothe her throat before glaring at Ellar.

"Let's eat."

"Sure," Ellar agreed, before lowering his head and taking another sip of his broth.

Lulu and June exchanged knowing glances and turned to Nicole when they saw Ellar following

Patricia's orders like an obedient kid. However, there was not much of a reaction from Nicole, as she

remained calm and enjoyed her plate of fish and chips.

June and Lulu then exchanged another mutual glance.

Deciding to suppress their urge to gossip, they lowered their gaze and continued eating their meal. Yet,

the insatiable curiosity in their hearts were in full swing, evident and insuppressible. From time to time,

they would steal glances at both Patricia and Ellar.

Meanwhile, Ellar's eyes were fixed on Patricia, so it did not occur to him that both Lulu and June were

looking at him. On the other hand, Patricia was rather vigilant. She could not help but feel awkward as

she could sense what June and Lulu were thinking.

"Don't look at me. Just eat up," Patricia warned Ellar through gritted teeth when she spotted him

looking at her again.

"Why can't I look at you?" Ellar asked without lowering his voice as he furrowed his brows in confusion.

The trio of Nicole, Lulu, and June sat motionless at the table. However, Patricia swore she could still

hear the stifled giggles emanating from Lulu and June, causing her cheeks to flush at once.

"Shut up," Patricia glared at Ellar, her eyes burning with resentment. 'Is this dude insane or what? Is he

genuinely oblivious to what's going on, or is he just playing dumb?'

"Okay." Ellar immediately lowered his head and continued eating upon noticing that he had pissed

Patricia off.

"Hey, why don't you consider him? I think you two are quite compatible," Lulu whispered to Patricia.

Patricia, feeling a little uncomfortable at the notion that she should get together with Ellar, shifted the

subject. "If you don't eat now, someone else might chow it all down."

Then, she quickly lowered her head and dug in, not wanting others to discuss anything remotely related

to her.

Lulu raised an eyebrow as she observed how shy Patricia had become.

She was about to say something, but before she could, Ellar had already beaten her to it. "Hey, Nicole.

Are my brother's wedding preparations almost done?"

"Yeah, they should be by now," Nicole responded.

"Have you not been in contact with your family all this time?" Lulu rolled her eyes at Ellar, who was

shifting the spotlight away from Patricia to shield her from any further scrutiny.

"I mean, I did tell them that I've traveled abroad. If I contact my family on a regular basis, I'm afraid

they'll come to discover my secret," Ellar nonchalantly explained.

Lulu pursed her lips, finding it hard to believe.

"Anyway, have some more." Ellar turned to Patricia, scooping up bits of Cesar Salad on the bowl and

placing them on her plate.

"Erm, Lulu? Please don't make things difficult forthem. You might end up destroying any chances of

them getting together," June warned Lulu in solemn tone.

It was evident that Patricia was resisting each and every one of Ellar's advances, even though she had

demonstrated time and again that she cared about him. Therefore, June felt that it was best they

steered clear of Ellar's and Patricia's affairs.
