"No, I weigh more than a hundred pounds." Shirley shook her head and placed the shrimp dumpling on Skyler's plate. "You need to eat more."
Skyler smirked and raised his eyebrows when he heard that. "What's the problem? Are you concerned that I won't have enough energy if I don't eat enough?"
The innocent Shirley was unaware of Skyler's innuendo.
"Of course not. All I want is for you to eat more."
"Oh, I see what you mean. You're criticizing me for not doing a good job of serving you."
"Huh? I—" Shirley's cheeks flushed scarlet as she realized what he meant. "What nonsense are you on about?"
Skyler is such a pervert who constantly drops innuendoes!
"What are you talking about? I see you both having a good time even from a distance," Veronica commented.
As the entrance to the living room was open, Veronica and Matthew entered the room holding hands.
"Veronica and Iron!" Shirley cheerfully stood up. "We're having breakfast right now. Why don't you come over and have some too?"
"It's late; why are you eating breakfast now?"
Veronica looked at the wall clock, which showed that it was already 9.30 AM.
"I…"
Shirley was shy, and the flush on her face didn't go away. Veronica's words made her unconsciously recall what happened the night before and she couldn't help but blush.
"Oh? What exactly is going on?"
Sensing something was amiss, Veronica turned her head and glanced at Matthew. The two exchanged a knowing smile.
"What? N-Nothing at all." Shirley then shook her head vigorously. "I slept in, so I'm late."
Matthew nodded as he pretended to believe her. "Is that so? But Shirley, what made you so nervous about Roni's casual remark?"
