Winnie didn't look at him. "You've become improper—slick-tongued and always grinning."
Michael answered seriously, "You don't like it?"
Winnie said nothing and quietly picked at her food.
Michael continued, "I wasn't really that proper before, either. I just didn't have anything to be happy about, so there was no reason to joke around with anyone.
"But now it's different. I have someone I like, and I know she likes me too. Of course, I want to talk to her about everything and do everything with her."
As she kept eating, Winnie suddenly started to smile.
Even with her head lowered, Michael could see the happiness she couldn't hide.
"Does hearing me talk really make you that happy?"
Seeing that she was focused only on eating, Michael quickly put a piece of meat onto her plate and leaned in close, lowering his voice.
"Marrying me isn't so bad, is it?"
Winnie paused, shoved the meat into her mouth, and chewed for a long while before finally lifting her head to look at him.
The smile in her eyes was practically overflowing.
After a moment, she nodded and murmured, "Mm," swallowing her food. "It's… not bad, I guess."
Then she picked up a big piece of fish and put it onto Michael's plate.
"Aren't you hungry? Why are you just staring at me? Hurry up and eat."
The corners of Michael's mouth lifted, and only then did he obediently start eating.
When they finished, Michael was about to go pay when Winnie grabbed him.
"I already paid."
Michael froze. "Why are you fighting me for the bill?"
"You still think you're the young master of the Morrison family? How much money do you even have on you now? Do you have more than me?"
Her question made his expression turn slightly awkward.
