I froze, touching my somewhat bulging stomach as I stood there without moving.
"Go on and eat it. It’ll get soggy if you leave it out for a long time." He urged.
I had no choice but to go to the table. I picked it up and took a few bites of it. It did taste better because he was the one who made it, but I had eaten too much just now and was stuffed. Hence, I could not finish it.
I could not help but look up at the sofa. Theo was still buried in his book, his handsome and well-defined profile looking soft. He seemed to gleam under the sunlight.
There were many sides to him. Outside, he was always cool and cocky, exuding an irresistible charm. At home, he would become gentle after unloading everything.
No matter which side of him, he was always as dazzling and made it hard for people to take their eyes off him.
"I know I'm handsome, but don’t get sappy when it’s time to eat dinner. Your peanut butter and jelly is getting cold." He knocked on the table as he smiled with his eyes.
I was startled and came back to my senses. I panicked and asked, "When did you get here?"
He was sitting on the sofa by the window earlier, reading a book. 'When did he come over? I didn't even notice it.'
"When you were not eating and busy staring at me. Have you just realized how handsome I a,?" He raised his attractive eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile. 1
'What a... narcissistic man. Who compliments themselves like that?'
I blushed and lowered my head. I looked at the toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich that I only had a few bites off before embarrassingly saying, "It's too much.
I had my fill just now. I don't think I can finish this."
I felt bad and did not dare to look up. 'Will he think that I don't like it because I didn't finish the sandwich that he specially made for me?'
I immediately continued, "It's because Miss Woods made me drink a big bowl of soup just now. If I eat like this all the time, I'm going to turn into a pig soon."
