Coralie sat down at the dining table. She had spent a lot of energy on the struggle the night before, so she was really starving today.
However, Coralie did not dare to speak when she was eating.
"Is it delicious?"
Yohan asked her kindly when he saw how concentrated Coralie was eating and how she didn’t say a word.
"It's delicious."
Coralie nodded and then lowered down her head to gobble.
"Later, I'll take you fishing. There is a place nearby where the fishes are dumb and can be easily hooked."
After Coralie assured Yohan that the food was delicious, Yohan switched to a good mood, and so he asked Coralie to go fishing.
"Okay."
Coralie nodded.
While eating, Coralie was worried about Hendric as well as Skylar.
Coralie had originally thought that after more than two years, Skylar would not like her anymore. After all, time would dilute everything, but when Skylar walked into the ward and hugged her tightly, Coralie knew that his feelings for her had never changed.
Then Coralie was even more uncertain whether Skylar would rush to Yohan's house as he said.
Coralie couldn't help Skylar now, so she could only pray that Skylar wouldn't act impulsively.
After the meal, the two of them went to the fishing place in a car. A servant set up a chair, umbrella, and the fishing rod. It didn't look like they were there fishing, it was no different from sunbathing.
Coralie didn't know how to fish. She sat there and fiddled with the fishing rod. Yohan came over and held the fishing rod. His fingers accidentally touched her.
"Ah!"
It only took this small act to scare Coralie so much that she almost exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
Yohan bent down to help Coralie adjust the fishing rod, fish food, and the float.
"Nothing, nothing."
Coralie shook her head, but only she knew that she was terrified of Yohan now.
Coralie denied, but Yohan saw it through." Corrie, you're afraid of me, aren't you?"
"I... Yes, I'm afraid of you."
Coralie reflexively wanted to deny it, but she found that she couldn't deny this question.
Coralie should have told Yohan that she was afraid of him.
"I see."
Yohan stood aside and carefully adjusted the fishing rod. He did not speak for a long time.
However, this silence caused Coralie's heart to be steeped in fear. She didn't know what Yohan would do next. This man didn't work according to common sense.
After Yohan adjusted the fishing rod and put it on a rack, he stood up and said to Coralie, "It doesn't matter if you are afraid of me. As long as you don't leave me, it doesn't matter what you feel."
The meaning of Yohan’s words was so straightforward.
"Doesn't it matter even if I hate you?"
Coralie blurted out.
Coralie regretted when she said it. She was afraid that Yohan would be up to something again.
Yohan returned to his seat, sat there, and fiddled with his fishing rod. After a long time, he said, "Yeah, it doesn't matter even if you hate me."
Yohan’s eyes were fixed on the fishing rod, as if he was trying to avoid something.
