Chapter 359

The tantalizing aroma filled her mouth with each bite, but it wasn’t greasy.

"The chef here is pretty good." He remarked.

Chloe Collins replied with sparkling eyes, "I know, that’s why I love eating here."

"You come here after school?"

"No, school is almost an hour away from here."

Alexander Foster didn’t respond, his eyes bearing a thoughtful expression.

After a while, he seemed absorbed in the joy of feeding her, not rushing to eat himself but focused on serving her.

"Have some soup." He pushed half a bowl of soup towards her.

Chloe, being thirsty, picked it up and took a sip.

She glanced at his bowl filled with rice and commented, "You’re eating less than me. Will you have enough strength?"

Alexander looked down at the rice, her words echoing in his ears: Will you have enough strength?

Will you have enough strength? Will you have enough strength?

He didn’t say anything and continued eating silently.

Chloe spotted a plate of julienned carrot salad and smiled unconsciously.

Picking up the serving chopsticks, she placed some onto his plate and commented, "This salad is well mixed."

She made a peculiar observation— she enjoyed seeing the conflicted, dismissive look in Alexander’s eyes when he was unsure if he should reject it.

She was reminded of a Husky’s "sagely wisdom" gaze in its puppyhood.

As expected, Alexander looked at the julienned carrots and gave a silent look of disdain. He picked a few strands and seemed lost in thought, but he didn’t eat them.

Chloe pretended not to notice, continued eating, making soft, crispy chewing noises.

She glanced at him from the corner of her eye— he had taken a bite.

The next second, his brows furrowed.

Unable to resist, Chloe let out a quiet laugh. "If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it. I’m not forcing you."

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she finished her sentence, the man un-furrowed and not only swallowed the mouthful of carrot salad but also ate what was left on his plate.

"It’s not that weird." He said, his eyes reflecting her beautiful, gentle smile.

After the meal, Alexander dropped her back at school before heading back to the company.

In Chloe’s left hand was a bag of snacks he had just bought, and in her right was a cup of milk tea, sensation a strange feeling in her heart.

Looking back at Alexander’s receding car, that feeling was mixed with a hint of reluctance.

Reluctance?

She shook her head, laughing at herself thinking she must be overthinking.

She walked towards the teaching building, hearing many people talking about the "Tree Essence" perfume.

Edgar Foster’s action was quick, the advertisement had reached the school before the press conference was held.

There were no flyers around. The promotion strategy was probably similar to the one used in Hidden Nooks, where attention was drawn by a couple’s argument.

This commotion had reached Class 8.

With about ten minutes to go before the first class in the afternoon, many girls were discussing the Tree Essence perfume.

A group of girls was gathered around the Literary Committee Member, who usually liked to dress up.

"Have you heard that the perfume was developed by Raine Nolan from Class 1?"

"I knew it already! Not only is Raine Nolan is multitalented, she has good grades and also knows how to mix perfumes. The teacher said that she’s won countless awards!"

"Although her character isn’t great, we must admit she’s skilled."

"I don’t care about her, I’m more interested in the price. Redolence’s perfume isn’t cheap, right?"

"Don’t know the price yet, but it must be affordable. We’ll know when it’s launched. Honestly, I would find any girl who doesn’t have a bottle of Tree Essence rather low."

"I heard the new collection has more than just the Tree Essence, there are others too, right?"

"Not sure, but regardless of what is launched, Tree Essence is their main product, the best!"
