Ever since this morning, when that guy found out there was a new servant at The Drexler Family, he’s been sulking and hasn’t spoken a word to him until now!
Noah Drexler lowered his gaze, stared at the servant before him for a mont, then pressed his thin lips together and said.
"I don’t have the leisure to worry about a servant’s age."
Seeing Noah still being stubborn, Sumr Shawcross didn’t say much more, thinking perhaps he wasn’t exposing her for her own safety at the mont.
Even though she had no proof that he had noticed her true identity, inside she felt inexplicably certain that he had.
Of course, she was also very curious and puzzled about how he had discovered the clues about her current appearance.
However, his reaction to her presence at The Drexler Family was much better than she had imagined.
She pondered for two seconds, then continued eating the ribs wrapped in lotus leaves, savoring each bite.
As she ate, she suddenly looked at him with curiosity, pursing her lips stained slightly darker and bigger by special makeup, and asked.
"Hey, when did you take out these ribs? How co I didn’t notice?"
Earlier in the dining room, although she was standing behind him, she hadn’t noticed when he took the ribs from the table.
Moreover, not only did she not notice, but the Drexler elder and Autumn Duval also seed unaware of anything unusual.
Suddenly questioned by her like this, Noah Drexler frowned slightly, an uncharacteristic expression appearing on his handso face.
A mont later, he said in a deep voice to her.
"Don’t talk while eating!"
Had it not been for seeing her craving uncontrollably, she would have thought he was willing to do such... ’sneaky’ things?!
...
Caught by his words, Sumr paused, then quietly replied before continuing to gnaw on the ribs.
But monts later, she couldn’t help but question him again out of curiosity.
"How did you know I wanted this?"
She had been standing behind him at the ti, eyeing the ribs several tis but without showing any signs, so how did he happen to grab the ribs for her?
Seeing her babbling on, Noah Drexler paused for a mont before responding sowhat impatiently.
"Just picked randomly." From the mont she entered, her gaze seed fixed on those ribs; how could he not notice?
His answer left Sumr a bit taken aback, then a hint of delight appeared on her face.
It seed like there was... a bit of silent understanding between them?
Thinking this way, she suddenly found the red braised pork ribs even more delicious!
After quite a while... the last rib was finally finished, and Sumr sowhat regretfully placed the bones back into the lotus leaves, then wrapped them up again.
Just as she was about to throw away the lotus leaves along with the bones, a large hand suddenly reached over, lifting her face up.
She was startled, and only then did she sowhat surprisedly raise her eyes to find him gazing earnestly at her face.
Just as she was stunned, the man suddenly lifted his hand, a soft tissue gently gliding over her lips, wiping away the grease...
The gesture was unexpectedly tender.
She froze...
Noah Drexler lowered his gaze seriously, helping her wipe her mouth, the light glimring in his dark eyes.
And on that incomparably handso face, there was surely a touch of delight.
