Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Dulcie glanced at Casey, who appeared lost in thought, and asked, “Miss Casey, what are you looking at? Are you hungry? Should we order?”

Startled by Dulcie’s voice, Casey snapped out of her reverie but still couldn’t help but glance in that direction.

Symeon also noticed her distraction and asked, “What are you looking at? Aren’t you hungry?”

“I’m not very hungry. You go ahead and order for Dulcie. I need to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.”

After saying that, she left with her phone.

Symeon observed her mysterious expression but didn’t pay much attention. Then, he took the menu and showed it to Dulcie.

Hearing the term “preoccupied” from the little girl’s mouth was a bit surprising. It was probably something she learned from one of her classmates in kindergarten.

“Miss Casey does seem preoccupied. Why don’t you go and check on her?”

“Why should I care about her? That’s her privacy. If she doesn’t want to tell you, then don’t pry too much, understand?”

Dulcie pouted and nodded. “Okay.”
