Chapter 288

“Whose mom?” Daphne quickened her pace, reaching the table.

Lionel helped her pull out a chair, his firm grip on her shoulders gently guiding her to sit, “Our mom, Mrs. Flores.”

“My mom gave you the keys to my apartment? Really, Lord Lion, you trying to fool me? Did you…” Daphne was about to suggest that he might have made a copy of her key the last time she left it at his place.

But as her gaze met Lionel’s enchanting hazel eyes, Daphne suddenly lost her nerve. The words that were on the tip of her tongue turned into something else.

“Did you see that I left the door unlocked last night and decided to come in?”

Lionel pulled out a key and waved it in front of her. “I had no idea you had a habit of leaving your door unlocked at night. Or did you do it on purpose, hoping I’d come over?”

“Lord Lion… Do you think this is some sort of morning sitcom?” Daphne rolled her eyes at him.

“Hmm?” Lionel’s tone rose slightly.

Daphne immediately took a spoonful of yogurt bowl and put it in her mouth, then exaggeratedly gave a thumbs up. “Delicious!”

“Took quite a while to make,” he replied casually.

“Did you make it yourself?” She looked at the yogurt in front of her with a hint of surprise. It tasted great and looked like something you’d get at a fancy place, not something Lionel would make.

Yet he affirmed with one simple words, “Duh.”

“Lord Lion, let me see your hands.” Daphne reached out to Lionel.

He extended his hand, and Daphne put down her spoon and opened his palm. It was soft and smooth, evidently well taken care of.

Daphne scoffed lightly, “Look at these hands, they haven’t seen a day’s hard work. I don’t believe for a second you made this. There’s no shame in not being able to cook, I can’t cook either!”

Lionel lightly tapped Daphne’s head, “Is not being able to cook something to be proud of?”
