When Anika returned to the villa, the large living room was pitch black and unlit.The moment she turned on the light, she frowned and smelled the bitter smoke in the air.

Looking at the man in the living room, Anika paused and said, "Zac, why didn't you turn on the light? It's too dark in here."

He sat expressionlessly on the sofa, his eyes indifferent, and there were a few cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table.

Zac didn't say anything.

Just from looking at him, one could tell that he had an unpleasant mood.

Anika stood up and walked over to him, asking, "What's wrong?"

Zac regained his senses and slowly met her gaze.

Then, he smiled and shook his head lazily, "Oh, it's fine.I just smoked a few cigarettes."

When she went out, Anika said that she would go shopping with Nataly after work.

He didn't expect her to come back so early.

Anika looked at his indifferent expression and sighed, "Smoking damages your body.You better smoke less in the future for your sake."

This was the first time she had seen Zac smoke.

Zac then raised his eyebrows and said with a teasing expression, "Anika, why are you so concerned about my affairs recently? Why are you even meddling with my smoking?"

Anika choked slightly and took the cigarette pack on the coffee table.

Then, she narrowed her eyebrows and replied, "I was afraid that I would be forced to inhale your second-hand cigarette smoke and endanger my health."

Then, she pointed to the words on the cigarette case and said, "Smoking is harmful to your health.If you don't have any addiction, you should smoke less."

During their stay, she hadn't seen Zac smoke, so even if he was addicted to smoking, it wouldn't be a very big deal.

They had gotten along well these days, and she didn't want to see him fall into the path of a smoking addict.

Zac casually replied, "You're right."

When he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of her gaze and shook his head again, "I know.I won't smoke in the future."

He wasn't addicted to cigarettes, so he rarely smoked cigarettes.

At most, he smoked two cigarettes when he was socializing.

But because he was in a really bad mood, he wanted to smoke for a bit.

Now that she had mentioned the matter of smoking, his emotions and mood changed slightly.

But just as he finished thinking, Anika lowered her eyes and asked him, "So, why did you smoke here just now?"

Zac looked up at her with a faint look in his eyes.

A moment later, he chuckled and looked out of the window.

His voice was turned somewhat relaxed, "Let me see...I solved some things, but I found that it was not as liberating as I imagined it would be.’’
