Chapter 220

I didn’t plan on inviting Neil for meal, but since he already started munching, my words just choked back.

Indeed, he’s been a big help today, he even went the extra mile and ordered a feast. He’s been quite thoughtful

I focused on my food, doing my best to ignore Neil He’s always quiet when eating, giving our meal a serene ambiance.

Just as we were halfway through, Neil’s phone started buzzing non stop, probably someone bombarding him with messages.

He glanced at his phone, an annoyed expression on his face. I bet it was either Bonnie or Scarlett blowing up his phone.

“Neil, go handle your business.” I took the chance to say.

“No. Let’s continue eating. Neil peeled a shrimp and put it on my plate, replying nonchalantly.

I looked at the shrimp on my plate, feeling a bit mixed up. We weren’t at that lovey dovey stage yet.

So, I put the shrimp back on Neil’s plate. He gave me a meaningful look and asked, “Are you disgusted by me?”

I shook my head, “No. I just don’t feel like eating shrimp.”

He got the message, didn’t say anything else, and just ate the shrimp himself.

By the time we were almost done, Neil’s phone started ringing again This time was a call. I sneakily glanced, and the caller ID read “Annoying Fool”. Annoying Fool? That nickname felt a bit ambiguous. But it definitely wasn’t referring to Bonnie.
