Stuck in you

Chapter 319 Fought Back

With a sigh, Rachel turned off the lights in the living room and entered the study.

Knock! Knock!

'Is Lucas here?'

Rachel immediately walked to the door only to see Eric standing outside. She felt a little disappointed. "Why are you here?"

"I'm not welcomed?"

Eric raised the gift bag in his hand and shook it in front of her face. "I'm here for a free meal, plus I got you a gift."

Reminded by this, Rachel suddenly realized that she had forgotten about dinner. "I didn't cook anything for tonight," she murmured.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

Eric stared at her carefully. If there was something he knew about Rachel, it was that she always had a great attention to detail. She always insisted on eating on time or else her stomach would have problems.

He glanced at his watch. It was almost 8 p.m.

Before he came here, he had been afraid that he couldn't make it for dinner. He didn't expect that she didn't cook anything up.

It seemed that Jack was right. Something was really wrong with her.

If she was alone, Rachel would've missed dinner and gone to bed. Now that Eric was here, she made two simple dishes and a bowl of soup with the ingredients left in her fridge.

It took her about half an hour.

Once she called for him, Eric placed the remote onto the couch and went to the dining area. He took a bowl and a pair of chopsticks from Rachel before sitting down. "You seem sad," he noted.

"Do I?" Rachel didn't bother saying anything more. "Hurry up. I still have to read."

Eric placed a piece of fish in Rachel's bowl. "What book are you reading? Do you have an exam?"

"Do you only read books if there's a test?" Rachel snorted.

Although she wasn't much of a talkative person, she would be more introverted if she wasn't in the mood.

"Then why would you read so much that you'd forget about dinner? You look like you need someone to talk to," Eric said. He didn't really know how to get her to talk to him.

Placing her chopsticks back onto the table, her head snapped towards him. "What are you trying to say?"

"Look, I just care for you." Eric frowned.

"Let's just eat."
