Sophia put the container of cut fruits on the table and sat on the chair across from Jeremy. She then opened the container and said with a smile, “Okay, it is boring here, but you’re here!

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of chilled watermelon with a fork and passed it to Jeremy.

Sophia picked up a piece of watermelon and took a small bite. She then blinked and said curiously, “Jeremy, Miss Corinne must’ve treated you very well in the past for you to like her this much, huh?”
