Luke's words caused Ophelia's cheeks to redden, and his beguiling smile left her utterly captivated.
"Haha, just as I pledged previously, I'd be delighted to treat you when I have some free time, provided, of course, that you're also available," Luke chuckled. However, the reality of Luke's words quickly dispelled Ophelia's daydreams.
She had profoundly misinterpreted Luke's intentions. Though a hint of disappointment threatened to surface, she maintained her composure, offering a gracious smile as she accepted Luke's offer.
However, Ophelia's next words put a dent in Luke's offer.
"I would be delighted to accept your offer, Luke. But if you'd be willing to indulge me," Ophelia hesitated for a moment, momentarily setting aside her usual grace, "I would like to savor the dishes you prepare. In fact, the food I've been accustomed to no longer satisfies me since I've tasted your culinary creations," she admitted meekly.
