After a few chews, he paused somewhat uncomfortably, his brows slightly furrowed. He truly didn't like the taste.
However, Emily Walker served him this dish. He didn't want to see her hopeful expression change because of his reaction.
"So? Doesn't it taste good?"
Baron Stuart felt that over time, Emily Walker had learned to be more at ease with him. Gradually, she felt more and more like... his girlfriend.
In the past, they never shared these small joys during lunch. Nowadays, she seemed to get along better with him. There was no more distance between them.
When did all this start? Emily Walker couldn't recall.
"Hmm." Baron Stuart hummed in response. Once he swallowed the ribs completely, he picked up the boiled water to sip, which helped to reduce the sour taste in his mouth.
Seeing him hum in response, Emily Walker's face lit up in a smile. She attentively picked up the second piece of spare ribs from his bowl and brought it to his lips, saying, "Eat this one too."
