Chapter 1344


    Lena looked at him and met his warm gaze. She did not say anything but subconsciously looked at the


    pizza. Her heart was chaotic.


    Chris tried to reach for her hand, but she evaded him again.


    In the moment of his distraction, she reached over, picked a slice of pizza from his te, and then took


    a bite of the heart-shaped egg.


    “Lena… Lena, this…”


    “It’s pretty good,” she said softly.


    Chris was anxious. “I wasn’t talking about the egg!”


    “You were talking about the pizza?”


    “Lena…”


    Chris had never blushed because of a woman before.


    He let out a deep sigh while Lena remained steady as a rock.


    Just then, the owner, Julius Sparks, came over. His booming voice broke the awkward silence.


    “Are you both enjoying your meal? Would you like another serving of pizza?”


    Chris nced at the middle-aged man with his elbows on the table. He covered his face with a helpless


    expression.


    “I have to say, this doesn’t look like your usual appetite!” Julius chuckled, patting Chris on the shoulder.


    “You used to order three pizzas and a side! What’s this? Trying to appear light in front of a pretty girl


    today?”


    Chris attempted to use his eyes to signal Julius, trying to convey the message to him to cease


    speaking. Yet, Julius was like a loudspeaker. “No worries, young man! Being able to eat well is a


    blessing! Hehe, youngdy, if you find someone who can eat like this, you’re in for a treat in the future!”


    Chris almost spat out his food.


    “Mr. Sparks, I don’t have that kind of luck.” He forced a smile. “You don’t need to add extra anything for


    me today. I’m having ‘Broken Heart’ pizza…”


    “Broken Heart?” Julius was puzzled but understood the situation more or less after he turned to look at

    “It’s okay, young man!” Juliusughed heartily. “As the old saying goes, ‘If you keep something in your


    thoughts, you’ll get a response’!”


    “Oh, I’m not so sure!” Chris smiled. “Can’t even call her by her nickname!”


    Julius furrowed his brows in confusion.


    Lena finished eating then and was ready to leave after wiping her mouth.


    Chris got nervous instantly.


    Lena paused when she got to the door and suddenly said softly, “You can from now on.”


    Chris felt like a p of thunder struck him, frying his chaotic mind. He stood frozen for over ten seconds


    and turned to meet Julius’ friendly smile.


    “Catch up to her! You fool!” Julius was ted. “She’s interested in you, isn’t she? Looks like my efforts


    weren’t in vain! You have no idea how many heart-shaped eggs I’ve made! The youngsterster told


    me that I could buy the mold online! Heh…”


    Chris thanked Julius repeatedly and ran off. However, just as he was a few steps away, Julius’ booming


    voice exploded behind him.


    “Young man, you haven’t paid for the pizzas yet!


    “I’ve been ying along so well, and you’re not paying?!”


    –


    It waste when Lena returned to the Thompsons’. She had nned to wash up and sleep, only to be


    shocked by a shadow in the living room once she entered!


    She automatically switched on the light and realized Renee was sitting in the living room.


    Lena froze and nodded at her. Just as she was going to return to her room, Renee’s shaky voice came


    from behind her. “Why?”

    Lena turned to look at her with a frown.


    Renee stood very straight with her fists clenched tightly on her sides. She bit her lips with a hint of


    resentment in her distant gaze.
