Chapter 1234
John turned around to her cold and sulky expression after he hung his jacket up.
With a grin, he walked over to her. He caught a glimpse of the dinner by her bed, so he asked, “Why haven‘t you
had your dinner?”
Sherry ignored him.
John sat on the edge of the bed. “Lost your appetite?”
“You made me lose my appetite,” Sherry snapped.
John smiled while he started to unbutton his shirt. “It‘s okay. You can eat later when you feel better.”

Her gaze shifted, and she immediately said, “I suddenly feel hungry again!”
John‘s hands froze while he stared at her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout skipping a beat, she got up to the side of the bed and started eating
John sat beside her, watching her eat.
Sherry ate particularly slow. She could sip a spoon of soup for more than ten seconds and chew on a piece of meat
for longer than a minute. She was obviously stalling time.
He allowed her to delay the inevitable nonetheless. He
got up and sat on the chair by the window and simply picked up a book to read.
The book was from Queenie, and it was a about school romance. Two turns of the pages later, he put the
book back and propped his forehead on his fist with his eyes lazily glued to her.
Sherry continued to munch on her meat when she got annoyed by the stare. “I think I‘m going to take my time with
my dinner. If you’re in a hurry, why don‘t you come back later or tomorrow?”
John narrowed his eyes. He understood if she wanted him to leave, but what was that about coming back later or
tomorrow?
What did she mean by that?
Regardless, he had a feeling that her attitude was a lot better than it had been yesterday. Had she gotten used to
the environment and started to accept him?
He smiled. “You take your time. I don‘t have anything else to do tonight. I can wait.”
Sherry‘s eyes flickered, and she intentionally slowed down on her chewing. She usually finished dinner in under ten
minutes, but she took a whole two hours this time.
The sky turned dark and things got quiet.
She put down the spoon and looked at the window.
He was still there slouching on the couch lazily with his arms crossed. Behind the golden–framed glasses, his eyes
were glued to her.
There was not a hint of annoyance or impatience in his eyes; they even looked delighted.
He asked when she looked at him, “Are you done?” Sherry‘s eyes flickered. “N–not yet...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe grinned. “Are you planning to eat the plates as well?” Sherry awkwardly tightened her lips. The man was several
meters away, yet he was able to see the clean plates in front of her. She ignored him and went to the toilet
instead.
Ten minutes later, John started to knock on the door. The lights cast his shadow on the door, allowing Sherry to see
his contour from inside.
“Sherry, did you get stuck in the toilet?”
Sherry frowned. She did not want to have sex with him tonight because she planned to escape tomorrow. She had
to finalize the details tonight, so it would be unwise to be distracted tonight. However, after some consideration, she
sighed. ‘Fine. We‘ve fucked so many times already, so one more round won‘t do any harm.‘
She got up and opened the door.
The man’s tall figure and handsome face appeared before her eyes.
She looked up at him.
“I‘m tired. I want to sleep, so do whatever you want but be quick,” she blurted out her intention in a hurried tone.
