Chapter 1454 Making Breakfast
As the early morning sunlight began to filter through the window, it was slightly too dazzling for comfort.
Darcy reluctantly opened her eyes, momentarily blinded by the strong light. She turned her back to the window,
and her gaze fell upon Kendrick's face.
The man was still deep in slumber, his eyes tightly shut, seemingly lost in a pleasant dream, a faint smile gracing his
lips.
Unable to resist, Darcy shifted to a better position to observe Kendrick, her gaze unhesitant and curious.
After so many years, this was the first time she had seen Kendrick in such a state of tranquility.
In the past, the Kendrick she knew was always engrossed in official duties or en route to attend to them. She had
never seen him in such a relaxed state, dozing off peacefully.

With a faint smile playing on her lips, Darcy took the opportunity to study him more closely.
"Have you seen enough?"
Just as Darcy was lost in the sight of Kendrick's sleeping face, he suddenly opened his eyes and spoke in a slow,
measured tone.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just…" Darcy began to stammer out an apology but quickly noticed a hint of amusement in
Kendrick's eyes.
For a moment, she was unsure whether Kendrick was annoyed or amused.
"You held onto me last night and wouldn't let go, that's why," Darcy hushed, quickly sitting up, no longer trying to
decipher Kendrick's thoughts.
She didn't dare to meet Kendrick's gaze, her eyes fixed on the ground, unsure if he would be upset.
Kendrick remained silent for a while, causing Darcy's heart to flutter with anxiety. She slowly raised her head to look
and found Kendrick propped up on one elbow, a smile on his face, showing no signs of anger.
"I wasn't unconscious when I pulled you over last night. I was just a bit tipsy and had a headache." Kendrick shifted
his position and looked at Darcy with affection.
However, it couldn't be further from the truth; he had been sober all along. His supposed drunkenness was merely
an act, a ploy to make Darcy believe that he was genuinely in love with her.
"Oh, okay, are you hungry? I'll make breakfast."
Hearing Kendrick's response, Darcy was at a loss for how to react. She quickly found an excuse to leave the room.
As soon as Darcy left, the smile on Kendrick's face faded.
He watched Darcy leave with a heavy gaze, his face immediately turning somber. It seemed that Darcy had bought
his act, but he knew he needed to provide further proof.

Darcy wasn't exceptionally skilled at making breakfast but knew the basics. In less than half an hour, she had
prepared a simple meal for two.
By the time breakfast was ready, Kendrick was already seated at the dining table, watching Darcy bustling about.
"Okay, Kendrick, breakfast is ready. I hope you won't mind my cooking. I promise to improve in the future."
Darcy suddenly felt a wave of shyness wash over her as she placed the food in front of Kendrick, momentarily at a
loss for words.
When she first moved in, despite not knowing how to cook herself, she hadn't thought about hiring a dedicated
cook or anything like that either since she often went out with her friends and sometimes ate with Kendrick. She
didn't think she needed to cook.
But now, things were different. She needed to start learning.
"It's okay. I love whatever you make. You've been busy this morning, and you must be tired. Take a break."
Kendrick gently shook his head, picked up his cutlery, and began to eat. From the looks of it, he seemed to enjoy
Darcy's meal.
