NovelEnglishChapter 263 But judging by how skillfully he did it, this clearly wasn't his first time. Asher kept his eyes down, focused on his task. "Of course you ---- spoil your girlfriend," he said matter-of-factly. "Can't expect her to do it herself." That stung. Lucia felt a dull ache in her chest. She didn't respond, instead busying herself with the pasta on her plate. That's what she got for running her mouth. Every word from him felt like a tiny dagger. Lucia had always seen Thalia as her rival.
She'd imagined scenarios where, after Thalia and Asher reconciled, Thalia might flaunt her victory-showing off how easily she'd won the man Lucia had yearned for seven years without success. She'd even prepared responses to save face if that happened. But never ina million years had she expected Asher to be the one rubbing it in her face. Compared to him, Thalia actually seemed somewhat embarrassed by the display. ---- Soon, a small mountain of peeled prawns had accumulated on Thalia's plate.
Seeing that it was enough, Asher methodically wiped his hands with a hot towel. "Enough for you?" "Yes," Thalia nodded, focusing on her food. Asher then took a piece of sea bass, meticulously removing all the bones before placing the meat in Thalia's plate. Thalia could feel Lucia's cold, resentful gaze boring into her. Noticing Lucia staring, Asher remarked impassively, "Thalia loves fish, but she often gets small bones caught in her throat. Ineed to make sure all the bones are removed." Lucia: "..." Wait, who asked? I didn't even say anything this time. Thalia awkwardly forced a smile. She genuinely hadn't intended to flaunt their relationship in front of Lucia.
