Chapter 269
Leslie took the food from the deliveryman.
He placed the items on the table.
“Dig in.”
“Okay.”
Aurelia was happy, realizing she didn’t have to cook.
She quickly sat down and opened the cake with the word ‘happy‘ written on it.
It was a simple design, but with whipped cream, it looked absolutely delicious.
She handed the plate and cutlery to Leslie.
However, she soon noticed there was only one cup of milk tea.
“Did they forget to deliver the second one? Why is there only one cup of milk tea?” she asked.
“I don’t like it.”
Leslie gestured for her to drink it.
Aurelia nodded, said thank you, and started sipping.
It was sweet and delightful.
Meanwhile, Leslie cut a piece of cake for her.
She took a big bite and enjoyed the fruity, tangy flavor.
As she took a satisfying second bite, she noticed that Leslie hadn’t touched his portion.
“Aren’t you eating?”
“Are you feeling better now?”
They both spoke simultaneously and looked at each other in surprise.
Aurelia’s eyes widened as she realized that Leslie bought these for her.
She swallowed the cake and pursed her lips. “Mr. Synder, did you buy these for me?”
“No,” he said and took a bite of cake, before frowning in apparent discomfort.
Aurelia couldn’t contain her laughter and a bit of her milk tea sprayed out.
Leslie clicked his tongue and wiped the table with a tissue.
“You’re so messy,” he said but there was no disdain in his tone.
“Sorry,” Aurelia said. “Thank you, Mr. Synder, but… I wasn’t in a bad mood just now. I was just tired.”

Leslie narrowed his eyes.
Noticing Leslie’s reaction, Aurelia quickly added, “However, I do feel much better after having the cake and milk tea. Now I feel like I’m floating in the clouds.”
Leslie poured a glass of water for himself to cleanse the sweetness from his mouth.
“I didn’t expect you to be such a talented actress.”
“Maybe I’m a little gifted,” she said.
Leslie was silent, feeling unexpectedly relaxed.
Aurelia noticed the change in his expression and took another bite of cake, before standing up.
“If you’re not eating the cake, I’ll make you a simple dinner.”
“Wait.”
Leslie reached out, grabbing Aurelia and pulling her closer.
He misjudged the force, and Aurelia ended up right in front of him.
Their eyes met and they could feel each other’s breathing.
It was a sweet and tender atmosphere.
Leslie’s voice was deep and hoarse, “You have cream on your face.”
“Oh, okay.”
Aurelia hastily wiped her face a couple of times, her heart pounding.
She quickly retreated to her original position.
“I’ll go see what’s in the fridge.
With that, she ran into the kitchen.
Seeing that there were still leftovers in the fridge, she made two simple dishes and placed them on the
table.
“Mr. Synder, food is ready.”
“Okay.” He took the plate in her hand.
One of them continued to eat cake, while the other had a proper meal.
It was a weird scene, but it looked somewhat harmonious.
So long as they had each other’s happiness in mind, it wouldn’t matter even if they were doing something completely different.
Leslie was worried that Aurelia was upset because of Millie, so he ordered milk tea and cake for her despite not liking them.

3/3
Aurelia knew that Leslie didn’t enjoy cakes, so she made him dishes that he would like.
The table was filled with food that didn’t go together, but it symbolized their concern for one another.
After the meal, Leslie cleaned up while Aurelia sat on the couch, scrolling through her phone.
Leslie said that he needed to take care of something and headed into his study.
