Sean furrowed his brows and ignored Kate's question entirely, instead opening his mouth as the
croissant neared.He had not had a single bite to eat since morning, and truth be told, he was ravenous.
"You didn't answer my question."
Seeing that Sean did not reply, Kate pursed her lips, drew her arm back, and tossed the croissant
nimbly into her own mouth.
There was a crunch as she chomped on the crispy pastry.
"Do you think you'd be able to get away with eating my food without answering my questions? Well, in
your dreams!"
Sean furrowed his brows when he saw the triumphant look on Kate's face.He was starving, but since
he could not move his hands, there was nothing he could do apart from watching silently as this woman
ate his food.
"You don't get a single bite unless you answer me!"
Kate rolled her eyes at him, then held the box of pastries close to her and resumed watching her show.
As she continued munching on her food, she could not help lamenting, "The truth is, there's nothing to
be gained by being stubborn; that's the rule of every soap opera ever."
Then, she glanced at Sean out of the corner of her eye and added, "Unfortunately, this rule applies in
real life, too."
Sean furrowed his brows but did not say anything in return.
So what if she refused to feed him? Was he going to give up his dignity for food? Even though Kate's
question was not a difficult one to answer, he still did not feel like doing so.He was worried that after
answering this one, there would be plenty of bizarre questions waiting for him.
Kate could not help pursing her lips when she noticed Sean swallowing his saliva but still refusing to
speak.
A split second later, she let out a sigh of pity and said, "Seeing that you're a patient, I'm willing to give
you another chance."
She tore open the packaging of another croissant and brandished it toward Sean.
"I'll ask you again: did you injure yourself because of aman or a woman?" Sean frowned.
He did not feel like answering this strange question, but...He was too hungry to think.
Kate rolled her eyes when she saw him hesitate.
"I guess you still don't feel like opening up."
With that, she removed the croissant from his reach AAt(]rMN said, "I guess I'll] have to eat this one
myself, too..."
Before she could even finish her sentence, Sean suddenly lowered himself, clamped his mouth shut
over the croissant in her hand, and swallowed it whole.
As he did this, his teeth and lips brushed momentarily against Kate's rosy fingers.
His teeth were hard and solid, whereas his lips felt soft and cold, and this strange sensation made
Kate's mind go blank for a moment.It was only after Sean had finished his food that Kate finally
snapped back to reality and realized what had just happened.
A blush crept across her face as she registered this.
This was the first time she had ever gotten nervous because of an encounter with a strange man.
"I… You..."
She clenched her teeth and glared at Sean, her face flushing a deep scarlet.
"How dare you! I've already said that if you don't answer my question..."
"I got myself hurt because of aman.My brother, to be specific."
Sean let out an exhale, and even though he was reluctant to do so, he still volunteered the information
she wanted to hear.
"I'll be happy to answer your questions, provided you don't continue asking weird ones like this."
Then, he glanced at the box of pastries in her hand and asked, "I never tried this brand of pastry
before.Where did you buy this?"
