Chapter 434: The Lemon Juice

Gastone and Lucia ate together silently. It was an awkward silence, and both felt it. 

Lucia glanced at Gatsone, who had a stiff posture while eating. She couldn't handle the awkwardness and decided to end it.

"I forgot to continue cooking. Thank you for taking over. It's delicious," Lucia muttered with a smile. 

"Hmm," Gastone nodded in acknowledgement but said nothing else. 

Lucia bit her lips in embarrassment. She looked down and gulped the remaining soup before leaving the kitchen table. She put her plate on the sink, and with a deep breath of courage, she faced Gastone. 

"Look at me," Lucia said sternly with a blush on her cheeks. 

"Huh?" Gastone looked up and stared at Lucia with tired eyes. 

Lucia bit her lips before lifting her skirt. She was wearing thin underwear that showed too much skin. She was nervous about Gastone's reaction and thought she would experience another rejection from him, but it was the opposite.
