Chapitre 129: Always doing weird things

"Thank you" Sara said after a long pause.

Muchen lifted his head to look at her with an unreadable expression. It was the first time she ever said such to him. He assumed she was talking about the meal and said "You don't have to thank me for the food. I was starving also"

Sara shook her head. "Not just the food. For everything" She avoided his gaze and focused on her food.

"It's nice to hear you say that" He said with a tiny smile on his face.

They both quietly ate their foods. They mutually wanted to keep the conversation going because they knew once they finished eating, they'll have to call it a night.

Sara spoke first. "I spoke with Director Li about Joreen. I know things wouldn't go smoothly but I still appreciate your effort"

"You really do love her a lot. Don't you?" It was more of a statement than a question.

"Yes. I have always wanted a sibling. God bless Aunt Cixi for bringing Joreen to me"
