章 571: WHAT COULD HE DO ABOUT IT?

"WELL, that dinner went better than expected," Ellis said.

"Yeah," Astrid said, looking out of the car's window. He hoped it did.

The two of them were on their way back to his apartment. The Grimaldis actually told them they could stay for the night at the manor, but he refused. And he tried his best not to be swayed. Eating dinner was fine, but staying over for the night was a bit... Good thing he had school tomorrow, so was able to come up with a believable excuse.

Besides, there was still that weird atmosphere around the duke. He didn't like how the other had been so quiet since dinner started. No, more accurately, the other started acting that way since he saw him eat the cupcake.
