Chapter 2852
Soon, the waiter came back, bringing with him a piping hot bowl of chicken broth atop a tray.
Er swallowed as stared at the basket of fish and chips, his cravings on full disy.
“What’s up? Are you not happy with the soup you’ve been given?” Patricia raised an eyebrow and asked
in a semithreatening tone of voice.
No, I love it.” Er immediately withdrew his gaze, about to consume a spoonful of the broth.
The sight of Er’s reluctantpliance left Patricia feeling both satisfied and relieved. ‘This dude
doesn’t even pay attention to his own health.’ “I know you care about me, so I won’t deny that this soup
actually tastes heavenly,” Er proudly said, before grinning in satisfaction.
Er’s sudden remark took her aback, causing her to choke.
“Are you okay?” Er handed her a ss of water in concern. “Here, have some water.”
Patricia stifled her coughs and took a few sips of water to soothe her throat before ring at Er. “Let’s
eat.”
“Sure,” Er agreed, before lowering his head and taking another sip of his broth.
Lulu and June exchanged knowing nces and turned to Nicole when they saw Er following Patricia’s
orders like an obedient kid. However, there was not much of a reaction from Nicole, as she remained
calm and enjoyed her te of fish and chips.
June and Lulu then exchanged another mutual nce.
Deciding to suppress their urge to gossip, they lowered their gaze and continued eating their meal. Yet,
the insatiable curiosity in their hearts were in full swing, evident and insuppressible. From time to time,
they would steal nces at both Patricia and Er.
Meanwhile, Er’s eyes were fixed on Patricia, so it did not ur to him that both Lulu and June were
looking at him. On the other hand, Patricia was rather vignt. She could not help but feel awkward as
she could sense what June and Lulu were thinking.
“Don’t look at me. Just eat up,” Patricia warned Er through gritted teeth when she spotted him looking
at her again.
“Why can’t I look at you?” Er asked without lowering his voice as he furrowed his brows in confusion.
The trio of Nicole, Lulu, and June sat motionless at the table. However, Patricia swore she could still hear
the stifled giggles emanating from Lulu and June, causing her cheeks to flush at once.
“Shut up,” Patricia red at Er, her eyes burning with resentment. ‘Is this dude insane or what? Is he
genuinely oblivious to what’s going on, or is he just ying dumb?’ “Okay.” Er immediately lowered his
head and continued eating upon noticing that he had pissed Patricia off.
“Hey, why don’t you consider him? I think you two are quitepatible,” Lulu whispered to Patricia.

Patricia, feeling a little ufortable at the notion that she should get together with Er, shifted the
subject. “If you don’t eat now, someone else might chow it all down.”
Then, she quickly lowered her head and dug in, not wanting others to discuss anything remotely rted
to her.
Lulu raised an eyebrow as she observed how shy Patricia had be.
She was about to say something, but before she could, Er had already beaten her to it. “Hey, Nicole.
Are my brother’s wedding preparations almost done?”
“Yeah, they should be by now,” Nicole responded.
“Have you not been in contact with your family all this time?” Lulu rolled her eyes at Er, who was
shifting the spotlight away from Patricia to shield her from any further scrutiny.
“I mean, I did tell them that I’ve traveled abroad. If I contact my family on a regr basis, I’m afraid they’ll
come to discover my secret,” Er nonchntly exined.
Lulu pursed her lips, finding it hard to believe.
“Anyway, have some more.” Er turned to Patricia, scooping up bits of Cesar Sd on the bowl and
cing them on her te.
“Erm, Lulu? Please don’t make things difficult forthem. You might end up destroying any chances of them
getting together,” June warned Lulu in solemn tone.
It was evident that Patricia was resisting each and every one of Er’s advances, even though she had
demonstrated time and again that she cared about him. Therefore, June felt that it was best they steered
clear of Er’s and Patricia’s affairs.
