Chapter 24: Eat Good, Feel Good (2/2)
Arion's face became red as he quickly put the meatball into his mouth and said while relishing its taste, ”I was just thinking about something else.”
Yuro offered a bemused smile, feeling it good to tease a youngster like Arion.
He felt it embarrassing that he got distracted by the actions of a woman as old as her. Even though she didn't look old, based on his previous life, she would be at least as old as a random grandma.
But then he thought that he didn't know how old Mei was. Since these people were all Defiers, it was hard for him to tell their true age, especially when they were hell-bent on keeping their looks.
However, he remembered that although Mei had a mature figure, her bearings were that of a young adult and didn't seem like a senior hiding behind the skin of a young woman. So, he felt that she wouldn't be 'old' at all.
He also felt it rude to ask Mei her age, wondering if she might misunderstand his question.
However, he remembered Mei having slightly immature features the first time he saw her. So, he was quite confident about her age.
His romantic life wasn't great since he remembered that even his first girlfriend only stuck close to him because he was the young master of a big-shot family. She was only after his money.
After that, all his girlfriends only seemed to get worse, and he kept breaking up one after the other after finding out that their intentions were totally something else other than love.
And his last girlfriend was the one who dropped the bomb on him by leaving him when he needed her the most. Since then, he never expected to have the so-called ”true love” with any woman and considered such a concept completely unrealistic.
However, after coming to this world and seeing the angel-like Mei, the influx of emotions from his heart and memories made him feel like maybe he should give ”true love” one more try.
But now, he wasn't in a state to think about such things. Such things didn't matter if he was still sitting in a wheelchair.
”Does it taste good?” Yuro asked as she leaned on the table.
”Mhmm...Aunt Yuro, I don't think you ever need to ask that question since the answer would be the same as always...incredibly tasty,” Arion said what he truly felt since the meatballs indeed tasted as if they were made in heaven. He felt like he needed to pick up some cooking skills from her so that he can make these himself.
”Aww, you really know how to flatter a woman. Now…” Yuro continued in a serious tone, ”are you not going to tell me what happened today?”
”What's going on here...this smell...ehh, who is this woman?” A puzzled and lazy voice sounded from behind.
Arion turned his head to see that it was Shun who walked out with a crutch while Yuro had a surprised look, not knowing there was someone else in the house.
