Chapter 218
Mikayla lowered her gaze and noticed a bruise on Jerome’s back.
This must be where he injured himself when he hit the corner of the table as he was carrying her out of
the bar.
She felt nothing when she heard about it from Connor.
But now, looking at the bruise on Jerome’s back, it stood out a lot on his pale skin.
She could imagine how painful it must’ve been when it happened.
“If you feel bad, would you apply medicine for me tonight?” Jerome suggested.
Mikayla, who was clearly worried about him earlier, gave him a disdainful look. “In your dreams.”
Jerome was taken aback by her change of expression.
Meanwhile, there was a buffet in the dining area.
Mikayla decided to not pursue the matter further with Jerome.
She let him carry the plates while she took the food.
Their “affectionate” behavior quickly became the center of attention.
Everyone believed that Mikayla and Jerome had a deep affection for each other.
After Mikayla and Jerome finished taking their food, they sat down at a table.
It so happened that Celeste and Connor came back with plates of grilled seafood.
“I’m starving! Being in the water always makes me hungry,” Celeste said while handing Mikayla two large grilled prawns. These are your favorites. I picked them specially for you. How considerate of me, right?”
Mikayla knew that Celeste was trying to please her for luring her here.
She stared at Celeste and said sarcastically. “You’re so considerate!”
“No worries, dig in!” Celeste remarked as she ate a drumstick.
Mikayla took the drumstick instead because it was troublesome to peel the shrimp.
“Mikayla, Ms. Reign said you love grilled prawns the most? Why aren’t you eating them?” Connor asked.
Mikayla took a bite of the drumstick. Her cheeks were puffed up as she said, “I’m too lazy to peel the
shells.”
Celeste chuckled. “She finds it troublesome when she’s eating alone. But she can peel a whole plate of prawn for someone special.
Mikayla glared at Celeste. “You’re talking too much today. Your mouth can’t stop even when you’re eating.”
Chapte/218.
Upon hearing this, Jerome suddenly remembered that when he came home for dinner in the past, the prawns would already be peeled
The prawns would be nicely arranged on the plate. The plate would also be decorated with some flowers and condiments in the middle. The dish looked like a work of art.
When he sat down, Mikayla would dip the prawns with some sauce and put them into his plate.
Then, she would look at him happily and say. “The prawns are very fresh. I hope you like them.”
He was afraid that Mikayla would think he liked prawns.
To prevent her from sending them to his office every day, he took out the prawns from his plate and threw them away.
He then coldly said, “I don’t like prawn.”
Jerome felt a sense of guilt thinking of the past.
He reached out and took Mikayla’s plate of grilled prawns.
“What are you doing?” Mikayla looked at him, puzzled.
Jerome remained calm. “Aren’t you too lazy to peel the shells?”
Mikayla guessed that Jerome remembered her peeling prawns for him in the past when he heard Celeste’s remarks.
Mikayla took another plate of prawn and put it before Jerome. “Since you’re so considerate, why don’t you
peel these as well? I can’t wait to eat them all.”
This was the only time that she could boss Jerome around. It wouldn’t be bad to have him serve her a
little, especially since he always acts so high and mighty.
Jerome pursed his lips and began to peel the prawns.

As he was about to place a peeled prawn on the plate, Connor spoke up,” Jerome, didn’t
couldn’t wait to have them? Hurry up and feed her!”
la say she
Mikayla was about to speak, but Connor seized the opportunity. “Mikayla, your hands are dirty from eating
the drumstick. Let Jerome serve you!”
After saying that, Connor winked at Jerome.
Jerome calmly held out the prawn to Mikayla.
Celeste and Connor looked at her. They couldn’t wait to see what happened next.
Mikayla hesitated.
They probably wouldn’t be able to contain their smiles any longer if she continued to hesitate. So she opened her mouth and took a bite of the prawn.
“Is it delicious?‘ Celeste asked.

Mikayla kicked her lightly. “Try it yourself, and you’ll know.”
“Ah, I can’t eat anymore,” Celeste exclaimed suddenly.
“Jerome, keep peeling. I’m still hungry,” Connor chimed in
“Hahaha!” Celeste couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Kylie walked to the buffet area and happened to witness Jerome feeding Mikayla.
