Ignatius Leclair's narrow, phoenix-like eyes glanced at Delphine. Seeing her reach out to tug at his cufflink in a coquettish manner, his heart had already melted, though his face remained expressionless as he replied, "Mm."
It was an agreement.
Chloe Winston's eyes lit up as she looked at her half-finished plate of spaghetti. Watching Ignatius Leclair turn and leave, she finally sat down happily to continue eating.
Delphine noticed that Chloe's lovely little face was smudged with dirt. She was eating the spaghetti in big bites, tears streaming down as she ate. Startled, Delphine asked, "What's wrong?"
"The spaghetti is just too delicious." Chloe wiped her tears, finished the entire plate, then belched. Embarrassed, she covered her mouth and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to burp."
