Max Shaw didn't linger long at Yuefu; after smoking, he drank a few cups of tea and drove away.
During this time, Lucy Ansley stayed hidden in the dining room, not coming out until Henry Ronan came in looking for someone. She gazed at him resentfully as if accusing him of his "animalistic behavior" that morning.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
The man sat across from her, a charming smile on his face, pretending not to understand her look.
Lucy casually picked up a fork, stabbed a piece of cantaloupe, and stretched her arm out to offer it to Henry's lips, "This is delicious, try it."
With this gesture, she evaded his question.
Henry's warm, broad palm enveloped her small hand holding the fork. Instead of leaning down to eat the fruit, he kissed the back of her hand, "Are all the school materials ready?"
Lucy was slightly startled, not expecting him to have the energy to care about her school matters right after returning from a business trip.
