NovelEnglishChapter 268 The Forgotten Task we head to our room and have our meal there?" Samantha and Finley exchanged a frosty glance at Emily before turning their eyes away, only resuming their gaze once Emily had retreated into the kitchen. Samantha broke the silence, her voice laced with concern. "Elias and Emily are preparing a meal here. How about Finley's brow furrowed. "This is my home. There's no need for us to retreat to our room just to avoid Emily." "I understand," Samantha said, her tone softening. "We don't need to avoid her. It's just that I'm worried you might feel uncomfortable eating with her around." Uncomfortable? What could cause him discomfort? Finley looked at Samantha with a gaze full of affection. He reached out and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. "I'm wearing a mask. She won't see me." "I know, but wearing a mask makes it difficult for you to eat," Samantha replied.

In the end, she said nothing further and simply settled beside him, and together they enjoyed their meal.

Have you ever studied professional photography, Finley?" Finley shook his head. "No, I haven't." "If you haven't, then how are you so adept at capturing my beauty?" "Because you're already so beautiful," Finley said with a smile.
