Chapter 454

It was not about trying to please her, but it felt strange nonetheless.

“Take it.” Matthew pushed the breakfast into her hands without hesitation, saying, “I really don’t know

what goes on in your head.”

Cynthia was rendered speechless by his remark and internally scoffed at it.

Well… It was because Matthew had been acting so out of character. In the past, she would have to go

hungry if she was late or had not completed a task, and not only that, she would face additional

penalties.

Yet now, Matthew was directly delivering food to her.

How could she not read into it? Maybe this was his way of punishing her because of the incident last

time… Could it be her’ last meal’?

The more Cynthia thought about it, the more convinced she became

Finally, she blurted out, “Captain, just be straightforward with me.”

She was sure that Matthew was indirectly punishing her because she called him as if he were an

antidote.

He wanted to put psychological pressure on her, and he definitely succeeded.

Matthew gritted his teeth, genuinely wanting to give Cynthia’s wild imagination a good scolding.

Why did she have to misunderstand his good intentions?

“What do you mean by that?” Matthew retorted.

Cynthia looked up at him, pursed her lips, and after a few moments, managed to utter, “You know it

yourself.

“Eat your breakfast,” Matthew said, placing his hands into his pockets and still looking handsome. “Stop

overthinking”

Cynthia took a few steps back, slightly hesitating, before closing the door.

Matthew felt both frustrated and amused.

What an idiot.

Cynthia had mixed feelings about this.

It was not surprising that she was overthinking, mainly because the Matthew she remembered from her

past and the current Matthew were too different.

Cynthia only remembered Matthew as the captain who constantly set traps for her at Old Man Tanz’s

place.

However, Matthew had been acting really differently these days… and it felt like a complete deviation

from that memory, and it was unsettling.

Lost in thought, Cynthia looked at the breakfast that Matthew forcefully shoved into her hand and made

a call.

Jimmy answered the call, still groggy from sleep.

His voice was soft and m uffled as he asked, “Cynthia, why are you calling me at such an hour?”

“If Captain were to bring you breakfast, how would you feel about it?” Cynthia asked.

Jimmy’s eyes instantly widened. “Who?”

“Captain.”

“1-I’ve been on my best behavior lately.” Jimmy’s mind cleared up completely, and a shiver ran down

his spine. “I haven’t done anything wrong.”

Was it because he complained to the others about Matthew being too strict, and they sold him out?

D mn it!

What a heartless bunch!

Was it too late for him to buy a plane ticket and run away now?

“Cynthia, where is Captain? Is he bringing brealdast for me now? Jimmy quickly asked, getting dressed

in a matter of seconds, ready to sneak away.

“No.”

“That’s good, then.”

Jimmy felt slightly relieved, but his hands swiftly started parking his luggage.

Then, Cynthia added, “He just brought it to mr.”

Thud!

Jimmy stood there dumbfounded, not even bothering to pick up the fallen picture frame.

He suddenly became serious and said, “Maybe you should buy a plane ticket and leave as soon as

possible. Don’t attend the gathering tonight.”

“Is it that terrifying?” Cynthia thought he was exaggerating

“I’ll ask in the group chat. You’ll know if it’s terrifying or not once you read their reply.” Jimmy suddenly

felt sorry for Cynthia.

What had she done to deserve this?
