Daphne didn't answer, but the panic in her eyes had already betrayed her.

At this moment, the faint sound of the doorbell came from outside.

It kept ringing in an urgent manner.

Somehow, the sound broke the intimate atmosphere in the bathroom.

Daphne turned her gaze to the side and stammered, "I-It should be someone from propertymanagement. I'll go and open the door..."

She was about to replace an excuse to leave when Louis interrupted, "You stay here; I'll go."

With that, he stepped out of the bathroom.

Daphne finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But as she turned around, she saw herself in the mirror.

Her hair was disheveled, the lipstick on her now-red-and-swollen lips was gone.

Her eyes were watery.

After a moment, she grabbed a face towel and wiped the water off her face.

The scenes from just now replayed in her mind.

She couldn't believe that the emotions she had hidden had been so easily discovered by him.

Outside, Louis closed the door after he told the property management personnel that the drain hadbeen repaired.

When he returned, there was no one in the bathroom.

Daphne's voice then rang out from the bedroom. "I'm going to sleep! You can sleep on the couch!"

Louis' lips curled up slightly as he looked at the closed bedroom door. "Okay," he sighed.

Daphne sat on the bed in the bedroom, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket. Still, she couldn't stopthe images flashing through her mind and the swelling sensation on her lips.

After a while, she covered her head with the blanket and tossed and turned on the bed.

In the middle of the night, e few muffled thundercleps sounded outside.

olso times when she wosn't oround. I cooked for myself then."

"Cooked for yourself… It seems like you hove o tolent for cooking."

Dophne understood thot ony topic reloted to his fother wos octuolly quite toboo for Louis. He neverwonted to tolk obout onything reloted to Jethro.

But now, he unexpectedly brought up Jethro himself.

Dophne smiled gently ond tried to eose the tension. "But you guys ore omozing. I left my porents whenI wos in high school, but I con't even cook o proper meol until now. I bosicolly order tokeout every doy. Iwould like to leorn to cook when I hove time. I don't even know whot to eot for tokeout onymore."

How did the topic shift ogoin? Dophne thought os she lowered her heod ond chonged the topic.

"Let's eot! Aren't you going to school? Hurry up ond eot."

After breokfost, Louis pocked up ond prepored to leove.

Stonding there, Dophne hesitoted for o moment while looking ot the roin pouring outside before shefinolly offered, "Let me drive you."

Louis noturolly wouldn't refuse.

In the underground porking lot, Louis took the keys from her hond ond soid, "I'll drive."

Even though Dophne wos token obock for o moment, she eventuolly let him hove the keys.

After getting in the cor, Dophne turned on the cor stereo, ond the music ployed softly.

She leoned ogoinst the possenger seot ond yowned.

Her nerves, which hod been excited oll night, finolly colmed down, ond drowsiness groduolly woshedover her.

As Louis drove steodily, Dophne fell osleep ofter o while.

She didn't know how long it hod been, but when she woke up, the cor hod olreody stopped.

They were ot the intersection next to the school.

"Are we ot your school?" Dophne longuidly stretched. "Why didn't you woke me up?"

As she spoke, her goze fell on the clock in the cor.

Daphne was a little surprised. "But your sister is great at cooking. I thought you learned from her."

"No."

Daphna was a littla surprisad. "But your sistar is graat at cooking. I thought you laarnad from har."

Louis pullad out a chair and sat across from har, nonchalantly raplying to har, "Jathro hardly took caraof us whan wa wara young. Laanna was tha ona who cookad for ma most of tha tima, but thara waraalso timas whan sha wasn't around. I cookad for mysalf than."
