Why the Crocodile Tears (by Flower Sock) novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461

This time, Gregory reached for the bowl of soup again.

Before he could touch it, Anathea had already picked it up and taken a sip. Expressionless, she asked, “Happy now?”

“Could be better.” Gregory smirked slightly as he picked some food for her. “Eat some more.”

Anathea glanced at him. “Gregory, do you know what you look like right now? A maidservant from ancient times.”

A nurse nearby bit her lip to hold back a laugh.

Gregory, unfazed by her teasing, actually looked more serious. “Then you’re my mistress.”

Anathea said nothing.

She figured that with how shameless Gregory was now, if she slapped him, there was a good chance he would just grab her wrist and plant a kiss right on her palm.

The thought made her shiver.

So she stayed far away from him and quietly ate her food.

Gregory sat opposite her, making no further moves. He just watched her eat and occasionally offered more food after she finished.

As Anathea chewed, she caught him out of the corner of her eye.

Though they had only been apart a few days, he seemed thinner. His jawline was more defined.

But she didn’t have time to care. Earlier that afternoon, Theo had messaged her saying the plan was set. He would help her leave tomorrow.

She needed to prepare in advance, and Gregory’s presence was an unexpected variable.

“Do you need something?” Anathea asked.

“Nothing. I just came to see you.”

“Well, since you’ve seen me, you can leave now.”

Gregory paused. His voice was tinged with sorrow. “You really don’t want to be with me?”

Anathea pressed her lips together.

She knew Gregory’s temper well. He was literally insane right now. If she gave him an extreme answer and pissed him off, it would definitely backfire on her.

So she replied calmly, “I’m just tired. I want to rest. Are you going to take away my right to sleep too?”

“Of course not.” Gregory stood up.

Anathea thought he was leaving and was about to relax.

However, he pulled a set of pajamas from his bag. “Go to sleep. I’ll stay by your side. Hope you don’t mind.”

“Of course-”

She didn’t even get the chance to finish saying “I mind” before Gregory continued.

“Good.” Gregory had already taken his pajamas and gone into the bathroom.

Anathea stood frozen and pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth, feeling speechless. Gregorý might be thinner, but his audacity had grown immensely.
