Chapter 519: + - 519+
The creamy crumbly dessert tasted salty on the first bite, a strawberry falling off the top into the plastic container. It was stained in white cream, and it prompted him to pick it up and pop it between his lips.
Angelo didn’t often eat for enjoyment, he didn’t think he had ever had a shortcake. It was a really messy pastry, cream staining his hands and lips.
As he bit into another juicy strawberry, he wondered if he should have cut it into slices before digging in. It wasn’t very big but there were like three tiers with strawberries and cream in between.
Silvia stepped out when he was almost done with the shortcake, she wore a thick robe over her clothes, her hair in a black towel, her familiar features looked softer.
She smiled as she took him in, pulling out a box of napkin from a nearby shelf as she approached him. "You look like you’re having a good time." She noted, reaching out to wipe the cream on his jaw.
Angelo instinctively held out his hands, maybe it was because his belly was full of cake and strawberries but his first thought wasn’t to turn down her help.
Silvia’s black eyes sparkled as she cleaned the cream and strawberry juice from his fingers. "Want me to get you more tomorrow?"
Angelo turned his had to the side as Silvia wiped his cheek. "I want something new."
Silvia nodded, making mental notes to ask the bakery to properly cut up the cake... but she rather liked Angelo silently asking for her help.
