Chapter 121: Dislike? Or Not?
Leon was still wondering how long Haley’s habit of tilting her neck to the right could last when Emily came out of the kitchen with a tray in hand.
“Leon, try this breakfast and see if it suits your taste.”
She placed one serving in front of Leon, another in front of Haley, then sat down and addressed him.
“Alright.”
Leon looked at the neatly presented sandwich before him. Under Emily’s expectant gaze, he took his first bite.
The bread, soft and full of wheat fragrance, was the first to meet his taste buds. As his teeth sank in, the sweetness and tartness of fresh tomatoes mingled with the smoothness of cream. Next came the crispy bacon, rich with oil and pork aroma, before the final bite brought him back to the soft bread once more.
The flavors were distinct, leaning sweet, though the sweetness came naturally from the ingredients. Leon found it acceptable. While the taste was average, it was more than good enough for breakfast.
Most importantly, it was filling. One of these would keep him going for quite a while.
Emily, meanwhile, kept a close eye on him. Though Leon said nothing about the sandwich, the way he chewed and swallowed in large bites was enough to tell her everything.
