Chapter 88: Incredibly Charming
After a while, Iris finally finished her chicken and salad. It was only then that she noticed Xavier had only eaten salad. She felt concerned, seeing him looking pale and yet consuming only salad.
"Xavier, you should eat more. I’m worried you’ll get sick, and—" She paused, fearing she might offend him if she mentioned that he seemed weak.
He felt extremely pleased hearing her concern. "I’m on a diet. I only eat once a day."
Iris was taken aback. How could he be on a diet when he appeared as sickly as a patient? She might have genuinely believed he was unwell if not for his bright golden eyes.
She wanted to urge him to stop this diet but was concerned he might see her as someone trying to control him. So, she decided to keep her worries to herself.
"What time do we plan to return to Silenthill?" She asked casually, trying to shift the conversation.
"Do you still have matters to attend to here? If not, we can leave around noon..." Xavier desired to prolong their stay, but he had only obtained permission for one night. He didn’t want to risk losing Grandma Gray’s trust by extending their holiday here.
"That sounds great! It’ll give us more time to enjoy the sea..." Iris replied as she rose from her seat and followed Xavier to the seating area. They continued to chat while enjoying the amazing view outside.
Xavier turned his gaze to her, "Iris, do you like this place that much?"
