Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 120

Just as Annie's head throbbed from overthinking, she felt a pair of warm hands gently press against her forehead.

Her turbulent thoughts stilled. Slowly, she came back to her senses and looked up.

At some point, Christian had returned and was now hovering in a crouch before her.

He carefully placed the food containers on the coffee table, his voice extremely soft as he said, "It's time to eat, Ann."

Looking at the exquisite spread, Annie noticed that all the dishes were her favorites. But at that moment, she had no appetite at all.

She shook her head, her voice hoarse as she said, "I can't eat."

Christian didn't force her to have some, simply sitting on the carpet beside her and holding her slightly cold hands in his.

With a sigh, he spoke in a tone meant to soothe and persuade. "Ann, no matter how bad things are, you still have to eat. To be honest, I've always been rather lucky. I'll share half of my luck with you, so don't lose heart."

Annie was taken aback. Then, after being tense all day, she couldn't help but smile faintly. His words amused her, and she didn't want him to worry about her anymore.

Annie let out a sigh and sat up on the couch. "Okay. I'll eat."

Christian's eyes lit up. He immediately rose and attentively put food on a plate for her.

Picking up a fork, Annie ate slowly. Halfway through, she suddenly froze mid-motion.

A thought sprang into her mind.

She wondered if Irene was already aware of this incident. After all, the scandal had gone viral, flooding the Internet with slander directed at her.

The thought of Irene worrying herself sick made Annie's heart leap into her throat.

Fortunately, Irene had recently been discharged and was now recuperating at the Steward residence, far from the center of the storm.

Christian seemed to realize what she was thinking.
