Chapter 193 Talented

The air was infused with various fragrances and was undoubtedly refreshing to the senses.

Belle muttered to herself, "What's that smell? Flowers? And food!"

She followed the enticing aroma, guided by the soft glow of dimly lit candles, leading her all the way to the dining room. Her surprise was evident when she realized someone was sitting at the dining table.

"What the heck! Why didn't you turn on the lights and respond to my calls if you were home? You scared me!"

Grayson was at a loss for words. He had meticulously prepared the setting and dressed up for a romantic candlelight dinner.

He had anticipated that Belle would, at the very least, be moved by his thoughtful gestures. To his surprise, she arrived only to be spooked by his presence and shouted at him.

He could only wonder if she could display elegance in conducting herself as an adult.

Grayson held back his annoyance and approached Belle. "I didn't know that you could be so easily spooked."

She pouted in response.
