Maxwell Peary slightly curled his lips and sat there holding chopsticks, absentmindedly poking at the sweet and sour spare ribs on the plate in front of him.

How could it be any different? The whole room was filled with the smell of sweet and sour.

He habitually ordered the same dishes as Nia Mitchell, as if smelling the aroma in the air could convince him that Nia was right there beside him.

But...

It’s still not the same.

Eating alone, without little Rabina’s adorable presence, was extremely boring.

"I said, it must be different. Uncle must be very happy, finally able to eat the dishes he likes!"

In the past, both of them had just two food boxes, and the dishes delivered were quite limited.

So the CEO would just order everything little Rabina liked, only a few were his favorites.

Now she finally doesn’t need to eat with him, the CEO is definitely eating what he likes.

Nia thought this was just natural.

"Yeah, very happy."

He sat there, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, both sour and sweet.

Really can’t understand why little Rabina has such a weird taste.

"Hmph, you actually admitted it!"

Nia instantly pouted, looking adorably peeved.

Even in his own company, Maxwell could feel this.

Without speaking further, he continued eating his meal, bite by bite.

"Uncle called me, is there something you want to say?"

Nia realized she had gone off-topic, stuck out her little tongue, and hurriedly asked.

Maxwell’s eyes flashed with affection.

"Nothing in particular, just wanted to talk to you while eating."

Nia was stunned, this is...

Ahhh!

So embarrassing.

Such a simple sentence, yet she felt her face turn red upon hearing it.

Instantly, as she sat there, her movements stiffened a bit while eating.

"Didn’t you used to say I was noisy?"

Now he just wants to hear her voice, hmph!

"Yeah, but I’ve gotten used to it."

Nia: ......

Full of frustration!

She felt that the CEO had changed.

The old him would never say something like that.

"Uncle, if there’s nothing you need, I’ll hang up; you’re wasting my time, I just want to eat quietly."

Nia pouted, and after saying this, was about to hang up the phone.

"I miss you."

Bang!

Nia could hardly believe her ears, but just now, that unmistakable voice from the other end of the phone belonged to the CEO.

Deep and hoarse, with a unique magnetism.

A single sentence, such a simple word, made her heartbeat suddenly accelerate with a thud. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

So strange...

Such a strange feeling, why so flushed at this moment.

"I..."

Nia’s tongue was tied, she didn’t quite know what to say.

Why would she...

Ahhh!

"You’re supposed to say, you miss me too."

Maxwell chuckled lightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, leaned back on the sofa, and relaxed completely.

"I don’t, who misses you."

Instantly, Nia exploded.

Such an embarrassing thing, she would never admit it.

Besides, she didn’t actually miss him,

Hmph!

Maxwell didn’t speak further, just listened quietly to the silence in the phone.

After yelling, Nia cautiously pricked up her ears, wanting to catch the CEO’s reaction.

But...

As time passed, there was no movement on the other end of the phone.

Huh?

Could it be that the CEO hung up the phone?
