Chapter 329 Foodie

?Zoey listened quietly with a small smile as Atticus kept on giving insights about his personality.

"I really hate it when I'm minding my own business, and then some random buffoon just comes and starts something with me. It's really annoying, which is why I always make sure to nip the problem in the bud before any of them could actually pose a problem."

'I like him,' Lumindra's voice suddenly sounded in Zoey's head.

'Shut up! He's mine,' Zoey responded curtly, her expression immediately freezing as she realized what she had just said.

Before Zoey even had time to be embarrassed, Lumindra instantly erupted into laughter, her petite voice sounding in Zoey's head.

Just as Zoey was about to reprimand Lumindra, she was brought out of her reverie by the sound of Atticus, who had just suddenly finished his speech.

"So, I guess that's that about me, what do you think?" Atticus locked gazes with Zoey and asked.

Zoey instantly panicked, 'Lumi! It's your fault I wasn't focusing!' She placed the blame on Lumindra.

Zoey had been completely distracted by Lumindra's ramblings in her head that she had missed what Atticus had said.

'Calm down, hot stuff. I heard him clearly. He said...' in under a few awkward seconds during which Atticus had been staring at Zoey, Lumindra recounted everything Atticus had said. From his vengeful to his apathetic personality.

As soon as Zoey finished hearing the explanation, she instantly responded to Atticus's question, "I see, you truly are worse than me," Zoey said with a slight chuckle, making Atticus also chuckle heartily.

After a few seconds, Atticus suddenly spoke again, "You see, I told you mine's probably worse. You don't have to worry, Zoey, it's alright and normal to be selfish,"

Atticus reassured with a charming smile, making Zoey's lips curl up into a warm smile in return. "Thanks," she muttered softly.

Atticus gazed at Zoey's smiling figure for a few seconds without saying anything, his lips also curled up into a warm smile.

"Of course you do," Atticus chuckled, his voice laden with sarcasm.

As soon as he opened the container, an inviting aroma immediately assaulted both their noses as they both turned their gazes towards the food, both of them subtly drooling.

"Did you make this?" Zoey suddenly asked, her gaze fixed on the food.

Atticus had initially wanted to answer, but he paused. 'Women like men who can cook, right?' He tried to recall the things he knew women back on earth liked.

Atticus immediately entered a dilemma. He had bought the food from the academy store, but since Atticus knew well that women love men who can cook, he was torn between lying that he made them and actually admitting that he bought them.

'Sigh, lying is bad on the first date,' Atticus eventually decided to go with the truth.

"I bought them from the academy store," he admitted.

Seeing the way Zoey absentmindedly nodded her head in response, her attention instead fixed on the food, Atticus chuckled once more, "Are you a foodie?" He suddenly asked.

His words seemed to snap Zoey out of her trance, and her face immediately flushed a deep shade of red as she screamed in a high-pitched voice, "I'm not a foodie!"

Atticus couldn't hold back and immediately burst into laughter, causing Zoey to release another audible 'hmph!' while looking away, brooding.

"Okay okay, you're not a foodie," Atticus raised his hands as though admitting defeat.

'Stop lying, Zoey. You love food!' Lumindra's voice suddenly sounded in her head.

They were always together, and Lumindra knew exactly how much Zoey loved food.

'Shut up. He doesn't have to know that,' Zoey instantly replied shamelessly, causing Lumindra to shake her non existent head.

After a few seconds, the laughter died out, and Atticus grabbed the plates and started serving the food, much to Zoey's delight.

They both started eating while making small talk and exchanging a few laughs.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.
