Chapter 205 The scent on Betty now was unfamiliar... Part1

As I sat there, fork in hand, my gaze was locked onto Betty's eyes.

Betty, a woman seemingly flawless in the eyes of others, now appeared so changed.

I wanted to voice the whirlwind of questions in my mind, but fear of a misunderstanding held me back.

What if it led to a huge mix-up?

How would I explain myself to Betty?

Yet, the frustration inside me seemed to find no outlet, leaving me unsure of what to do.

Betty seemed slightly embarrassed by my intense stare, her eyes darting away, avoiding mine.

This evasiveness made me uncomfortable; I wished she would meet my gaze with the same intensity, as her avoidance only fueled my overthinking.

"I'm full..." I muttered, my appetite vanishing as I noticed Betty's shifting gaze.

I had only eaten half of my meal.

"Okay..." Betty responded softly, taking the dishes and walking out, only to return shortly with a cup of hot water for me.

"I'll clean up..." she said, handing me the hot water before leaving the room.
