In the following days, Zinnia fell into a simple routine-attending school, returning home, and learning medicine

from Nathan.

The New Year caround soon, and the school gave everyone a day off.

Zinnia politely declined the dinner invitations from Sofia and Yvette. With Nathan finally back, she wanted to

spend as much twith him as she could.

“Nathan, what are we having today?” Zinnia woke up early and immediately smelled the delicious aroma of food

in the air.

“I made onion soup. Go freshen up, and I'll cook gnocchi soup.” Nathan was standing in the kitchen, dealing with

vegetables. As Zinnia cout of her room, he looked at her with a faint smile.

Since bringing Zinnia home, Nathan had been personally preparing all her meals. It felt just like their days in that

small town. No matter when Zinnia woke up, there was always a fresh breakfast waiting for her.

Nathan's company was based overseas, so he didn’t have to go to the office in Jinston. He worked from home

every day and didn’t go out much. He just waited at hfor Zinnia to cback.

Every day when Zinnia returned from school, she was greeted by the delicious home-cooked meals.

“Alright,” Zinnia ducked back into her room to wash up and change her clothes. When she cout, the gnocchi

soup was ready.

“What do you feel like eating today? We're running low on groceries, so let's go shopping later,” Nathan said as

he sat down beside her.

“Sure.” Zinnia scooped up the gnocchi soup, then suddenly turned her head as if she had just remembered

something. “Have you had anything yet, Nathan?”

“I have.” Nathan nodded. “When does your school break start?”

“Just ten more days until exams, and then we'll be on break,” Zinnia said between bites of the food, mentally

counting the days. Only ten days left, and then their holiday would begin. The first semester of her senior year

was almost over.

Soon, they went to the supermarket downstairs. Zinnia grabbed a shopping cart and eagerly led Nathan straight

to the snack aisle. “Trust me. This one is amazing.”

“We can buy them, but don’t eat too much,” Nathan reminded her. He took over the cart, walking beside her

with a tender smile as she picked out her favorite snacks one by one.

“Nathan, these are not srandom snacks. Yannis had a factory specially make them extra healthy, so you can

eat them too.” Zinnia grabbed three packs of cucumber-flavored chips.

They agreed that while they were outside, they would act like family. After all, Nathan treated Zinnia like his

own little sister.

“Looks like Yannis takes good care of you,” Nathan said. He picked up a bag of chips from the cart and glanced at

the ingredients, only to find they were all natural.

“Yeah, | wanted to eat those snacks but he said no. Eventually, he gave in and had a factory develop these

special ones for me,” Zinnia said with a sweet smile, tossing two more bags of tomato-flavored chips into the

cart.

Nathan set down the groceries and quietly walked beside her. He asked gently, “Zinnia, what do you think of

Yannis?”

“He’s a very good person,” Zinnia said without a second thought.

There was a faint change in Nathan's expression, but it was too subtle to name.

“Nathan, what else do we need?” Zinnia glanced at their cart full of snacks, suddenly remembering that Nathan

had mentioned they were supposed to buy groceries.

“Let's go to the produce section,” Nathan said, pushing the cart as they changed course.

“Anything you want?” Nathan asked gently. The produce section brimmed with a wide variety of vegetables, and

he carefully selected the freshest ones, while Zinnia walked beside him, munching on a tube of chips.

“Don’t take so many veggies. I'm sick of them. I've been eating them every day.” Seeing Nathan reaching for the

vegetables, Zinnia hurriedly grabbed his arm.

“Let's get these instead.” Before Nathan could respond, Zinnia guided him toward the section with potatoes,

carrots, and cucumbers. She had enough of those leafy greens.

Seeing the lingering reluctance on her face, Nathan couldn't help but chuckle softly. “Just six more months,

Zinnia. Then you can eat whatever you want.”

As Nathan picked out carrots, he kept smiling. He was amused by how fussy she was and kept reassuring her

that once she was an adult, she wouldn't have to suffer through vegetables anymore.

“Six months? That's still ages away. Let's get sother veggies instead. | just don’t want to eat this anymore,”

Zinnia said.

Seeing Nathan holding the carrots, Zinnia immediately started listing the dishes she wanted. “Can we have

carrot soup tonight?”

“Sure. Anything else?” Nathan asked.

Zinnia had a whole list of things she wanted to cat. “I want to have lamb chops, grilled steak, and meat stew.”

“Is that all?” Nathan asked gently, glancing down at her.

“| feel like you're acting a little weird today. You're agreeing to everything | say.” Zinnia tilted her head up to look

at him, her eyes full of curiosity. “Are you hiding something from me?”

However, before Nathan could respond, Zinnia continued, “Are you leaving again? You were the slast time.

You gave in to everything | said right before you disappeared.”

“Go for it. | haven't seen his face, but those eyes are absolutely stunning. No doubt the face under that mask is

amazing too,” another girl said.

“No, | can’t. I'm all talk but no courage when it counts,” said the girl.

“Con, you're pretty. Why not give it a shot? It's rare to find someone you really click with. Go get him.”

As Nathan and Zinnia were selecting vegetables, they heard the chatter behind them.

“Sorry, I'm not looking for a relationship right now,” Nathan declined gently.

“Oh, sorry to bother you,” the girl stammered. Her cheeks went bright red when he said no, and the way he

gently refused left her feeling a little sad inside.

She left with her friend immediately.

Zinnia wasn't surprised at all. She just asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, “Nathan, do you have a crush on

someone?”

When they lived in that small town, plenty of local girls asked Nathan for his number, but he never said yes to

any of them. Now, at 27, he was still single.
