Much like yesterday, Mom sent me breakfast. After I finished it, she left without a word.

Moments later, Ronan showed up.

“Are you surprised to see me? Look what I have prepared for you.” He dangled a hearty breakfast in front of me with a smile.

“Why are you here today? Don’t you have work to do?” I was a little more touched than surprised to see him.

“Do I look like someone who needs to work?” Ronan grinned teasingly.

I furrowed my eyebrows. He does look like he belongs to a rich family. If that’s the case, it’s not abnormal for him to not work. However, I don’t particularly like people like him.

“I have had breakfast,” I informed, even though the breakfast he prepared looked great.

“The one your mother prepared could barely fulfill all your nutritional needs. You might not have a lot of appetites right now because you’re sick, but you need these nutrients. I think you should at least eat a little, okay?”

Seeing how he still insisted on me eating, I sighed and went along with it.

“Even if you don’t need to work, don’t you have anything else better to do?” I spoke as I ate the food.

It was a little weird that he kept visiting me because we barely knew each other.

“I was worried that no one would take care of you, so I came to visit.” Ronan smiled.

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me, especially when I’m leaving the hospital today.” Despite my words, I was still a little grateful that he cared about me.

I knew he had seen me as a friend, and despite the fact that I disliked people like him, I could tell that he was a good person.

“Did you spend the night alone here? Your boyfriend didn’t accompany you?” His tone turned serious.

I trembled a little as I recalled the scene from yesterday. However, I couldn’t reveal my relationship with Michael to anyone. Besides, we weren’t a couple anyway.

“I don’t have a boyfriend.” I shook my head. That wasn’t a lie technically.

“Why not? I look handsome, and I have a good family background. What else are you not happy with me?” He looked at me, upset and anxious.

“Because our age difference is too big. I don’t want to be a cradle-snatcher.” I found it amusing that he was quite stubborn.

“Don’t you know cradle-snatcher love had become a trend lately? Nowadays, there’s a bunch of them out there looking for young and handsome men like me. Or are you saying you prefer an older man as your boyfriend?” Ronan mocked.

“So what if it’s a trend? I still like men who are more mature.” Since a man like Ronan is bound to have a lot of women around him, I bet he’s pissed because he was never rejected by anyone before.

“Mature? Like my cousin who’s 30 years old? And also has an emotionless face that would never change expression, even when he’s looking at a pretty woman? You call that mature?” Ronan looked at me with a sad face, unable to understand why I didn’t like him.

“Maybe I like those types of people.” When he described his cousin, it reminded me of Michael. It may sound pathetic, but only Michael could pull off that absolutely emotionless face in this world.

“That really hurts. I can’t believe I got rejected by a beautiful woman. How sad.” Ronan acted dramatically, despite his goofy expression.

“All right, that’s enough joking around for the day.” I wasn’t in the mood to entertain him anymore.
