The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 26

Chapter 0026 I was surprised by the dinner request and my brows shot upward to my hairline .

You want to have dinner with me ? I asked .

Theres plenty of food for you as well , Madam , the maid added , a wide grin on her face , I looked back at Matt for confirmation , and he looked so small and almost nervous at that moment .

I wondered what it was about .

My dad is never home for dinner and my sister hasnt bee home since she started dating that Ethan guy , Matt confessed .

Sometimes Butler Adam will eat with me , but not always .

I get lonely … My heart tugged for the child , and I put my hand on his shoulder , reassuringly .

I would love to have dinner with you , Matt , I told him .

Then afterward , we can play that game , and Ill show you how to beat that level .

He beamed at my promise and jumped to his feet .

Come on ! He said , grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the kitchen .

The dining table was set up for only Matt and it made me sad to see the lonely sight .

The maid quickly walked in behind us and set another place for me , giving me a sheepish smile .

I sat at the table beside Matt as the maid poured us some juice before serving the meal .

It w t was a delicious stew ; I hadnt realized how hungry I was until it was right in front of me .

My stomach was growling by the time I had my first bite of the food .

While we ate , I listened to Matt talk about school , his interests , and about some of the friends he has .

I had to admit that I enjoyed spending time with the little gay .

He seemed pleased to have me there keeping him company and I enjoyed that I could do that for him .

After our meal , I offered to clean the table and dishes , but the maids insisted on doing it for us .

Its their job , Matt explained .noveldrama

That doesnt mean we cant be helpful , I told him .

He shrugged .

Can we play the game now ? He asked , bouncing in his seat .

I smiled at him .
