No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1668 Arnold Simmons Extra (34)

When he doesn’t smile, his dark eyes seem even deeper, like the icy surface of the sea under the night sky of winter.

The churning sea sends the chill to the world of men.

But Hannah knows him too well, even from the first time they met when he appeared so aloof and indifferent, what she thought was only how to pull him off his pedestal.

Compared to a few years later, the current Arnold Simmons still carries the greenness of youth.

Even though it’s slight, it can still be captured by Hannah.

She’s not afraid of him at all, "What if I can’t say it?"

"Can’t say it?" Arnold Simmons chuckled, drawing out his words, "If you can’t say it, skip lunch then, starve."

Hannah purses her lips, seriously saying, "Skipping lunch is bad for your health."

Arnold Simmons doesn’t care at all, "Just this once, it won’t have any effect." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He curved his lips into a smile. The overhead lights weren’t as dazzling as the sunlight outside, as if scattered, lightly and fragmentarily falling upon his features, as though even diluting the color of his dark eyes somewhat.

The smile is faint, swaying the heart.

After thinking it over, Hannah didn’t fret anymore, she looked down at the menu on the table and then picked something relatively cheap.

She didn’t want to arouse Arnold Simmons’s suspicions.

Watching the girl’s slow movements, Arnold Simmons raised an eyebrow, thought of something, but pretends not to know and handed the menu to the waiter next to him, with an added comment, "And bring her a serving of ice cream."

Although it’s a noodle shop, the store has a full array of desserts and beverages ready, but they’re not cheap either.

During their student days, sometimes ten yuan was enough for a meal, and the cost of their meal today would take almost a week’s meal money.

The waiter nodded and turned to leave.

Hannah hesitated before speaking, "I don’t need..."

"By the time you finish your meal, that ice cream shop will be too crowded to get into," Arnold Simmons said.

He still remembered her mention of wanting to eat ice cream earlier.

Despite his attractive looks, nonchalant and rakish demeanor, when he gets serious, he has a completely different appearance.

Hannah almost doubted if Arnold Simmons had recalled something.

"Actually, I don’t have to eat it," she thought for a moment, "after eating something hot and then something cold, my stomach can easily feel uncomfortable."

Arnold Simmons put away his phone, looking straight at her, as if seeing through her thoughts, he casually said, "Don’t worry, one lunch won’t bankrupt me."

He pointed it out directly, without a hint of annoyance or embarrassment on his face.

As if it was just a casual remark.

Having said that, he looked back down at his phone again.

The air conditioning in the store blew away the external heat, but couldn’t dispel the heaviness in the heart.

Before long, the noodles were served.

Hannah picked up her chopsticks, her movements somewhat distracted.

Arnold Simmons tapped the table lightly with his finger, reminding her, "Eat."

Only then did Hannah take her first bite.

The noodles tasted indeed good, quite similar to those she had tasted locally before, just slightly adjusted to suit the palate of Hai City’s people.

But Hannah still felt it was a bit expensive.

"Next time, let’s go to that place in the alley, shall we?" Hannah spoke in a soft voice.

Arnold Simmons lifted his gaze to look at her, his voice lazy and teasing, "Thinking about asking me out again so soon?"

Hannah was at a loss for words.

How had she never noticed this narcissistic side of Arnold Simmons before?

She sounded like some desperately infatuated girl in his words.

"No, you’ve treated me twice, I have to return the favor," she smiled politely.
