Ethan turned another page with a small smile.
"I'm just a part-tworker with no fixed hours.I just happened to be free for the day."
"I see." Jpursed her lips.
"All right, stop talking and finish your work quickly."
Ethan walked up to her and gently knocked the book he was holding against the top of her head.
"But I only said two words!"
Jgrumbled, ducking her head and shooting him a glare.
Ethan chuckled softly and padded out of the room.
Without the distraction he provided, Jwas able to concentrate on her designs.
Soon, the light drizzle stopped completely.
Its pitter- patter was replaced by the occasional sound of a drop falling from the leaves and into the puddles on the ground.
The air had becbalmy after the rain, and Jfelt her body grow hot and sticky with sweat.
By the tEthan caround again, it was already dusk.

"What is this supposed to mean, Janet?" he asked, his face stern.
"You didn't even touch the noodles I brought for lunch."
This time, he was carrying a plate of what looked like meat balls.He set it on the table and crossed his arms over his chest.
Ethan stared pointedly at the bowl of noodles that had grown cold and soggy, then back to the stubborn woman in front of him.
Only then did Jremember that he had brought her something for lunch.
"Sorry, I forgot," she said sheepishly.
She glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was already six in the evening.

Jhadn't felt a pang of hunger at all.
Besides, she didn't have much tleft to waste on eating.She pressed her lips together and looked up at Ethan with some
caution.
"I'd like to eat later.I should finish my drafts first." Ethan raised an eyebrow.
Before she knew it, he had thrown himself on the chair next to her.
"You can't just skip meals," he scolded.
"Here, I combined grains, vegetables, and fish to make these tiny balls.It's bite- size and should be convenient enough for
you.You can just draw while eating, it won't hold you up for too long."

Jput her pen down and looked at the dubious- looking balls on the plate.They didn't look all that appetizing.
In fact, they didn't took like balls, at all.
Ethan had probably used too much force in shaping them.
Still, he looked rather adorable in his black T-shirt and floral apron.
"Open your mouth."
The sound of spoon scraping against porcelain plate rang in the air as he scooped out a ball and held it against Janet's mouth.
"I can eat by myself," she muttered, blushing.
And yet, she still opened her mouth obediently.Ethan let out a small snort.
"You little liar," he teased.
"It's your fault! You fedfirst!"
Jretorted in between chews.
A smile was tugging on the corners of her lips, and her eyes twinkled with amusement.
"Sure, sure."

Ethan wasn't interested in an argument.He scooped out another ball and held it up for her just as she finished swallowing.
"Why are you being so nice today?" Jasked after gobbling the second ball.
His thoughtfulness was endearing.
"Wasn't I always nice?"
Ethan countered, leaning forward with narrowed eyes.
Jgiggled before planting a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
"You've always been the best."
