Chapter 1193
At that moment, Kevin and Blake remembered the soup in the kitchen. Kevin, still naked, carried Blake
in a deep embrace, eliciting a startled moan from her as they made their way to the kitchen. The soup
in the pot had boiled over when they turned it off, creating a mess.
After their final round, Blake lay in bed for about an hour before waking up. They went downstairs for
dinner. She took him to a steakhouse in a mall across their neighborhood. A hearty and comforting
meal was perfect for this winter season. The food was still steaming hot when served.

her? She’ll definitely like you because you’re tall and handsome. But you have to be nice to me front of
her.”
Since Kevin had injuries, he could not eat fatty food, so Blake ordered some light and comforting
dishes. Not knowing his preferences, she avoided ordering foods she disliked and opted for more
standard meats and vegetables.
Blake was used to Kevin’s silence and kept talking, interpreting his silence as tacit agreement.
“I’ve never eaten these before,” Kevin said.
Blake was surprised. “How? These are common foods. You can find steakhouses anywhere.”
Kevin was silent, lost in thought. He broke the silence and said, “In my
memory, such foods were a luxury. Where I lived, it was a dark, damp basement with nothing but rats
running from the sewers…”
In Kevin’s memory, there were remnants of corpses and dying people. For him, having enough to eat
was a struggle. If it had not been for Zach, he might never have left that place and never had
everything he has now. And he certainly would not have met Blake.
In Kevin’s eyes, Blake was wonderful. She was cheerful, kind, lively, and had an unyielding spirit, like a

smile always reminded him of his painful past.
Many people flattered Kevin for his position as Zach’s assistant. This was why he always thought Blake
and Liam were better suited. Kevin worried that when Blake found out about his past, she would stop
smiling at him.
He thought, ‘It is all an illusion. Like a bubble, waiting to burst. Once it does, everything will return to
reality, and Blake will avoid me.’
Caught off guard by Kevin’s response, Blake suddenly smiled again. She said, “Let’s not talk about this.
If you don’t want to go, we won’t. Let’s just enjoy our meal.”
There was a flicker of an indefinable emotion in Blake’s eyes as she
lowered her head.
