Chapter 450

Upon arriving home, Zinnia rushed excitedly into her room with the flowers, whipped out her phone, and started

snapping photos of the bouquet from every angle, her face beaming with joy. Finally, she pressed the flowers to

her cheek and took a selfie.

Her eyes curved into crescents, radiant eyes and pearly white teeth shining in a bright, generous smile. It was

hard to tell which was more beautiful: the flowers or the girl holding them.

After taking the photos, Zinnia edited and posted them on Tweet with the caption: [Lovely flowers, gorgeous

me!]

The moment she posted, likes started pouring in.

MaisieBeauty: [What gorgeous flowers! Where did you get them, Zinnia?]

EthanUpUp: [Gorgeous flowers and an even more gorgeous sweetie.]

BrianBrilliant: [Can't decide-the flowers or you.]

LydiaH: [So beautiful! Major thumbs up for the caption.]

After posting, Zinnia put down her phone. She felt discomfort in her stomach. She needed to find sdigestive

tablets.

Night had already fallen. The spacious living room was brightly lit. Zinnia stealthily cracked open her bedroom

door and peeked out.

She saw no one was there, and Yannis was nowhere in sight. Relaxing, she swung the door wide open, stepped

out, and made a beeline for the cabstoring the first-aid kit.

She’d run out of her homemade digestive tablets and hadn't had tto make more. She planned to check if

there were any left at home. She'd gotten so carried away with happiness today that she hadn't even noticed

she’d overeaten.

Zinnia rarely overate, mostly because Yannis always kept a close watch on her during meals to make sure she

didn’t eat too much. But today, her “two stomachs” excuse actually fooled him. He completely fell for it.

Stepping into the living room and finding no sign of Yannis-he was probably busy in his study-Zinnia immediately

relaxed.

With him gone, she swaggered around, trying to recall where the first-aid kit was kept. Yannis usually took care

of these things, so Zinnia had never really bothered to keep track herself.

She checked the coffee table-nothing. Then the storage cabinet-still nothing. She searched every other cabinet-

nothing. She sighed in frustration. Her stomach felt overstuffed and queasy; she frowned, her face pale. She

wanted to throw up, but just couldn't.

“What are you looking for?” Yannis’s voice cfrom behind her.

“Digestive tablets,” she replied instinctively. still rummaging through the cabinet. But the words had barely

left her mouth when she froze. She suddenly realized that only she and Yannis were in the house.

Zinnia muttered, “I ate too much. Now | feel kinda sick.”

Zinnia was crouched on the floor and the shadow in front of her fell across the ground. Feeling guilty, she turned

around.

“Yannis, why are you out here?” she asked, tilting her head up to look at him, her bright, teary eyes flickering

with guilt. She was too nervous to meet his gaze.

Yannis set his cup down on the kitchen island and crouched beside Zinnia, rummaging through the cabuntil

he pulled out a box of digestive tablets. With a teasing smile, he remarked, “Looks like your second stomach isn’t

digesting so well.”

“Well, it had a little malfunction today,” Zinnia said, batting her eyes. “I ate too much, so digestion is running a

bit slow.”

“Get up,” Yannis said as he stood and offered her his hand.

Zinnia took Yannis’s hand and pulled herself up. As she stood, she noticed a new cup sitting on the kitchen

island. ‘He must've cout here to get swater,’ she thought.

“Sit down. I'll get water,” Yannis said, glancing at her pale face, his expression calm and unreadable.

Noticing how quiet Yannis was, Zinnia didn’t dare say another word. She meekly sat down and waited for him.

Without a word, Yannis walked over to the kitchen island, picked up a small pink cup, filled it with water, and set

it before her. He peeled two digestive tablets, placed them on his palm, and silently held them out to her.

“Yannis, I'm scared when you're silent,” Zinnia said, stealing a glance at his face. His expression was unreadable

but his steady gaze lingered on her. For sreason, Zinnia felt a pang of guilt.

Zinnia obediently took the two digestive tablets from Yannis’s hand, popped them into her mouth, and washed

them down with a sip of water.

Yannis asked gently, “Will these digestive tablets be enough? If not, | can call a doctor for you.”

Zinnia cautiously studied Yannis’s expression. Yannis let out a sigh, his eyes resting on her face, deep concern

swirling beneath the surface.

“Yeah, that’s enough,” Zinnia replied meekly, relieved that Yannis was finally willing to speak to her.

Yannis sat across from her. “Why didn’t you ctowhen you felt unwell?”

Chapter 450

He totally read her mind. Zinnia was at a loss for words. They'd only been together for a few months, yes it

already felt like he knew all her little quirks.

It was a bit uncomfortable from overeating and if she couldn't find the digestive tablets, she'd just let it be. It

was not a big deal and srest would do the trick.

She didn’t want to bother Yannis. If he knew it, he would just fuss over her, finding medicine, making sure she

took it, asking endless questions. That would only waste his time.

“Zinnia Moore,” Yannis called, his voice deep and steady.

“Yannis.” Zinnia immediately sat up straight, nervously pinching her fingertips. He had only ever called her by

her full na handful of times. It made her anxious. There had only been two serious occasions.

The first twas when Zinnia was about to move out of Cloud Harbor and he cback to find her. This was

the second time.

“Zinnia, do you truly seeas a family?” Yannis sat across from her, his eyes searching her face, desperate to

know what she really felt.

“Huh?” Zinnia blinked in bewilderment. She couldn't figure out how things had suddenly jumped from her just

looking for sdigestive tablets to whether she saw him as family.

‘That's a bit of a leap, isn’t it? How did things get so off track? What do these two even have to do with each

other?’ she wondered.

Yannis asked quietly, “If you felt sick from overeating, would you tell your master?”

“Of course, | would,” Zinnia blurted out without thinking. She thought, ‘If anything comes up, | always go to

Master. He keeps everything in order at home. If | can’t find something, he’s always the first person | ask.

‘And if I'm not feeling well, | don’t even have to say a word. Master can always tell right away. He's always

looking out for me."

As soon as Zinnia finished speaking,
