Chapter 392: Sticking to the Daily Check-In
Thea Shaw said, "So why are you interested in me, is it because you’ve never seen someone as beautiful as me before?"
Landon Ford: "..."
He let out a light sigh and said softly, "Thea, has anyone ever told you that sometimes you’re quite inconsistent inside and out."
The contrast between Thea Shaw’s appearance and personality was indeed too vast.
When she kept quiet, the world was beautiful.
When she opened her mouth, the sense of a broken image was incredibly strong.
Thea Shaw blinked, "Why are you insulting me?"
Landon Ford laughed lowly.
His laughter had a sexy and charming tone, even if his words weren’t so nice to hear: "Actually, that’s what I like about you, that you’re so straightforward about craving my body."
No pretenses.
Thea Shaw: "..."
Isn’t this ruining my reputation?!
Since when did I crave Landon Ford’s body!
What a load of nonsense!
Thea Shaw sulkily turned back to continue watching the movie, while Landon Ford began his work, occasionally asking her what she wanted for dinner.
Thea Shaw said, "I’m not picky, I’ll eat whatever you make."
As someone who enjoyed being fed, she was conscious of it and never fussed over meals.
Landon Ford mused for a moment before suddenly suggesting, "Let’s go to the retirement home, Grandpa called me a few days ago and asked me to bring you over for a visit. Tonight would be a good chance to cook a meal for him."
"Sure."
Thea had no objections to seeing the old man.
They made these plans, but unexpectedly, Jason Bishop visited that afternoon.
Even though Jason Bishop was Landon Ford’s brother, the receptionist didn’t dare to make decisions on her own, so after calling the secretary department, Landon Ford agreed to let Jason come up.
Jason Bishop once again brought a box of pastries.
He had made exquisite snacks for Landon Ford.
This time outside, Jason Bishop saw Thea Shaw.
Playing the role of a ’professional’ secretary, Thea quickly turned off the movie before Jason came up, standing to one side with a smile, displaying the standard demeanor of a secretary as she looked at Jason Bishop.
"Brother Landon, today I brought you some date cake I made myself."
Jason Bishop set down the pastry box with a shy smile.
In front of outsiders, Landon Ford always wore an unreadable amused smile, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
He didn’t tell Jason to stop bringing things in the future, he only said, "Just leave it there."
Anyway, he wouldn’t eat it.
Thea Shaw, with a subtle smile, observed Jason Bishop, yet internally felt a hint of doubt.
Generally speaking, with things like appearance, she could tell a person’s fate, but intelligence wasn’t so apparent.
For instance, when she looked at Cynthia Chambers, she deduced from her appearance that she was definitely not a simple-minded person, not that she directly saw Cynthia as a super genius.
But there is a slight difference between the appearance of intelligence and normalcy.
Jason Bishop’s appearance indicated a life of smoothness without high peaks.
Such an appearance, paired with the hidden academic record, didn’t really match because the record suggested he would achieve amazing feats if not suppressed.
That’s why Thea was slightly surprised when she saw the hidden record yesterday.
Unless his talent suddenly extinguished halfway—
Thea’s eyes suddenly turned sharp as she thought of something.
Jason Bishop remained oblivious, still showing an admiration-filled expression towards Landon Ford: "Okay, Brother Landon."
Jason Bishop smiled at Thea Shaw too.
