Chapter 329 Foodie

\'I like him,\' Lumindra\'s voice suddenly sounded in Zoey\'s head.

\'Shut up! He\'s mine,\' Zoey responded curtly, her expression immediately freezing as she realized what she had just said.

Before Zoey even had time to be embarrassed, Lumindra instantly erupted into laughter, her petite voice sounding in Zoey\'s head.

Just as Zoey was about to reprimand Lumindra, she was brought out of her reverie by the sound of Atticus, who had just suddenly finished his speech.

"So, I guess that\'s that about me, what do you think?" Atticus locked gazes with Zoey and asked.

Zoey instantly panicked, \'Lumi! It\'s your fault I wasn\'t focusing!\' She placed the blame on Lumindra.

Zoey had been completely distracted by Lumindra\'s ramblings in her head that she had missed what Atticus had said.

\'Calm down, hot stuff. I heard him clearly. He said…\' in under a few awkward seconds during which Atticus had been staring at Zoey, Lumindra recounted everything Atticus had said. From his vengeful to his apathetic personality.

As soon as Zoey finished hearing the explanation, she instantly responded to Atticus\'s question, "I see, you truly are worse than me," Zoey said with a slight chuckle, making Atticus also chuckle heartily.

After a few seconds, Atticus suddenly spoke again, "You see, I told you mine\'s probably worse. You don\'t have to worry, Zoey, it\'s alright and normal to be selfish,"

Atticus reassured with a charming smile, making Zoey\'s lips curl up into a warm smile in return. "Thanks," she muttered softly.

Atticus gazed at Zoey\'s smiling figure for a few seconds without saying anything, his lips also curled up into a warm smile.

But he was suddenly brought out of his thoughts by Zoey asking another question, "What do you plan on doing after school?" Zoey suddenly asked while staring closely at Atticus.

Just as Atticus was about to answer, he abruptly paused.

What was he doing after school?

Atticus hadn\'t really thought of this particular topic before. Since he had been reincarnated, Atticus\'s goal had always been revenge.

Keep getting stronger and stronger until you can have your revenge. This was his main goal.

But being asked by Zoey now, Atticus couldn\'t help but give it another thought.

Wasn\'t his life sad?

He was in a magical world, and he was the young master of one of the biggest families in the human domain. Although an alien race was currently attacking the planet, it still didn\'t mean that he couldn\'t enjoy his life.

Atticus couldn\'t help but reflect on how empty his future would be while chasing his revenge.

Atticus entered a deep state of contemplation, his eyes becoming unfocused. Zoey immediately noticed how serious the mood got after she asked that question.

"You don\'t have to share, it\'s fi-" just as Zoey was about to speak, Atticus suddenly interrupted, chuckling a bit before he spoke,

"No no, it\'s fine. It\'s just… after school, I\'m not really sure again what my goal is," Atticus explained.

Zoey mouthed an \'oh\' with her mouth, and noticing how a bit down Atticus was, she quickly decided to change the topic.

Zoey suddenly stretched her hand and grabbed one of the food containers by the side, "So what food did you get?" Zoey said with a small smile while trying to open the container.

Her words brought Atticus out of his thoughts. \'I\'ll think about this later,\' Atticus decided.

Seeing Zoey adorably failing to open one of the containers, Atticus couldn\'t help but smile warmly at the scene. She was just so cute!

Atticus shook his head a little and grabbed the container from her hands, causing her to release a cute pout, muttering under her breath, "I almost had it."

"Of course you do," Atticus chuckled, his voice laden with sarcasm.

As soon as he opened the container, an inviting aroma immediately assaulted both their noses as they both turned their gazes towards the food, both of them subtly drooling.

"Did you make this?" Zoey suddenly asked, her gaze fixed on the food.

Atticus had initially wanted to answer, but he paused. \'Women like men who can cook, right?\' He tried to recall the things he knew women back on earth liked.

Atticus immediately entered a dilemma. He had bought the food from the academy store, but since Atticus knew well that women love men who can cook, he was torn between lying that he made them and actually admitting that he bought them.

\'Sigh, lying is bad on the first date,\' Atticus eventually decided to go with the truth.

"I bought them from the academy store," he admitted.

Seeing the way Zoey absentmindedly nodded her head in response, her attention instead fixed on the food, Atticus chuckled once more, "Are you a foodie?" He suddenly asked.

His words seemed to snap Zoey out of her trance, and her face immediately flushed a deep shade of red as she screamed in a high-pitched voice, "I\'m not a foodie!"

Atticus couldn\'t hold back and immediately burst into laughter, causing Zoey to release another audible \'hmph!\' while looking away, brooding.

"Okay okay, you\'re not a foodie," Atticus raised his hands as though admitting defeat.

\'Stop lying, Zoey. You love food!\' Lumindra\'s voice suddenly sounded in her head.

They were always together, and Lumindra knew exactly how much Zoey loved food.

\'Shut up. He doesn\'t have to know that,\' Zoey instantly replied shamelessly, causing Lumindra to shake her non existent head.

After a few seconds, the laughter died out, and Atticus grabbed the plates and started serving the food, much to Zoey\'s delight.

They both started eating while making small talk and exchanging a few laughs.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.
