Chapter 551: Chapter 550

A vicious glint appeared in Yoda’s gaze.

This is no ordinary woman.

If I found out that she is behind Nicole’s illness, I’ll make sure she pays for her deed!

With that thought in mind, Yoda decided to investigate Daphne.

Meanwhile, Daphne was heading to Levant after what Portia told her. She wanted to try to ease her relationship with him and try playing hard to get.

She even prepared some of Levant’s favorite snacks and fruits.

Outside Levant’s room, she recalled what Nicole told her. Make him salivate at the sight of his favorite food but don’t feed him.

After mulling over it, she made sure she fully understood what those words meant before entering the room.

“Where is Levant?”

“He’s in his study.”

She arrived at the study with the maid. When she saw he was busy with work, her lips curled up in contentment.

Gently, she called out. “Levant.”

He froze slightly upon hearing her voice. However, he ignored her and resumed working.

The atmosphere turned awkward.

Previously, she would go to Levant and started chattering nonstop.

Levant would give her vague answers before sending her away.

This time, she decided to change her tactic. She was no longer arrogant. Instead, she reminded herself to “play hard to get” before taking the plate of snacks from the maid.

Going over to him, she offered lightly, “Levant, here are some of your favorite snacks. Try it.”

He didn’t even glance at her. Levant thought she’d grumble before leaving in a huff, but she stood rooted to the spot for over thirty minutes.

He was stunned.

After finishing his work, he swiveled around and saw her standing there with the plate in her hands. Strangely, he felt sorry for her.

“Leave it here.”

She nodded and placed the plate on his desk silently. The gentle smile on her face remained.

“Are these stroopwafels?” he asked.

“Yes, your favorite snack,” replied Daphne happily.

Levant decided to give it a try, seeing that she was being nice today. It was because his mother reminded him to treat her well, too.

He reached out for the stroopwafel, but before he could touch it, Daphne reached out and grabbed it.

She smiled at Levant and stuffed the entire piece in her mouth before gobbling it down.

Playing hard to get means depriving him of his favorite snack.

Levant thought nothing of her action. He thought she just wanted a piece. When he reached out for another piece, she took it and stuffed it in her mouth swiftly.

Huh? He had no idea what she was doing.

She waited with the plate of snacks for over thirty minutes. Aren’t the stroopwafels for me?

His expression soured as he stretched his hand out for the third time. This time, Daphne snatched the entire plate away and munched on the stroopwafels in delight.

While she ate, she couldn’t help but lament silently, That idiot’s idea is awesome. Levant loves stroopwafels, but I’m not going to let him taste it. I can do this again tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. I’ll have plenty of chances to see him from now on!

Yes, I’ll keep depriving him of his favorite snack.

At that thought, she praised with her mouth full. “No wonder stroopwafel is your favorite snack. It’s really delicious!”

Levant stared at her like she had gone mad.

He thought she insisted on waiting thirty minutes because she wanted him to try the snack, but she was actually here to piss him off using another method.

After finishing the plate of stroopwafels, Daphne sighed contentedly. “You won’t be mad at me for finishing the plate of stroopwafels, right? I’ll bring more tomorrow.”
