Chapter 227 +25 BONUS Inside the takeout container sat a bowl of creamy chicken noodle soup , paired with a side of buttered toast and a small serving of coleslaw .
The meal looked plain and entirely unappetizing Ariana glanced at it and said , I dont want to eat this .
What do you want , then ? Feigning a thoughtful tone , Ariana said , I remember theres a 24 hour bun shop 100 meters to the left of the hospital .
I really like their buns .
Could you go grab some forme , Mr.
Lodge ? Brian clenched his jaw , visibly reining in his temper .
Wait here , he replied curtly before leaving the room .
As soon as he was gone , Ariana picked up the chicken noodle soup and began eating it spoonful by spoonful .
Mmm , not bad at all .
Outside the hospital , Brian walked down the quiet streets was late at night , and most of the lights in the surrounding buildings were off , leaving only the streetlights illuminating his path .
Following Arianas directions , he turned left at the hospital and walked 100 meters , but no bun shop was in sight .
Irritated , he called Ariana .
The call was quickly answered .
Brian asked in a low voice , Where is this bun shop ? Ariana pretended to think .
Hmm , I might not remember exactly .
Why dont you check on your phone ? Before he could respond , she hung up .
Lets see how long youll run around , she thought smugly .
Brian grudgingly looked up the location on his phone , only to discover the shop was a mile away from his current position .
His expression darkened further .
But at this point , he had no choice but to get a taxi .
Finding a ride late at night near the hospital wasnt easy , so he ended up flagging down a cab along the road .
By the time he reached the bun shop , 20 minutes had passed .
Inside , the shop offered seven or eight different flavors of buns .
It was only then that he realized he had no idea which flavor Ariana liked .
Young man , what do you want ? the shop owner asked as she emerged from the back .
The shop was nearly empty at this hour .
Brian instinctively reached for his phone to ask Ariana , but he decided against disturbing her rest .
Instead , he told the owner , Two of each flavor , to go .
The owner gave him a curious look .
Thats a lot of buns ! Are you eating all of this by yourself , young mah ? Without batting an eye , Brian replied , Theyre for my girlfriend .

Oh .
Shes in the City Hospital , isnt she ? Lots of people stop by here to get buns for their hospitalized loved ones .
You must really care about her coming all the way here late at night .
Youre a good man , young fellow , she chatted amiably as she packed the order .
Brian didnt reply , but as he stood there , he found his thoughts drifting .
If Ariana knew about this bun shop , she must have visited it before .
He realized he didnt know why shed come here , or much else about her past for that matter .
He didnt know what she liked or disliked , yet she seemed to know everything about him- his favorite foods , daily routines , even his schedule down to the minute .
The contrast unsettled him .
As he glanced at the middle aged couple running the shop , tirelessly working late into the night , a thought struck Chapter 227 him .
The quiet persistence of the couple reminded him of Ariana .
