Evelyn went upstairs in a daze. The bag she carried in hand weighed a little.
But at this moment, she felt that her body seemed to be light, like a balloon full of hydrogen. The plastic bag filled with food was like the string attached to the end of the balloon. It was tied to her so that she wouldn't fly to the sky.
"This guy..." After quite a while, she finally managed to say, "Why is he so warm?"
She put the plastic bag on her desk and took out all the food inside one by one.
There were at least more than a dozen kinds of food in total. Just like what Lawrence told her just now, he bought the food from the canteen in the school. There were small teamed buns, and a box of rice porridge and eggs.
Of course, the rest were the snacks that girls preferred, such as potato chips and plums. Although they were not as high-end as the snacks he bought for her before, he bought these for her in such a short time and she was very satisfied.
Moreover... she was a foodie!
"Alas!" She sighed softly, "I just needed a little more time just now. Otherwise... I might have told him my answer, right?"
After that, she covered her face with both hands, a little shy and excited.
"I don't know if he will be scolded since he has come back secretly."
As soon as she said this, she felt that her face was a little hot, "Look at you! What's wrong with you now? Have you begun to worry about him? If you're really with him in the future, won't you be very protective of him? Ha-ha, you good-for-nothing!"
Although she said so, she took the small steamed buns that Lawrence had bought for her and began to eat them slowly.
She took one bite, and the food had not reached her empty stomach, but she mumbled, "Even if I'll be protective of him, so what? He was in such a hurry to leave, but he bought breakfast for me! Should't I be protective of him? Should I watch aside or even clap my hands when he is blamed or beaten? That is too heartless!"
"Forget it. It's such a cold day. I'd better finish the breakfast first. Later, I'll call Elizabeth and tell her about it... Ahem..."
James didn't see Elizabeth in the bedroom, so he looked for her upstairs. In the end, he had to go downstairs.
As soon as he went downstairs, Lydia, who was sitting in the living room and insisted on watching a romance drama with John, immediately asked, "Why do you come down so sneakily?" Didn't James see that she was asking John to learn the latest dating skills? What was James doing here? What an annoying boy!
James glanced at the TV and raised his eyebrows in disgust.
At this time, a predictable scene was being played on TV. The heroine accidentally fell down. The hero, who had a warm heart but treated heroine coldly on the surface couldn't help but pull her. As a result, he was grabbed by her and both of them fell to the ground. Then they happened to kiss each other...
Ahem!
What an old-fashioned plot!
Wasn't the scriptwriter afraid that the audience would get sick of it?
He had never been a director, but he thought that even the TV dramas directed by him would be much more wonderful than this!
However... Lydia was watching it with great interest and even John...
James glanced at John. Looking at John's helpless face, he... could only think in heart, "Dad, mom is your own wife. No matter how reluctant you are, you have to watch such a boring TV drama with her, ha-ha..."
John probably really didn't like this kind of TV drama, "I'll go out, too. If Elizabeth goes out, Jimmy can find her as soon as possible with my help." After that, he was ready to get up.
Seeing this, Lydia grabbed his arm in a hurry, "Hey! John, where are you going? The TV drama is still being played!"
"I'm going to look for Elizabeth."
Lydia was not anxious at all. She even waved her hand with a smile, "Elizabeth can't go far. She is always very obedient. If she really wants to go out, do you think she won't tell us in advance? Don't worry. She will go to the small garden at most and won't go out of this neighbourhood."
John frowned and wanted to say something more, but Auntie Chang came over with the fruits at this time, "Oh, Elizabeth went to the garden to pick up a phone call. I just brought her a glass of warm water. It seemed that she had head good news and she was laughing happily."
Hearing this, John knew that his plan had failed. Then he turned his head sullenly and took a look at the TV. He knitted his eyebrows more tightly, but he sat down.
James almost laughed out loud when he saw John's appearance.
Ahem!
If he really laughed out loud, Lydia would not let him go, and John would definitely give him a lesson. Therefore, he had to endure himself. After all, he could be at ease if he repressed his smile.
"Then I'll go out and have a look." After that, James turned around and was ready to leave. However, before he took a step, he could not help but add.
"Take your time and enjoy the TV drama."
