Antony’s face darkened, and he fell silent for a while.
He looked at Crystal taking big bites of meat and wondered how someone could have such a good appetite. This was already the third bowl.
“Eat slowly. No one will take your food away!” Antony looked at her as if she could eat a whole pig. “Aren’t you afraid that your stomach will explode?!” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Crystal slowly stop eating. She seemed to be full. “Hic! I’m so full. My stomach feels so heavy.” When she was in Sunshine Village, she often worried about her next meal. And now, there were so many delicious dishes right in front of her. She had to enjoy them all, of course!
“… Who told you to eat so much? You deserve this!”
“It’s very tiring to stay in the wake. You don’t kneel so you don’t know how hard it is.” Thinking of this, Crystal rubbed her knees. “There was no supper at night, and the cold wind was blowing on me. It’s so uncomfortable when I’m hungry.”
Antony felt annoyed, but when he imagined the scene, he thought that the girl was pretending again. “You still wanted the supper? You’ve eaten almost all the food on the altar!”
Crystal was a little embarrassed.
“Sorry to disturb you.” Someone came from the door.
Luke knocked on the door politely and walked in. His eyes fell on the dishes on the table. “Ma’am, there are something outside that requires your presence.”
Crystal immediately stood up and waved at Antony. “Okay, mister. I’ll go first. Thank you for treating me lunch.”
Antony’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was her older brother. How did he end up as some stranger mister?
Crystal followed Luke. “Mr. Luke, what can I do for you?”
“Master White asked me to take you to lunch. It seems you don’t need it now,” Luke said.
Crystal felt that it was a pity. If she had known this earlier, she would have spared room in her stomach. “Um, I’m very full now. I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat anything else. Please say thanks to Master White for me.”
“You can tell him personally.” Luke smiled. “Master White is waiting for you at the Flying Goose Hall.” She had to eat more?
Crystal was brought to Harold’s place. It turned out that his residence was called the Flying Goose Hall.
When she went in, she saw Harold sitting at the long table.
It was dark last night, so she couldn’t see his face clearly. In this moment, she finally saw the man’s perfect appearance.
He was wearing a military green shirt today, and his black trousers made his legs look even more. sturdy and slender. The military boots added a better masculine touch to his appearance.
Compared with the black and white portrait, he was now more handsome and dangerous.
Seeing that Crystal had arrived, Harold flicked the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, lazily rising his line of sight. “Come have lunch.”
Crystal held back her burp and sat down in front of the delicious dishes on the table. Her belly was stuffed now!
Seeing that she was sitting far away, Harold asked slowly, “Yeah? Are you afraid that I will eat you instead of the food?”
Crystal moved her chair, but she didn’t dare to sit too close. The next second, Harold pulled her chair over with a domineering look in his eyes. “It’s just one night and you forgot me already?” Crystal was scared. Her beautiful eyes fluttered in a panic. She licked her lips and mustered up her courage, calling softly, “Ho-honey…”
Harold pinched her chubby little face, teasing, “Have you eaten sweets?”
Crystal thought for a moment. She had just eaten pig trotter. “No…”
“Then why do you always have the scent of sweets on you?”
