With a few words, Nelson almost reverses the situation.
Hannah feels nervous.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Queenie intervenes in a timely manner, glares at Nelson, and says, "Can you use your cold calculation in a proper place? Why are you so suspicious. You’d better no consider yourself as Holmes!"
"This is not calculation, but smartness!"
"Like I care."
"Queenie, I am doing this for your good! Stupid Woman!"
"You..."
Seeing the two people bickering, Hannah feels relieved.
"Mr. Sam is also doing this for your safety, so don't blame him."
She glances at Nelson, "Top Loneliness is the private box of the Greens. Sherry was a good friend with me when she was alive. She took me there before. The waiters there knew me. If you still worry about it, we can find a private place to talk about it later."
Nelson frowns, "No need."
He stops questioning, but there is still a bit of suspicion in his eyes.
After chatting for a while, Queenie takes Nelson to fetch a snack,"Hannah is right, this Souffle is really delicious, try it."
Nelson holds a plate of Souffle and looks at the strawberries dotted on it thoughtfully, "How does she know that you like to eat Souffle the most? You told her?"
"What are you thinking about?" Queenie rolls her eyes up, "You are still doubting that Hannah tries to take an advantage of me? Is it hard to know that I like to eat Souffle? Any fan of me knows this. Just check it online."
"What about the mung bean soup before? You said that the taste is exactly the same as that made by Sherry. Also, what about the smoothie shop at the cinema hall that you went to with her? You always only go to that one. What a coincidence!"
"I told you! she knew Sherry, and Sherry told her."
"When did Sherry know her? She even told her that much? But have you ever heard Sherry mentioned this person?"
Nelson asks a series of questions, and Queenie frowns. "What are you trying to say?"
"She must want to get something from you." Nelson's gaze falls on Hannah's back in the distance.
Queenie glances at him, pinching him angrily, "Do you have persecutory delusion? What can get from me? Money or sex?"
Hannah is not a man, so she couldn’t marry her to steal her family property.
It would be even impossible if it were for sex. Although it’s open society now and lesbians are more accepted, Hannah is married, and she and her husband are living a happy life.
"I don't know, that's why I asks you to beware."
Queenie was waiting for him to explain, but she didn't expect to hear such an illogical reply. So she stares at him for a while, and then suddenly puts down the plate in her hand and says in sulk, "I really regret asking you to come with me here."
