When Audrey said she wanted to buy groceries, she meant to do that alone. But Bryson got out of the car and walked towards the market. What was going on?
However, Bryson was already waiting, and she couldn't tell him to sit back in the car. So she just followed him.
As soon as they entered the market, they heard the cries of the vendors and the sound of quarreling.
It was a big market with all sorts of groceries. Stalls selling vegetables, aquatic products, and poultry were in different sections.
Audrey spotted a stall offering fresh vegetables. Without thinking, she took Bryson's hand and pulled him along towards the stall.
"The vegetables over there look fresh."
Apart from studying case materials, cooking was also what Audrey enjoyed. Buying groceries could bring her pleasure, too. Her eyes lit up when she saw the fresh vegetables.
Bryson was going to go straight ahead. Suddenly, Audrey took his hand. Looking at their hands, he raised his eyebrows.
Audrey didn't seem to notice this at all.
She let go of Bryson's hand when they reached the stall. And then she started to pick vegetables carefully.
Bryson glared at the vegetables on the stall and frowned.
He was a little jealous. It took him some effort to hold Audrey's hand, yet the vegetables could enjoy her soft touch easily.
Audrey, busying in picking vegetables, didn't notice the change in Bryson's expression.
After picking out the vegetables she needed, Audrey handed them to the vendor to weigh.
The vendor told them the total price. Bryson, standing beside Audrey, handed him the money.
"What? I'll pay!" Audrey hurriedly said.
"I've paid. Also, what's the difference?"
The vendor took the money and handed the change to Bryson. He looked at them with a smile.
"Sir, your wife is so pretty. You're very lucky."
Bryson smiled and said, "Yes, I'm lucky."
Audrey didn't know what to say.
Before she could explain, Bryson pulled her away, with the bags in his hand.
Audrey looked at Bryson awkwardly, "He misunderstood our relation. Why didn't you explain?"
"There's no need to explain. Why waste my breath?"
Words failed Audrey.
He had a point. Still, it didn't feel right. She couldn't help feeling he had taken advantage of her.
"What else do you want to buy?"
"Grandma likes chicken. But most chicken available is not very fresh. Let's go and buy some fish. I saw the stalls selling fish. I'll cook sweet and sour squirrel fish tonight."
"OK."
After buying a fish, they walked towards the car.
When they got to the car, Audrey felt in her pocket and hurriedly handed the fish to Bryson.
"Take this."
Bryson grabbed Audrey's hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I left my badge at the stall we bought fish. I'll go back and get it. I'll be right back."
"I'll go with you."
