"Okay, Linda, then I will keep your name under wraps for now. I will take your suggestion and announce you as my adopted granddaughter, okay? Richard replied after a brief moment of silence.
"Thanks, grandpa." Linda smiled sweetly.
Richard left after chatting with Linda for a while and instructing her to take the medicine on time.
Linda dined with Anna, Lily and Nelson in her yard that evening.
After dinner, Nelson went to work. After all, he was the butler at Richard's, and he had a lot of responsibilities to handle. Therefore, he could not stay any longer.
In fact, Linda had a feeling that Nelson only stayed to see more of Lily.
'Love does tend to bud regardless of reason and time, ' Linda thought as she saw his increased interest in her.
Because Linda's face was already healing, Anna had also relaxed on the rules, allowing Linda to eat Cola chicken wings once a week, but forbidding her from eating too much.
Today, Richard's chef had prepared a wonderful selection of dishes.
"Oh, no, I am really full. Let's take a walk in the yard. I feel like I'm going to get indigestion." Linda was lying on the chair, groaning and rubbing her stomach, as she complained to Lily and Anna.
Anna glanced at Linda. "My lady, I still have a few things to deal with. Let Lily take a walk with you. I have already warned you not to eat too much, now you feel awful, don't you?"
Anna had been accustomed to Linda's situation of overeating. When she was at the Mu's family home for dinned, Linda had done that as well.
But she couldn't help it, because Linda loved food. She considered the meaning of life as being the food she wanted to eat every day.
In their school days, the only thing that could motivate Linda to wake up was breakfast.
"I'm full, too. Linda, come on, let's go for a walk. I feel like I'm gaining weight already." Lily smiled and touched her belly.
Although Lily was petite, she ate a lot at every meal. After getting along with her for some time, Linda noticed that she was also a big eater.
Linda envied that Lily could still maintain her figure, even though she ate a lot.
The two girls walked slowly. Because Linda was pregnant, they could not move too fast.
They chatted while walking.
"Lily, let me ask you a question."
"Go ahead!"
"When you helped Anna to recover her computer's data yesterday, why did you say that if it was not for repaying me, you would never touched the computer, or any other, ever again?"
Lily fell silent.
Linda thought that Lily didn't want to say anything, so she said, "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you."
Everyone should have a little secret of their own, and it should be okay if they don't want to share it.
Linda understood the need to keep some things to oneself.
