Chapter 796 We Don’t Have the Same Taste
Jack let out a sigh of relief.
Riverlyn saw his expression and couldn’t help but secretly snicker. She took the cake from him, walked over, and handed it to Winona. “You know that I can’t eat sweet things, so I’m going to trouble you again this time.”
Winona readily accepted it. “Sure!”
After saying that, she took the cake and went to the table next to them to eat.
Jack looked at her innocent appearance. His eyes were slightly curved, and his smile was wide.
Riverlyn teased him deliberately. “Your good intentions went undiscovered. If you want a girl like Winona to understand your intention, you should be direct.”
Jack lowered his head and mocked himself. “Even you realize it.”
“Yeah, even I can see it. Do you think she doesn’t know about it?” Riverlyn exposed the truth sharply. “Actually, it’s not difficult to understand; your identity is too special, and few girls have the guts to be with you, knowing how much pressure it takes.”
Jack’s complexion changed, and his gaze gradually became heavy. Looking at Winona again, there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. “I will think of a surefire way to protect her. Until then, we are just friends, like I am with you.”
“I hope you won’t make her wait too long.” Riverlyn sighed, looked at Winona, and added earnestly, “She is a lovely girl, so she deserves a proper and honest relationship.”
“I know.” Jack’s tone was calm and confident.
Of course, he knew how good Winona was, and because of that, he couldn’t risk hurting her.
…
The next day, at the White Residence, Adelpha sat on the chair and kept twisting her neck.
I remember going to his room last night, and… Wait, why am I on the couch now? My neck, though. Argh! It’s so stiff.
Could it be that I went to bed too early and had a dream?
At this time, Alexander, who was next to her, suddenly stood up and served Adelpha’s parents with a mild attitude.
“Mr. White, thank you for letting me stay the night.”
“Mrs. White, have some more food.”
“Miss Adelpha, it seems that you are not in good spirits. After eating, go and catch up on sleep.”
Onyx and Lyra accepted it normally, but Adelpha came back to her senses, and suddenly she was in high spirits, “Okay! I got it. I didn’t expect you to pay so much attention to me.”
Alexander forced a smile on his face, then turned around again and took a piece of pastry that was delicious and put it in Elise’s bowl. “Miss Anastasia, please forgive me for disturbing your peace by staying here last night.”
Elise frowned, staring at the pastry in the bowl, not knowing what to say.
His every move seemed to declare that he knew her identity.
Seeing that she didn’t respond, Adelpha immediately began to say, “Hey, Anastasia, don’t you know how to be polite? Alexander kindly gave you some food; can’t you even say thank you?”
Before Elise could respond, Alexander turned his head and put another shrimp in Adelpha’s bowl. “It’s early in the morning; there’s no need to be angry over me. Miss Adelpha, try this. I think it tastes excellent.”
“Um… ” Adelpha looked at the contents of the bowl and hesitated. She was allergic to seafood, and she would itch all over her body if she ate just a little bit. If she ate the whole thing, she would certainly get a bad rash all over her body!
“Miss Adelpha, do you not like it?” Alexander pretended to be disappointed. “It seems that our tastes are not very suitable for each other.”
“No!” Adelpha denied it immediately. “We’re suitable! We’re meant to be! I love to eat! I especially love to eat shrimps! I’ll eat it for you now, here!”
