Brenden quickly handed her a glass of water. Alice took a sip of water and said, "Brenden, can you stop joking when I'm eating? I almost laugh to death every time."
"Well, well, it's my fault. I just want to share with you that it's funny to get married now. Isn't the new man funny?"
She was about to burst into tears, but she kept suppressing it.
"It's funny, but the bride is also very happy. All she needs is a kiss and some money. The groom dotes on the bride in this way, and he himself has also received a lot of benefits. It's not a loss."
"But I think this groom is quite talented. His best man is even more talented. I'll tell you when you're not eating." He looked at her and smiled meaningfully.
"Really? When you get married, do you want to follow suit?" She asked with a smile.
Both of them were so happy that they didn't notice Henrick.
Henrick watched as Alice dipped the lobster into water.
He looked at the mustard on the side and gently placed a little on her lobster meat.
Brenden didn't have time to stop him. She moved quickly, and so did Henrick. Everything happened in an instant.
Alice never ate mustard, and the mustard on the table was for Brenden.
In an instant, her ears were blocked and her mind went blank. Tears flowed out of her eyes from the pain.
"Ahem..." She bent down and spat out the lobster meat in her mouth.
Henrick was speechless. He just felt that it would taste better if it was eaten with mustard. Who knew that she couldn't eat mustard.
Brenden frowned and glanced at him. He stood up and walked up to her, asking, "Alice, how are you feeling?"
Buzz buzz buzz... Alice felt like something was buzzing in her ear.
She couldn't say anything and closed her eyes to ease her discomfort.
It wasn't until the dazedness in her mind had passed that she straightened up and looked at the culprit with a pair of watery eyes.
Seeing this, Henrick's heart began to ache.
He explained hesitantly, "Alice, I... I just thought that it's better to put some mustard on it."
Brenden looked at him with a frown. "Mr. Henrick, I hope you won't make such a joke in the future. Alice cannot eat mustard."
"I..."
"Henrick, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Alice wiped away her tears. Her eyes were red as she glared at him.
"If I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"
"Who would believe you? Stay away from me!" She shouted angrily, picked up her bag and left.
"Hey, I..."
"Mr. Henrick, we're leaving," Brenden interrupted him and chased after Alice.
Henrick was speechless. What the hell was he chasing after them for?
Alma looked at him. "Did he just want Alice to think that it's delicious or was it a prank?" She thought to herself.
She always felt that the relationship between the two of them was unusual.
However, she didn't know what was unusual.
Although Henrick was sometimes very mischievous, she knew that the man in front of her was very kind.
Sometimes, he liked to play pranks, but he would not go too far.
That night, he had paid too much attention to Alice.
"Henrick, you're so mischievous. People who can't eat mustard will be choked to tears as long as they touch it."
"I really didn't do it on purpose. I usually like eating lobster like this. You know, I just want to put some mustard on it for her so that it would taste better."
"Oh, you like it, but it doesn't mean that others like it!" Alma found it funny, but she felt that Henrick had changed so fast that his eyes were attracted to Alice.
As a woman, her intuition had always been very accurate.
