It was six o'clock in the afternoon when Melissa and Eric left the entertainment city. The sun hadn't set yet. They had no place to go and asked the driver to go around. They didn't find a restaurant to eat until Eric woke up from a nap.
"What do you want to eat?" Asked Eric
Melissa shook her head. She didn't feel like eating, but she tried to look happy. She raised her head and said, "I'll eat whatever you eat."
"Why do you ask that?"
"I will eat whatever you want· to eat, no matter how terrible it is." Melissa quipped.
Hearing her words, Eric laughed all of a sudden. He hugged her tightly, stroked her hair and said, "What you say are so nice to hear. Do you mean it?"
"Of course I mean it. Do I look like a hypocrite?"
Eric laughed. He held her tight in his arms and didn't say anything. They hugged each other tightly for a while. In the end, Eric sighed and said, "If you meant what you said, it would be good. I really hope that you can let go everything and be together with me. I know you may not be able to forget him so soon, but I will give you time. I will wait."
Leaning against his chest, Melissa said slowly, "Eric, I've decided to let him go. So, from now on, don't have to worry too much. "
Yes, she should have forgotten Colin and let go of everything in the past. She and Colin were not related in time and space, but they had crossed paths by default. At last, she realized that they were not of the same style and they would never be together again, not to mention that Colin had a beloved woman Avril. Colin had been missing Avril for so many years, and even... For knowing where Avril's ashes that Colin decided to give in to Mrs. Fannie. Promised Mrs. Fannie that he would go home and get married and have a kid.
This was probably what hurt Melissa most. Colin married another woman and had his own child so easily. What else could she miss from such a man? As for her and Eric, the two of them had similar hobbies and ideal, even personality. And Eric pursued ideal and perfection so did she. So she and Eric could be together only if they had the same hobbies and characters. She had made up her mind to get along well with Eric.
Left with no choice, Eric picked it up. Later, Melissa picked up a slice of lobster and ate it. She even said to Eric, "Hurry up. Aren't you hungry?"
As soon as Eric saw her with surprise, he only looked at her from head to toe, and then said in disbelief, "You don't look fat, do you? Why can you eat so much? And this food is so greasy and it is a kind of high protein. Will you be all right after you finish it? "
"There will be nothing. I eat like this since I was a kid. I tell you, I have never been a vegetarian. My greatest hobby is meat, and these high protein food. I often ate it when I was a child. There was nothing wrong with me. "
"Why did you eat these food so often when you were a child?"
"Because my grandparents are fishermen by the sea. When I was on holiday, I always lived with my grandparents. And my father was the son of the fisherman, and later became the navy, and then a military officer. When I graduated from high school, I went to the female soldier's camp and became a soldier there for a few months. At that time, I also often ate seafood. So my favorite hobby is eating seafood! "
