Let's Get Married novel Chapter 581

After deliberating for a while, he decides to pick up the duck intestine which is curled up in his plate. It has a greyish colour, and there is a red oily coat covering it. He furrows his bushy brows before mustering enough courage to gobble it up.

He chews it slightly and discovers that it is not as leathery as he has thought. His teeth are able to sever it into pieces, and it is very crunchy too. There isn’t any unpleasant taste too.

It is really not too bad.

Adair watches him chewing the food intently with his pair of watery eyes. He excitedly asks, “How was it? Was it nice?”

Ryan nods in his direction, “It is not bad.”

“Then you should eat more!”

Adair immediately recommends other food for Ryan to try. Except for the brain part, he finds most of the food here edible. Adair can’t stop sending food into Ryan’s plate as his sense of achievement slowly balloons.

Usually, it should be the elders who pick up food and encourage the children to eat more, but the complete opposite holds true here. It is rather an interesting change of scenery.

“That’s right, Ryan. Why didn’t I see Eunice lately?” While chewing his food, Adair rolls his eyes slightly as he asks him nonchalantly.

At the mention of Eunice, Ryan’s hand holding the chopstick freezes in mid-air for one second before continuing to move again. He replies faintly, “She is busy.”

“She is busy?” Adair gapes at him suspiciously, as if he can’t fully believe in his words. “Eunice has promised me the last time we met that she will accompany me always in the future. Is she lying to me?”

“When did she promise you that?”

“When we had a meal last time.” Adair answers before pulling down his face. A saddened expression takes over his features, “I thought that Eunice really likes me, but it turns out that she’s just teasing me.”

Ryan understands Adair very well. At the sight of his gloomy expression, he tries to console Adair, “It’s not that she doesn’t like you. She just doesn’t have too much time nowadays.”

“So she is not free nowadays?”

Ryan is surprised at Adair’s response. He jerks up his eyebrows and casts Adair a glance, “Do you like her that much?”

“That’s right. Eunice is really nice. She is very gentle when taking care of me and her voice is gentle too, and…” When he reaches this point, he suddenly pauses.

Ryan continues to probe, “And?”

Adair secretly clenches his fists as if he has come to an important decision. He has to spout a lie now, for the sake of Ryan’s future happiness. “I’m sorry, Ryan!” He secretly apologizes to him.

He then slowly begins again, “And, Eunice seems to like you as well, Ryan. She is very nice to you!”

This is not what Ryan expects. Putting aside other possibilities, if it is solely based on the fact that she is apprehensive of him, he is sure that there is not any emotion of fondness involved in the way she carries herself around him.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“I didn’t. This is what Eunice has told me!” Adair never lies to others, but he has made an exception for these two adults.

Ryan can’t help but knit his eyebrows, “She has said that?”
