"I'm sorry, Miranda. Don't be angry!"
Rosa didn't know that her joke would make her ignore her.
"I'm not angry!"
She turned her head and covered her face with a book.
She was not angry.
She really wasn't angry. She was just troubled. Was she really so bad at hiding it
How could she expose herself in such a short time?
"Then what are you doing?" Rosa grabbed her book and stepped forward. "Go to my house after school. I'll make some noodles tonight, okay?"
Miranda was stunned. She looked at her and asked, "Really?"
Rosa chuckled and said, "It's so easy to comfort a foodie. Yup, it's true!"
Miranda smiled sweetly. "All right then!"
She was a foodie, but she was an extremely picky one.
If the food didn't fit her appetite, she wouldn't eat it a second time.
Of course, she felt that after meeting Cecil, she seemed less like a foodie.
She was excited to see the gentle boy.
There was only one class in the afternoon. The class was over at about 3 pm.
Miranda asked the driver to take them to Rosa's neighbourhood.
After that, she asked him to pick her up at 6 pm.
The driver naturally nodded in agreement.
When they got there, Cecil was typing.
"Cecil" Rosa shouted out of habit.
Cecil smiled and tilted his head. "Sister, you're back... er... Miranda's here?"
"Well, Rosa... Rosa invited me to eat some noodles... Um, are you writing?" She seemed to be avoiding his gaze.
"Uh... I just finished writing!"
"Cecil, keep Miranda company for a while. I'll go make the noodles. Miranda, you should go rest in Cecil's room!"
After saying that, Rosa started working on the noodles.
"Uh... Okay!"
Miranda didn't know how to do housework. If she wandered around in the kitchen, she might disturb Rosa.
The two of them entered the room.
Cecil closed the door subconsciously.
In the past few years, he habitually closed the door as to not see any mocking looks from his relatives.
Even though he was living a good life now, he still kept this habit.
However, Miranda didn't know.
The moment he closed the door, her heart kept pounding.
A man and a woman alone in the same room...
It was easy for one's imagination to go wild...
"So... class's over..." Cecil looked at her, smiling warmly.
Miranda blushed all of a sudden. She stood there and played with her fingers awkwardly. "Yea..."
Seeing this, Cecil was too embarrassed to say anything more.
The two of them were shy and talked about meaningless topics.
"By the way, it's the young master's birthday this Saturday. You must come. He will give you a call!" Miranda said hurriedly.
This was what she came here for.
Cecil was stunned. He smiled and said, "It's the young master's birthday?"
"You'll go, won't you?" Miranda looked at him expectantly.
"We'll see."
He lowered his eyes and covered the look in his eyes with his thick long eyelashes.
Under the seemingly calm appearance, his mind was racing.
If he went to the party like this...
He's afraid that...
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, no one will talk about you!" Miranda squatted down and grabbed his hand.
Cecil was shocked at once.
Her soft touch made his heart freeze. It was as if he had been burnt.
His face turned red all of a sudden.
When Miranda saw his red face, she realized that she was holding his hand.
Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock as she withdrew her hand in panic. She stood up and was awkward.
"Yes, you must go... otherwise, the young master would be disappointed..."
She suddenly said.
Cecil remained silent. He could not guarantee it.
"Uh... what's this?" Miranda suddenly caught a glimpse of the album at the top of the bookshelf.
"It's a photo album!" he said flatly.
"Why is it at the top?"
A bitter smile appeared on Cecil's face. "My sister put it there..."
Rosa had placed every family photo at the top of the shelf to prevent him from getting them.
It was because if he had seen those photos, he would get agitated which would trigger his illness.
"The album of photos when you were young? Can I have a look?" Miranda was attracted to the album. She wanted to know his past.
"Yes, sure. Is it too high up? There's a small stool over here. Be careful!" Cecil pointed at the stool and said.
Miranda nodded and said, "Okay."
The next second, she climbed up with a stool.
However, she didn't know how Rosa managed to place it that high.
Even after climbing on the stool, it was still not high enough.
She had no choice but to tiptoe and reach for it.
