The two of them, Judy and Lumma, were clinging to each other, completely absorbed in their own world, making Adam feel like an outsider.
Judy genuinely liked Lumma, so she was overjoyed when Lumma agreed to stay. “Lumma, let’s go eat. Crying like that only made me even hungrier.”
Lumma couldn’t resist the teasing from this charming young girl and gently ruffled her hair. “Alright, let’s go eat.”
Hand in hand, they walked ahead, completely disregarding Adam trailing behind. Adam figured that if he didn’t join them for the meal, those two would probably forget about his existence.
It came as no surprise to Adam that Judy adored Lumma. Lumma was, as Judy had said, such a delightful girl that naturally captured people’s affections.
What intrigued Adam, however, was Lumma herself. Having been hurt in the past, she found it difficult to form deep connections with others, yet Judy, this young girl, effortlessly managed to open Lumma’s heart.
Obviously, he had known Lumma longer and spent more time together, yet Lumma avoided him like the plague in her life.
Was Adam lacking the same charm as Judy?
Perplexed, Adam shook his head and decided to follow their lead.
Marie and the chef prepared a table full of dishes together. They had chicken wings, shrimp pancakes, beef stir-fry, and more. All the dishes were spicy, and there wasn’t a single dish that Adam would normally enjoy.
