Lumma couldn’t read much from his expression and assumed he genuinely liked it. She was ready to cook another pot of dumplings and said, “Mr. Hills, if you enjoy it, let’s have some more.”
Adam replied, “Okay.”
While Lumma went to the kitchen to cook more dumplings, Judy looked at Adam and whispered, “Brother, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it. It wouldn’t be good if it upsets your stomach.”
Adam responded, “Even if I don’t like it, do you think I’m foolish enough to eat it?”
Judy retorted, “I wouldn’t have thought so if you hadn’t said it. But now that you’ve said it, you look a bit silly, just like the husky we used to have at home.”
Adam gave her a disdainful look and said, “You know nothing?”
His wife minced the meat, made the dumplings, cooked them, and prepared the dipping sauce. Even if he couldn’t get used to it, he had to eat them and eat a lot. He wanted to show his support for her.
Judy continued, “Brother, I remember you telling me that love is fleeting. You made me believe pigs could climb trees and not believe in love. Now look at yourself. You’re acting like a fool under the influence of love.”
Adam paused momentarily and asked, “Is this love?”
Judy responded, “Isn’t this love?”
