Elaine left and went straight to the underground parking lot.
She looked left and right, almost finished the parking lot, and did not see Darnell's car.
Just as she was about to give up, a voice came from behind her, "What are you doing here."
A smile rose on Elaine's face and she immediately turned her head, her eyes curved, "I knew I'd see you if I waited here!"
Darnell was noncommittal and looked at the time: "Have you eaten yet."
Elaine immediately shook her head.
Darnell lifted his leg and moved forward, "Let's go."
Elaine followed him to the car and asked, as she fastened her seat belt, "What are you doing here?"
"Something."
"That's really a coincidence eh." Saying that, Elaine muttered to herself again, "Then I really need to go out more often, one chance encounter and surely there will be opportunities in the future."
Darnell didn't say anything, just said, "What would you like to eat."
Elaine asked him, "Is fondue okay."
She was not very good at eating spicy food, but since she went to South City, she fell in love with it.
Darnell gave a low "hmm" and drove on.
All the way, Elaine had a great time.
This windfall was so wonderful.
I can't believe we can still eat together.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at a hot pot restaurant by the river.
In the booth, after ordering, Elaine said thank you to the waiter, waited for him to leave, and then looked over at Darnell, muttering in a small voice, "Aunt Maple is talking nonsense, I'm not marrying her son."
Darnell sipped his tea and spoke slowly, "I know."
Hearing his answer, the smile on Elaine's face widened even more.
She looked out the window, the sun was shining brightly at this time of year and the whole river was shining brightly.
Elaine suddenly remembered something and turned her head again, "Although you told Aunt Maple today that it wasn't me who was broken off the engagement, I thought about it and I didn't seem very happy to hear that ......"
It's even a little sad.
Although Darnell had never agreed to the engagement either, it was she who objected more strongly.
Once she thought of this, Elaine felt that the hot pot in front of her didn't smell so good anymore.
Darnell looked at her, "So what makes you happy."
Elaine propped her hand on the table and met his gaze with her cheek, and moved forward a few points, saying seriously, "Could you, please, pretend that our engagement has never been broken?"
"Can't."
Elaine was momentarily discouraged and slowly backed away.
At this time, the dishes came one after another.
Darnell unwrapped his chopsticks and handed them to her, "Eat."
The hot pot has also been boiled and an aroma comes to the surface.
Elaine was solidly hungry.
She picked up her chopsticks and threw herself into the feast with all her heart and soul.
Eating dinner, Darnell got up, "Take you home."
Elaine said, "It's still early and I don't want to go back."
"Then I'm off."
Elaine: "......"
She immediately followed, staying close behind him.
Elaine fell asleep with her head tilted at some point.
Darnell gave her a look, then parked the car at the river and walked down.
He sat against the front of the car, quietly looking at the river in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
