In a daze, Tom took Kaylie to have supper.
He had decided to go home, but now he had no choice but to text Phoebe that he would be back later.
Phoebe did not ask him why, but simply replied, "Oh."
There was nothing to eat nearby, so they could only take a taxi. He took Kaylie to eat beef hotpot.
Tom looked at Kaylie, who was devouring and did not even know that her hair had fallen down.
Now, although Kaylie was wearing men's clothes, she was behaving naturally as a woman. She did not deliberately pretend to be a man but restore her feminine side.
Tom found that Kaylie was quite beautiful. She was on the same level as Phoebe, but she looked more like a pretty girl from a humble family.
This kind of Kaylie was very eye-catching. From time to time, people in the hotpot restaurant looked over and felt extremely envious and jealous of him, as he was Kaylie's only male companion.
"Eat slowly. No one will snatch your food." Seeing that she was devouring and burned her tongue several times, Tom gave her a glass of ice water and kindly persuaded her.
"Thank you." Kaylie smiled sweetly at Tom. She drank the water, stuck out her tongue and said, "I haven't eaten for two days. I'm starving."
"Why don't you eat? Your family abused you?" Tom asked strangely.
Kaylie snorted and said angrily, "Well, they really abused me! My father forces me to marry the man I don't like... Uh..."
At this point, she suddenly realized that she had said something wrong and immediately shut up. Then she saw Tom's calm expression and knew that she had been seen through, and her face turned red again, feeling very shy.
"You, you know I'm a girl?" Kaylie said carefully.
Tom was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Ah? Bro, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
He was still pretending!
Kaylie rolled her eyes. She had already seen herself in the mirror next to her. She was just like her usual appearance. Besides, she came out in a hurry and didn't wear a corset. How could Tom not notice that?
However, Tom was quite cute to pretend to be confused.
"Tom, I'm a girl. I lied to you. Will you be angry with me?" Kaylie stared at Tom and asked, her tone a little anxious.
Tom laughed inside. 'Why should I be angry? It has nothing to do with me whether you are a boy or a girl.' He thought.
But he didn't have to say it out loud. He smiled and said, "It's okay. There must be a reason for you to do this. Why should I be angry?"
Kaylie was moved. "Tom, you're so nice. You're much better than other men."
"Well, maybe you haven't met many men yet." Tom noticed that Kaylie's eyes had changed. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Eat slowly. I'll take you home after you finish eating."
"Okay..." Kaylie nodded subconsciously. Soon, she came to her senses and quickly shook her head, "I'm not going home. I'm not going back!"
Tom snorted and didn't ask much. Instead, he said, "Yes, you should calm down first."
"Yes..." Kaylie put two pieces of beef into Tom's bowl and said with a fawning expression, "Tom, can I stay at your house for the time being?"
Tom was shocked by her words. Fortunately, he had just picked up the teacup and had not drunk the tea. Otherwise, he would have sprayed it on Kaylie. "Are you kidding me?!"
Kaylie shook her head and said, "I'm not joking! I'm serious!"
"That won't do." Tom refused.
"Why not? Aren't we good friends?" Kaylie said.
