Noah took Nina to the reserved seat and sat down. The pink roses on the table were fragrant.
When Noah mentioned some recent cases, Nina began to talk and the two chatted happily.
Standing far away, Ford couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he could see the tenderness in Noah's smile.
He glanced at the two people and turned into the kitchen. Linn was busy in the kitchen. The rest of the dishes were ready, except for a bowl of birthday noodles.
"Linn, how long will the birthday noodles take?" Ford stood aside and watched Linn kneading the dough.
Linn raised her arm and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She smiled and said, "It's almost done. Is Mrs. Nina here?"
"Yes, she just arrived." Ford nodded. Seeing the sweat on Linn's forehead, Ford asked, "Why don't you turn on the fan?"
There was a fan in the kitchen, which was standing not far away.
Linn continued to rub the dough, "You can't turn it on. It's not good to blow the dough with the fan on. The birthday noodles are very special. They can't break, so they must be strong. If the wind blows, the taste of this noodles will not be good. "
"Mr. Albert loves Miss Kristina so much. Mr. Noah is Miss Kristina's family. We should take good care of Mr. Noah." When Linn mentioned Albert, her eyes were easily filled with sand. She blinked her eyes several times to hold back the tears.
Linn smiled and was about to push Ford out. "Why do you enter the kitchen? Go out and watch Miss Evelyn outside."
"That's Okay." Standing still, Ford offered, "What can I do for you?"
"No, thanks." Linn shook her head with a smile. "Don't worry. I can handle it."
However, Ford said, "Mrs. Nina has arrived. I'm afraid that they will wait too long. Today is May 20th. Mr. Noah and Mrs. Nina may go out for a walk."
Linn thought for a while, "Okay, then help me take the soup out of the pot and put it in another pot. It will be used to cook birthday noodles later."
"Okay." When Ford was boiling the soup, he put something in it and stirred it with a spoon for a while.
And this scene happened to be seen by Evelyn who came to the kitchen to look for Ford.
Evelyn didn't say anything. She just took the lollipop in front of Ford and pulled the corner of his clothes.
"My lady?" Ford frowned. This was not the place she should come.
There was a strong smell of oil and smoke in the kitchen, and there were many cooking utensils.
Ford put down the spoon and took her out.
When they walked out of the kitchen, Evelyn peeled the lollipop and handed it to him. "Ford, here's your lollipop."
Looking at the round lollipop, a sweet smell went into the tip of his nose. The lady in front of him was smiling at him and said, "This is for you, lollipop."
"My lady..." Finally, there was an expression on Ford's face, and he looked at Evelyn with an obscure expression.
It was not the first time that she had given him something she liked.
"This is your lollipop. You don't need to give it to me." Ford refused her again and pushed her hand back.
Evelyn shook her head and put the lollipop directly to his lips.
The sweetness of the lollipop made Ford open his mouth. This was the first time he accepted a gift from Evelyn.
Then it was out of control.
Evelyn proved with her actions that Ford could receive the gift only for zero time or countless times from her.
At the table, when Noah and Nina almost finished their conversation, Noah took out a gift box and pushed it in front of Nina.
When Nina opened it, she found that it was still the lollipop she had had before, but the package was different.
The rectangular packing box outside was originally designed to be Noah's photo, which was also in black and white lines. It was very simple, and now it was replaced with the side face of Nina.
