Their holiday was coming to an end. On the last day, Wrenna followed what she wrote in the itinerary and brought Damian to search for local delicacies.
One could usually find good food in small alleys and unassuming restaurants. On the other hand, beautifully decorated and eye-catching restaurants were only good to look at, but their food was not as tasty.
Therefore, Wrenna led Damian to explore many small alleys. However, these places were famous on the internet, and their shops were small, there was always a long line.
It seemed that people were willing to go miles for good food.
Wrenna held Damian's arm and stood under their umbrellas in the hot sun. They were lining up to taste the famously delicious ice cream. At least a dozen of people were lining up ahead of them.
“Damian, do you feel hot?” Wrenna took a piece of tissue and wiped the sweat from Damian's face.
Although she was concerned about Damian, the desire to eat something tasty trumped over it.
Damian watched Wrenna swallowing her saliva as she looked at the ice cream others bought. He thought that she looked really cute.
He could not resist a chuckle and said, “It's hot. Can we leave?”
Damian teased her deliberately and saw her conflicted expression. She looked reluctant and troubled.
“Erm... Are we leaving?” Wrenna could not figure out what she should do.
She stood on her spot and could not bring herself to leave.
Damian could not resist laughing and squeezing her cheek. “You look like you want the ice cream badly. It would be a waste to leave now that we have lined up for so long. Is the ice cream that good? I don't remember seeing you eat much ice cream in D City.”
Wrenna smiled and replied, “It's different. I guess everyone has an innate desire to follow the crowd. If someone says that it is tasty, one will naturally be curious to try it. If this is in D City, I probably won't want to have it.”
Wrenna grew up in a wealthy family. She had traveled the world and ate at Michelin 3 star restaurants and other famous restaurants.
While their food was tasty, it felt different from now.
Now, she and Damian were lining up like an ordinary couple. Even though the weather was hot, and they stood under the sun, it felt satisfying to experience something new with the man she loved.
“Silly girl.” Damian laughed and squeezed her cheek. Wrenna smiled back.
The couple waiting before them heard their conversation and turned around. The young woman asked, “Are both of you from D City?”
Wrenna nodded, “You too?”
“Yes, I saw the reviews on the internet saying that the ice cream from this shop is tasty. It seems you are also here for the same reason,” the young woman answered.
Wrenna and the young woman seemed to understand each other instantly.
“I'm Zoey Lange. He is my boyfriend, Edwin Hensen. We are returning to D City tomorrow. Are both of you going back tomorrow too?” Zoey asked.
Wrenna nodded. “I'm Wrenna Jackson. This is my husband. His surname is Quigley.”
Wrenna only mentioned Damian's surname. Unlike Zoey, she did not behave overly friendly.
It seemed that Zoey and Edwin did not mind.
“Both of you are married?” Edwin asked in a surprised tone.
Wrenna nodded. “Yes.”
“What time is your flight? Perhaps we can share a car to go to the airport together. That way, we can save a little on the fare,” Zoey suggested.
Wrenna was unfamiliar with sharing a cab for the sake of saving on cab fare.
Furthermore, they only just met. Wrenna could not understand why Zoey was acting as if they had known each other for a long time.
However, she felt bad to refuse her offer.
Suddenly, Damian said indifferently, “That won't be necessary.”
“What do you mean? You don't have to be afraid. We're not bad guys. After all, we all came from D City. What's wrong with sharing a ride to the airport? If we are on the same flight, we can chat during the flight too.” Zoey did not feel any shame and was overly eager.
She proceeded to talk about her hometown and that they should hang out when they returned to D City. After that, she chattered on about herself and Edwin. Zoey had recently graduated and worked as a clerk in a big company. Meanwhile, Edwin grew up in D City. He owned a car and house. From her tone, Zoey sounded proud.
“Which hotel are you staying in? We splurge on this trip and are staying in an expensive hotel. After all, Edwin can afford it,” Zoey said.
Wrenna was polite, so she did not know how to get Zoey to stop talking. She could only hope that it would be her turn soon so that they could leave as soon as possible.
She quietly shook Damian's fingers and frowned, expressing her helplessness and frustration.
Therefore, Damian said, “We would like some silence.”
Edwin was embarrassed and quickly turned Zoey around. On the other hand, Zoey was sullen from being told to stay quiet.
She glanced at Damian and thought.
He's unfriendly and rude. How can he be so gentle to Wrenna but cold to me? I'm a beauty too. Even if he's married, he has no reason to treat me so coldly.
