Chapter 215 “Haven’t we just eaten?” It was a little past noon, and we had eaten lunch.
He raised his brows, “You consider that as lunch?”
I went speechless at his question. I pursed my lips and contemplated, “I can’t think of what to eat right now.”
The car passed by the city center. There was a dessert shop in the streets with a long queue.
I asked curiously, “Is their food nice? There are so many people queueing.”
Marcus took a side glance and parked the car by the road. He looked at me and said, “Wait for me in the car. Don’t get out. It’s cold outside. I will be back soon !”
Before I had the chance to reply, he jogged towards the dessert shop and joined the queue.
His good looks shone in the crowd. Moreover, his tall and slender figure made him stood out like a crane.
I leaned against the car window and watched quietly. People approached him with their phones occasionally, probably trying to ask for his number.
He was friendly. He pointed to the car and waved his hands with a faint smile. It seemed like he had rejected them.
After that scene repeated a few times, the girls stopped approaching him. On the other hand, people seemed to be looking towards my direction more frequently.
I didn’t know what happened, so I could only nod and gave a faint smile to look friendly.
Half an hour later, he jogged towards me with the dessert in his hands. He boarded the car and passed the dessert to me, “I bought a little of everything. You can try it all and tell me which one you like.”
I nodded and took the Blueberry Cheesecake from him. I’m not sure of the reason, but I really liked this flavor.
The corners of his lips curved upwards after he saw me taking a few more bites, “It is good?”
I nodded in agreement, “It’s delicious!” I saw him looking at me, so I paused and said, “Do you want to try?”
He went through the trouble of queueing for a long time. So it seemed inappropriate not to get a taste of it. I instinctively scooped a mouthful and brought it to his lips.
He was stunned for a moment, and then, his eyes lit up brightly. He ate from the spoon with a hint of a smile.
Looking at him chew, I asked, “Is it good? There’re blueberries inside!” Not everyone was a fan of blueberries.
Marcus smiled slightly and nodded. He seemed to be in a good mood today, “Yeah. It’s delicious and sweet.”
The mood was contagious. Since he was in a good mood and we had desserts, I felt more relieved. I looked at him, “Where are we going later?”
He chuckled, “We are going to eat!”
“What are we going to eat?” It seemed like he was more chatty when he was in a good mood.
He smiled and said, “You decide!”
I thought for a second and said, “Steak?”
He raised his brows in agreement and started the car.
There was a popular restaurant in the mall, and it was fairly empty since it was after lunch hours.
We found a place with a wide view and sat down. He ordered some dishes and raised his eyes to look at my desserts, which had a bit leftover.
He raised his arms and took away the desserts, “Don’t eat too much. Or else you won’t be able to eat other food,” he said.
I froze in my tracks and nodded. I ate quite a few bites of desserts just now, so my stomach did feel a little funny.
After watching him finished my leftover desserts, I spoke, “Do you like this flavor too?”
He smirked and smiled widely, “Yeah, I really like it!”
“Should we buy some when we go back later?”
“Sure!”
Marcus seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
Because of the desserts, I couldn’t eat much food, but he ordered a lot. I stared at the leftover dishes and said pitifully, “What a waste!”
He smiled faintly, “We can takeaway the leftovers!”
I was stunned. He didn’t seem like someone frugal. He was picky with his food at home too.
Yet, he finished my leftover desserts and is going to take away the leftover food?
He saw me staring at him and smiled, “If you turn right ahead, there are many stray dogs and the homeless. We can leave it there. They will take it when they are hungry.”
I was stunned for a moment. I couldn’t describe what I was feeling. I thought he was a rich man who didn’t know about the difficulties in life, but… “Yup, sure!” I asked for the takeaway boxes and packed the food.
After leaving the restaurant, I followed him. He walked a while and turned his head to me, “Are you tired?”
I shook my head, “I’m not tired!”
“Alright. We are reaching soon!”
The city center was supposed to be a bustling and lavish place. I never expected that there would be hidden corners, forgotten by society, in such a place.
This area was not easily found, and the corner was fairly hidden. There was food placed neatly beside the rubbish bin. Marcus left the food boxes over there.
When he was about to bring me away, I looked at the surroundings. The area nearby was kept clean, and even the space beside the rubbish bin was spick and span. The food boxes beside were placed neatly too.
After walking a few steps with him, I couldn’t help but raised my eyes at him. I smiled, “Marcus, there are still many kind souls in this city, right?”
He saw me smile and was stunned for a second. Then, he nodded and held tightly onto me, “Yes, there are still many of them!”
He raised his brows, “You consider that as lunch?”
