Because of what had happened in the kitchen, Alice didn’t dare look Rachel in the eye when she brought out the food, as she was afraid Rachel would see something different about her.
After putting all the dishes on the table, Alice excused herself to take off her coat and went to her room and then to the bathroom, where she looked in the mirror and saw that she had no visible problem other than that her lips were a little red. So she repeated to him that Kennedy could only kiss him once, because if she kissed him too long, his lips would swell. By then, Rachel would know what was wrong at first sight.
Even if everyone knew what would happen between a boyfriend and girlfriend or a couple, Alice was a very private woman who didn’t want her private affairs known to others.
Luckily, she didn’t look strange now. Alice relaxed and resumed her place at the table.
Kennedy had already placed the food on her plate and Alice reached out to finish taking it when she saw Kennedy smile and ask her:
-Didn’t you just go back to the bedroom to take off your coat?
Alice’s ears suddenly turned red with shyness.
Kennedy must have done it on purpose, she knew Alice was shy and brought it up on purpose.
Alice looked at Kennedy angrily and replied:
-I took off my jacket and then felt cold again, so I put it back on.
Rachel, who had already started eating, smiled and said:
-Yes, the weather is unpredictable now and you should wrap up warm, a little extra clothing is not bad.
Alice saw that Rachel’s expression was natural and there was nothing strange about it and realized that she was overthinking it.
So Alice stopped beating around the bush, -Thanks for your concern, I understand.
During the meal, although Kennedy and Alice sat together, Alice didn’t even want to talk to him, she only talked to Raquel and didn’t even look at Kennedy.
Raquel tried to remain calm on the surface, but silently Kennedy took a couple of glances and discovered that Kennedy was not angry, but was looking at Alice with loving eyes.
Raquel remembered what happened to these two five years ago.
Then five years passed and Raquel thought the journey these two had shared was over, so she introduced Kennedy to a girlfriend in hopes that he could start a new life. But what she didn’t expect was that these two would meet again and then….
These past events were very touching and it was heartwarming to see the two have the happy ending they have now. After going through this, Rachel thought that these two probably won’t be able to stay away from each other for the rest of their lives.
With this in mind, Raquel suddenly looked at Kennedy and asked:
-What are your plans for the future?
This sudden question made Alice freeze and she looked at Rachel, only to discover that Rachel was asking Kennedy, who, sensing the seriousness of Rachel’s tone, thought seriously and replied:
-I want to marry Alice, provided Alice agrees.
Alice, however, said:
-Rachel, we are still just sweethearts, let’s talk about marriage later.
Naturally Raquel knew that Alice was excusing Kennedy and telling her to stop asking. But Raquel thought otherwise and asked again:
-What about your family, do they know about this?
-Aunt Raquel…
-Alice, don’t say anything,” Raquel gave her a small smile.
Alice didn’t want to talk about it at the moment and said:
-It’s not a good idea to talk about it over dinner, is it? It’s better to wait until we finish eating before we talk about this matter.
Alice expected her offer to be rejected, but Rachel quickly agreed, -Yes, we’ll discuss it after we eat.
After eating, Alice was called by Raquel to the kitchen, -Alice, you do the dishes first, please.
Alice had to agree because Kennedy was there, she took one look at Raquel and went to the kitchen, Alice didn’t know what Raquel would say to Kennedy, she was afraid that Raquel would tell Kennedy everything on impulse, so she was distracted while she washed the dishes.
After a while, Alice was really anxious and decided to go spy on the two of them. She put the stained dish in the sink with the intention of washing the suds off her hands and then going to spy. But the plate was so slippery that Alice couldn’t hold it. Seeing that the plate was about to fall to the floor, she reflexively reached out to grab it, but missed.
A loud bang was heard coming from the kitchen and the two men sitting in the living room jumped to their feet, and Kennedy rushed into the kitchen almost immediately.
Looking at Kennedy’s back, Rachel sighed inwardly and decided that she must have a daughter in the future. Because if she had a son, in the future her son would definitely only have one girlfriend in his heart.
The cell phone in Raquel’s pocket vibrated, she pulled it out and looked at it. The caller ID was an unknown number, but the number had a familiar destination, and she frowned as she hung up the phone.
If it weren’t for Alice and Kennedy, Raquel would never want to see Jorge again in her life, even if she had to die.
In the kitchen
Alice looked at the pieces on the floor and couldn’t believe what she had just done, she had just broken all the china trying to grab a plate.
Alice ran through her head quickly thinking of a solution. They were right there in the living room, would they make fun of her if they found out she didn’t even know how to wash dishes properly?
She was still thinking of a solution when the kitchen door opened and the next thing she knew Kennedy walked in to see porcelain shards all over the floor and Alice standing in the middle of the pile of shards.
-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, it was a sudden accident…..
Before Alice could finish her sentence, Kennedy walked over to her, picked her up and walked straight out of the kitchen.
Raquel happened to approach her and asked:
-What happened?
Alice still had foam on her hands and had to explain, -I didn’t hold the plate steady.
But Alice noticed that Raquel was looking at her strangely, as if Raquel thought she had broken the plate on purpose.
Alice really didn’t want Raquel to talk to Kennedy too much, but she still hadn’t come up with a good solution and she really had just broken the plate unintentionally….
-Raquel, take a break. Alice is hurt, I’ll help her first.
Alice blinked, thinking it was strange that she didn’t know she was hurt.
