The man’s hands were slender, beautiful, with distinct joints. She shifted her gaze and saw that his shopping cart was full of pre-prepared meals. She moved her eyes upwards and saw the owner of the hand looking down at her.
Myrna smiled: “You’re not going to eat this for dinner, are you?”
“Well! Sometimes I get home too late and don’t want to order takeout, so I just eat something casually.” Dempsey said lightly.
“I’ve calculated that these things are enough to provide a person with the protein and vitamins he needs for a day, as well as carbohydrates.”
Myrna couldn’t help but chuckle at his serious explanation: “It seems that you have taken every aspect into consideration through scientific calculations and precise control.”
“But if you had a fresh, hot meal and these things in front of you and asked to choose, what would you choose?”
Dempsey was silent. The answer was obvious. Who would want to eat fast food when there is a hot meal?
Myrna smiled slyly: “So, Professor Dempsey , I will make dinner. In return, you only need to do one thing for me.”
Half an hour later, Dempsey looked at the fish on the cutting board: “… it seemed difficult to handle.”
Myrna coughed lightly and said, “Actually, supermarkets usually have special fish filleting chefs, but there were too many people today, so they just processed it briefly. If you…”
Dempsey rolled up his sleeves and took off his glasses: “I’ll try.”
Myrna nodded: “Okay.”
The fish sliced with pickled cabbage tastes better, while raw fish slices are a bit troublesome to slice, so she wanted to be a little lazy.
But when she saw Dempsey standing in the kitchen, she suddenly felt a little guilty. Wasn’t it a waste of talent to ask a physicist to fillet fish?
Five minutes later.
She looked at the sashimi, which were of similar thickness and size, and decided to take back her words.
It’s not a waste of talent at all, it’s obvious that he is too talented.
“Is this okay?” Dempsey asked, wiping his hands.
“Okay, okay, you are comparable to a professional knife master.”
Dempsey was amused by her statement and curled the corners of his mouth: “I have never cooked, but I learned anatomy when I was studying biology, so… cough!”
Myrna bought fish, and Dempsey returned the favor by buying some meat and vegetables, and the two of them had a sumptuous fish hotpot.
After dinner, Dempsey took the initiative to wash the dishes.
When they were almost done cleaning up, Myrna said, “It’s getting late. You should go back first. I’ll take out the trash.”
Dempsey has the habit of running at night every day, but it was really too late today, it was almost twelve o’clock, so he didn’t stay any longer.
Myrna slept for a long time in the evening and thought she would not be able to fall asleep. However, she felt sleepy after sending Dempsey off.
A dreamless night.
The next day, I woke up before seven o’clock.
“I really envy you. You go to the library to review every day and go to sleep when you get home. Unlike me, I have to go on blind dates early in the morning.”
On the screen, Joanna was putting on makeup in front of the mirror. When she thought of her blind date whom she had only met a few times, she lost interest and her hands became more perfunctory.
“Are you jealous of me? Then why don’t you come with me to the library to review today?” Myrna could hear the annoyance in her words and deliberately changed the subject.
Joanna pouted: “Forget it, I’d rather go on a blind date.”
She was not a top student, and being admitted to University B was already a pleasant surprise. Having a genius like Dempsey at home was enough, so she didn’t want to join in the fun.
“By the way, I have photoshopped the photos we took last time we went out. I’ll send them to you.”
“Um.”
?? Ding Dong??????
Joanna sent the photo via message .
Myrna flipped through the photos one by one. In some of them, she was wearing a fox headband and having her face pinched by Joanna . Her expression was innocent and pitiful.
There are also some photos she took of Joanna , who had just got off the roller coaster and looked like she had escaped death. She couldn’t help laughing when she saw them.
I flipped to the end and saw only her solo photo. I was about to turn off my phone, but I noticed two familiar figures among the pedestrians in the background.
She pursed her lips, probably trying to be careful to include Susie and Ansel in the photo.
She is the protagonist in the photo, and the person behind her is just the background, but the two of them are holding hands the whole time, making it seem like she has accidentally entered someone else’s world.

” Faithe , Faithe !”
Ansel covered his abdomen and shouted twice with a pale face.
However, the villa was silent and there was no response.
He was awakened by the pain early in the morning.
Waves of cramping came from his stomach, his whole body felt cold, he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but he couldn’t.
This feeling is very familiar, it’s my stomach problem.
Remembering that he had some stomach medicine at home, Ansel recalled it and started looking for it in all the boxes and drawers.
However, there was only a medicine box left, and the medicine inside was gone.
He endured the pain and called his assistant.
“Buy some stomach medicine and send it to the villa.”
Upon hearing this, the assistant did not dare to delay and immediately went to the pharmacy to buy a box.
When they drove to the villa, the assistant saw Ansel with a pale face, sitting on the sofa silently, with cold sweat on his forehead.
” Mr Howard , medicine.”
Ansel took the pills and warm water handed to him by the assistant and swallowed them directly.
“Would you like something to eat?”
Ansel waved his hand, “You go first.”
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and left quietly.
However, less than an hour later, Ansel called again.
“What stomach medicine did you buy?! Did it help at all? You made a mistake in such a simple matter as buying medicine. Are you illiterate or blind?”
Ansel wanted to control his emotions, but the pain in his stomach that didn’t ease at all made it difficult for him not to lose his temper.
Seeing the medicine box on the coffee table, he realized that it was not the kind he usually took, no wonder it was useless.
Assistant: “I’m sorry, Mr. Howard , I didn’t notice before. What brand of stomach medicine do you want me to buy?”
Ansel stared at the medicine box, and suddenly his mind went blank.
Myrna always prepared it for him…
He himself never paid attention to the brand or manufacturer, and the effects were immediate every time he took it.
Thinking of this, he hung up the phone irritably and turned to Myrna ‘s number.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is busy…”
He scowled, remembering that he was still on that woman’s blacklist.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard. It was Faithe who came back from buying groceries.
Ansel doesn’t like outsiders at home, so she comes in and out at fixed times every day.
At this point, she was about to come back to clean up when she suddenly saw a tall figure walking towards her.
” Faithe , where’s your phone?”
Faithe was startled by his pale face: ” Mr. , what’s wrong with you?”
Ansel was very annoyed, and his voice was even more impatient: “Give me your phone, I’ll make a call.”
When he got the phone, he could dial the number skillfully without even thinking.
?? Beep?? beep????
The other end quickly answered the call –
“What’s wrong, Faithe ?”
A clear and beautiful voice sounded, and before answering the call, Ansel wanted to ask her if she had made enough of the trouble and when she would come back.
But at this moment, these words were stuck in my throat and I couldn’t utter a single word.
Finally, he just whispered, “I have a stomachache.”
