Clyde left, he happened to pass by Ansel who came to the restaurant for breakfast .
The latter frowned.
He glanced around calmly, but didn’t see Myrna .
” Baby, what are you looking for?” Susie saw him looking around and asked knowingly.
Ansel retracted his gaze and turned to look at her: “You have an injury on your leg, you shouldn’t have insisted on coming here.”
“Although I can have someone take me to the room, I’ve been lying down for too long. I want to get out and breathe some fresh air, otherwise I feel like I’m going to get moldy … ” She stuck out her tongue as she spoke.
Ansel hummed softly: “What do you want to eat?”
“Sandwich, milk, thanks Baby~ ”
At noon, Ansel searched all four restaurants on the island but didn’t see Myrna .
He walked around the beach in the afternoon, but still couldn’t find it.
After nightfall, he saw Joanna in the Chinese restaurant on the island , but there was still no sign of Myrna .
What’s even stranger is that Clyde never saw him again except for that one morning.
Could it be that Myrna went on a date with him … ?
This conjecture made Ansel unable to sit still for a second. He stood up, paused suddenly, and picked up the shawl that Susie hung on the back of the chair.
I bought it on the island, a regular model, almost everyone owns one, Myrna also has one.
He walked over and found Joanna –
Myrna left a shawl with me at noon . You can give it to her.”
Joanna was dating a handsome guy. When she heard this, she didn’t react at all and blurted out: “Noon? How is that possible? She’s back–”
Well!
At this moment, Joanna realized something was wrong: ” Ansel , are you trying to trick me?”
The man’s eyes were sharp. “Where did she go back to? Back to her country?”
Joanna rolled her eyes. “What’s it got to do with you?”
Ansel nodded: “It seems that he has indeed returned.”
After getting the answer he wanted, he turned and left.
No need to guess, since Myrna left, that guy Clyde must have left as well.
Joanna : “!” I shouldn’t have such a mouth!
Ansel walked, he took out his cell phone and called Mike : “Help me book the next flight back home-”
Mike : “Okay Mr Howard , will the lady go back with you then ? ”
Don’t make the same mistake a second time, so it’s better to ask clearly.
The man was beaten.
” Baby, I just heard from the restaurant waiter that there will be a cruise ship sailing the day after tomorrow, and there will be a captain’s dinner in the evening. Let’s sign up for it, okay?”
Susie came up and took his arm. “I can’t go back to my country for the time being anyway, so why not just have fun for a few more days. What do you think?”
Ansel paused.
Mike : “Hello, Mr. Howard , are you listening?”
” … I won’t order it for now.”
” … OK.”
Susie : “Oh, are you on the phone? Sorry, I didn’t see it … Is it okay?”
Ansel waved his hand: “No.”
The girl smiled instantly: “That’s good, that’s good. The doctor said my wound is fine at the moment, no infection has been found … ”
Ansel softened a little at the mention of the wound .
“The cruise ship is going out to sea, shall we go? Okay? I haven’t been to a captain’s dinner yet … ” She pulled his arm and acted coquettishly, her tone as sweet as lychee jelly.
Ansel nodded unconsciously: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
“mua! Thank you Baby~ ”
…
At nine o’clock in the evening, the flight landed at the airport on time.
Myrna left the terminal, the familiar cold wind mixed with ice chips blew on her face, and she sneezed immediately because of the cold.
Knowing that there was a big temperature difference between the two places, she took out her long down jacket and wrapped herself like a ball before the plane landed.
In the end, it was still a mistake.
There was a freezing rain two days ago. Icicles were hanging on the trees and telephone poles. It was a drizzle and looked light, but when it fell on people, the wet clothes would freeze into ice in a short time.
This road is usually busy, but it is winter, late at night, and the traffic is rushing, and it is difficult to get a taxi.
She took out her cell phone tremblingly and checked the location of the online car-hailing vehicle. Three minutes ago, it showed that it would take five minutes to reach the destination, but now it had become half an hour.
She glanced at the red map and saw that the driver had been stuck there for a while.
Just as she was hesitating whether to cancel, a car slowly stopped beside her.
The car window was rolled down, revealing familiar eyebrows, clear and gentle, and a half-hidden Adam’s apple under the dark gray turtleneck sweater. From Myrna ‘s perspective, the man’s profile seemed to be cast in a shadow, which added a bit of vague warmth to his cold expression.
“It should be hard to get a taxi nearby at this time. I also need to go home. Let’s get in the car.”
In the car.
Seeing that Myrna was very cold, Dempsey turned up the heating to maximum.
Remembering that there was a heating pad in the car drawer, he took it out and handed it to her: “Warm it up first.”
Myrna felt that her hands were no different from popsicles. After using a heating patch and with sufficient heating in the car, she gradually felt like she was coming back to life.
“Thank you, I almost thought I would freeze to death at the airport.”
She sniffed. Joanna said she would arrange a driver, but she didn’t want to make any trouble, so she refused. However, she didn’t expect that it would be difficult to get a taxi at the airport.
Dempsey glanced at her and said, “Because of the international conference , there have been traffic restrictions recently, including online ride-hailing services, so it’s hard to get a taxi.”
Myrna suddenly realized: “No wonder there are so few taxis on the road. I almost thought I went to the wrong place … ”
She turned her body sideways and looked at Dempsey : “What about you? How come it’s such a coincidence that you’re at the airport at this time?”
Dempsey explained: “An elder returned home and I came to pick her up, but she couldn’t wait and went back by car first.”
He drove back after receiving the call, but suddenly, because of the high beam, he saw Myrna standing in the cold wind in the rearview mirror , so he turned back.
Myrna nodded without asking any more questions.
When waiting for the red light –
Dempsey : “Is it warmer?”
“Yeah,” she bit her lip a little embarrassedly, “after staying in the tropics for a few days, I’m suddenly not used to such cold weather.”
“By the way, I brought you a small gift.”
She remembered something and opened her backpack.
Dempsey was stunned for a moment: ” … gift?”
“Well, not only you, but also the professor, all of them.” Myrna said, taking out his share, “As soon as I saw it, I thought it looked like you.”
Dempsey looked at the sculpture doll in her hand. She was wearing a shirt and trousers, with gold-rimmed glasses on her nose and a book in her hand. Her expression was obviously very serious, but because of the overall exaggerated and cute body proportions, she looked very funny.
The man was silent for two seconds. “Really? I think we are not much alike except that we both wear glasses.”
