But Cedron had no intention of eating.
He turned his head to Anna and inquired in a deep voice, “What do you want to eat?”
Anna ignored it.
Cedron then asks a second time.
Afraid that it would be cold again, Alexis also hurriedly followed and asked, “Yes Miss Newman, what do you want to eat, we still have to go to the suburb in a while, that place is quite remote, there is nothing, you’d better eat a little bit more or less, it’s good for your body.”
Hearing Alexis’ voice, Anna finally raised her eyelids, her voice muffled, “I can’t eat.”
She didn’t even know where Cedron was going to take herself, and was more or less apprehensive in her heart.
But, when she met Cedron at the entrance of the sanitarium, he made a promise.
As long as she went with him today, then he would agree to whatever choice Anna made afterward.
In other words, after today, she would have nothing to do with Cedron.
Obviously, it was a very happy thing, but I don’t know why, Anna’s heart just sank, as if she was going to lose something very important.
Was it because Cedron was important to her?
But obviously, Cedron just had the exact same face as Rupert.
She didn’t even care about Rupert anymore, so how could she care about Cedron.
Anna’s mind couldn’t help the thoughts drifting away.
Until Cedron’s voice brought her back to reality, “If you can’t eat, have some hot soup.”
“Eh.” Anna didn’t object.
Alexis immediately got out of the car and went to buy food for the two.
The old couple kneading the dough was full of difficulties and said something to Alexis.
Not long after, Alexis ran back, “Mr. Navarro, Miss Newman, that old couple said that they don’t have anything to eat right now, but they can make a little bit of soup separately, so they want you to get off the bus first, and go to the small table next to them and wait.”
Said small table was actually a plank built on a rock for those guests who came and went to simply eat.
Because there were too many people using it every day, the table and bench were all glistening with oil, and the paint had fallen off at the corners.
The old woman came over and carefully wiped them down, but nothing had changed.
“I’m sorry, it’s been a long time and these stains have seeped in, but it’s actually not dirty.”
Looking at the old woman as she struggled to explain, Anna squeezed out a smile, “It’s fine.”
With that, she simply sat down.
Cedron, on the other hand, stood still.
He was well-bred and had indeed never sat in such a place.
Seeing this, Anna wanted to speak up and tell him to go back to the car and wait.
Before she could say anything, Cedron had already sat down across from her.
His face was as usual, and he couldn’t see any dislike or disgust.
“You guys sit down for a little while ah, I’ll get ready now.” The old woman smiled and turned around to go about her business.
Anna and Cedron then sat like this, silent to the end.
Alexis, who was on the side, wanted to speak several times, but couldn’t find a chance.
In the end, he rubbed his nose and went to squat further away.
Forget it, it’s better to let the two of them settle things between themselves!
Finally, the simple soup was served.
It was just a bowl of scallion soup with shrimp and lard set aside, but it smelled delicious.
Anna picked up a spoon and took a sip.
That’s when Cedron, who was in front of her, finally spoke, “That child, you knew it was mine from the beginning, didn’t you?”
“Yes.” Anna replied, “I’m not as promiscuous as you think, and I’m not so confused that I don’t even know who the father of my child is.”
The only person who had ever touched her was Cedron, and this baby, could only be Cedron’s.
“Why, then, didn’t you tell me?” Cedron pressed.
Anna put down her spoon, her tone had calmed to a rock bottom, “Because you hate me.”
