A boy, maybe five or six years old, was seated on the other side of the woman and was using a knife and fork to eat. He looked like a little gentleman and was quite cute.
Probably aware that someone was looking at him, the little boy looked up at Lily and then smiled at her. He was a little shy but very well-behaved. Lily liked it at a glance.
The boy was adorable. Seeing him, she suddenly remembered what Alexander had said before.
He had assumed she wanted a child and suggested a son and a daughter when she brought the two wood carvings home. At the time, she chastised him for spouting nonsense, but now that she had given it some due thought, she realized that a baby with Alexander would be pretty adorable.
Raising the corners of her lips, she turned her head and took a picture of the food with her phone. She then sent it to Alexander with a message, “Food porn.”
Considering the jet lag, it must be very late over there, and he had probably gone to bed. She did not expect a reply. The message was a comfort for her because she missed him.
Unexpectedly, he replied very quickly and sent her a photo of steak and mashed potatoes, with a reply, “Likewise.”
How interesting! The more they interacted, Lily felt that they were becoming closer. It was cruel that he sent her a picture of her favorite dish. She felt as if she could smell the delicious steak over the phone.
She pouted, held the phone with both hands, and replied, “Eating alone in the middle of the night will make you fat!”
“I’m already married. Who cares if I’m fat?” He replied.
Whoa! How dare he say that!
