Hearing this, although Elizabeth was shocked that he was hungry after eating so much, she didn't think much about it. She just stood up and took the bowl in front of him, "Then I'll add some rice for you."
But as soon as she took the bowl, James grabbed the other side of the bowl.
Elizabeth looked at him puzzledly, "Why are you dragging the bowl? I'll get you some rice."
James coughed softly and looked at her again. "I mean I am hungry."
"That's why I'm going to get you some rice!"
"..." He frowned. Looking at her big and clear eyes, he could not help but feel a little depressed.
His little wife was really too innocent! How can he be so hungry after eating so much? He obviously didn't want to eat food, but something else. He wanted to eat her, okay?
But...
Forget it! If he said something more straightforward, what if he scared her at that time? He didn't want to be called as pervert by her!
He stood up irritably and let go of his hand in annoyance, "I don't want to eat anymore!" If he had another bowl of rice, he would have been stuffed to death!
"Hey! You..." Elizabeth looked at him blankly, "Didn't you say..." Before she could finish her words, he said grumpily, "I suddenly don't want to eat!"
"Alright!" She nodded, "It's better to eat less at night."
Hearing Elizabeth's words, James couldn't help but glare at her and turned to leave. After two steps, he stopped and turned around again. He said angrily, "Elizabeth, do you dare to be more stupid?"
"..." Elizabeth did not know why he suddenly became angry. She just looked puzzled as he went upstairs, wondering if the food was not up to his taste.
But seeing that he had eaten most of the dishes, it shouldn't be the case!
Enduring the doubts in her heart, Elizabeth helped Jane to bring the bowls and dishes into the kitchen. As soon as she came out, she saw James come down again in his coat.
"Are you going out?" She looked at him and asked.
James walked to the door without looking sideways, "Yes."
"It's so late..."
The door was closed with a huge sound, which stopped her from finishing her words.
Elizabeth looked at the door and was stunned for a few seconds before she turned back and went upstairs.
On the dressing table in the room, there was the bunch of roses that he just sent her. She smiled and walked over, and couldn't help but touch the bright petals. One, two, three...
She counted twice, and there were ninety- nine roses.
Did this mean he wanted their love to last forever?
The smile on her face became bigger. She took a photo of the roses with her mobile phone and wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
Looking at the photo, she couldn't help but think of the abnormal behavior he had just made. He said he was hungry, and asked her if she could be any more stupid...
She thought it over and over again, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. Was it that the hunger he was talking about wasn't the hunger she thought?
Her heart was pounding.
Elizabeth searched for it online. She couldn't help but blush when she saw a few similar answers.
No wonder he looked so strange when he just said he was hungry. No wonder he wouldn't let her add rice for him. No wonder he called her stupid...
She stood there with her mobile phone in her hand. She was a little nervous, but also a little... excited?
If he came back later... If he hinted at her in such a way, what could she do? Shall she agreed with him shyly, or be reserved and reject him? Or shall she just slept in his room directly?
