"Is this... for me?" Looking at the bubble tea in disbelief, Elizabeth was pleasantly surprised.
James nodded lightly, "Yeah, I don't enjoy drinking it." Well, how strange it would be if... a man drank bubble tea!
"You're so strange today." Elizabeth stared at James for a while, "You actually bought bubble tea for me on your own initiative!" He never allowed her to drink it before! Pigs might fly!
"Don't you want to drink it?" James raised his eyebrows, "If you don't drink it, I'll throw it away." Then, he was ready to get the bubble tea.
"No!" Elizabeth quickly held it with both hands, "You said that it is a shame to waste food!"
James took back his hand, "I was just kidding. Drink it."
After taking several deep draught of the bubble tea, Elizabeth couldn't help but sigh with emotions, "This is so yummy!"
"Is it really so delicious?"
"Of course." Elizabeth nodded, "Why don't you have a try?"
James curled his lips in disgust, "No."
"Forget it. This is even not enough for me to drink."
"But, why did you buy me this all of a sudden? You didn't let me drink anything outside before."
"I've agreed that you can go out. If I'm not by your side, you will drink bubble tea, won't you? Since I've promised you that you can go out, it means that you can eat the food outside. Understand?"
Elizabeth nodded with a smile, "I know. That's why I said you're good. But it is different today. You took the initiative to buy it for me, right? Therefore, I'm puzzled."
"What's so strange?" James snorted, "You're willing to take wedding photos with me, so I bought something to reward you. Well, that's it." After that, he turned his head away unnaturally and did not look at her anymore.
After all... he wouldn't tell her that it was because he had been studying the knowledge of pregnancy and learnt that she could drink bubble tea occasionally. Otherwise, how could he buy it for her?
Elizabeth was stunned at first, and then she said, "Don't you think that the food outside is unhealthy?"
Hearing this, James gritted his teeth slightly. What the hell? When he didn't allow her to eat these food, she complained in front of him every day and looked at him with pitiful eyes. But after he allowed her to eat it and even took the initiative to buy it for her, she kept questioning him.
He shouldn't have bought it for her!
However, he couldn't really say so. He had to be patient and said, "Have you read the books I bought for you? It is said that you can eat these foods occasionally. They're experts, so just listen to their words."
Elizabeth fought the urge to giggle, "Okay."
Although she said so, she thought in heart, "You bought it just because I said that I was thirsty and the water in the studio is unpleasant to drink. I can't laugh at you, can I? Humph!"
Moreover, he said that the experts' words were unreliable before, but what about this time? However, she was smart enough not to mention it. It was good that he could let her drink bubble tea. If she said something else to provoke him, he wouldn't buy it for her again.
After a while, Elizabeth said, "James..."
"What's the matter?"
"Uh... I'm a little hungry..."
James turned his head and looked at Elizabeth in shock, "Haven't you just drunk this? Do you get hungry again?"
