I rubbed my nose and said nothing in reply.
Hendrix's reply was quite straightforward as he commented, "I will love you with all of my heart!" Then, he added a flower emoji.
Looking at the comments, I didn't think his response was too much. I looked at Naomi strangely and said, "What's wrong?"
She lay on the bed and said, "What else is there? I'm just envious. It's so boring being with Sebastian. He never says nice things, nor is he ever romantic. Even when we are out shopping, he never gives me gifts. Other men will either send flowers or jewelry when they see their girlfriends. Him? Nothing. I'm embarrassed. He owns the Milton Group. How can he be so stingy?"
I smiled faintly and said, "Maybe, he isn't stingy. It's just that he doesn't know that he needs to do such things when he's in a relationship. Just tell him directly what your needs are."
Pouting, she said, "You know what? Once a girl says what she wants out loud, everything becomes meaningless."
I shrugged, not knowing what else to say. Hendrix and I hadn't dated for a long time and we never gave each other gifts. It seemed that everything was so normal. Just responding to each other the way we usually did was enough for us to become a couple that others envied.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help saying, "Naomi, everyone's love is different. People are different in general, so our ways of expressing love are also different. Don't jump to conclusions so easily. My daily life might be something you want, but who says yours isn't just as good? It's more important that you cherish the person in front of you, right?"
She laid on the bed and sighed slightly. After thinking for a while, she said, "Well, I'll call him again and ask if he's available!"
As she said that, she called Sebastian. After a while, Sebastian answered the phone.
The voice on the other end of the line was not loud, but I could still discern his voice as it was quiet in the room.
Sebastian said in a low voice, "Have you eaten yet?"
