My Second Husband novel Chapter 987

Charlie didn't say a single word. In the end, Cindy bought him a cart full of groceries.

After they paid for the groceries, Cindy's stomach let out a growl.

Charlie looked at her strangely, "Haven't you had dinner yet?"

"I'm fine!" Cindy shook her head. "There's plenty of food left in the kitchen. I'll eat when I return!"

Charlie frowned. "I've told you, I don't need your help. Forget it. What do you want to eat?"

Cindy was surprised, as if she had just heard shocking news.

Charlie looked at her. "What's the matter? Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"I...Anything will do."

Charlie was annoyed, but in the end, he said nothing and just strode forward. After a few big steps, he turned back and looked at Cindy, who looked confused.

"Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to eat something? There's a food stall over there. Let's go!" "Oh!" Cindy was flattered and followed hurriedly.

She couldn't hide the grin on her face.

She had fallen in love with Charlie for over a decade, and it was the first time he offered to treat her to a meal.

It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

They had arrived at a hot dog stand. It was operated by an old couple. The old lady had a loud voice, while the old man was just sitting there without moving.

When the lady saw Charlie and Cindy approaching, she spoke first, "Hello! What would you like to eat?"

"I'd like to have a classic hot dog, please!" Cindy said.

The woman glanced at Charlie, "Sure! Right away!"

As Cindy had just sat down, she saw that Charlie was still standing there.

She then said, "Come on and have a seat!"

Charlie answered coldly, "No need. Just eat quickly."

After that, two hot dogs were served.

The old lady put the hot dogs down, "Enjoy!" Then, she looked at Charlie and said, "Our chairs are quite clean. I wipe them daily. Have a seat and try our food!"

Charlie replied, "I'm not hungry!"

When Cindy noticed that Charlie was getting irritated, she said in a hurry, "It's okay, just leave them here. I can have two!"

The old lady smiled, "Did the two of you have a quarrel? Don't be afraid, Miss. I quarrel with that old man every day! Even so, I know that he cares a lot about me."

"Uh, we are not..." Cindy hastily waved her hand.

The old lady smiled again and said, "It's okay, it's just a small talk. You don't have to be shy."

After that, the old lady walked away.

Cindy took a big bite of her hot dog. No wonder the stall had been there for decades. The food was amazing.

She had been used to the exquisite delicacies of Clearwater Bay, so it was good to have something different once in a while.

Cindy was so delighted that she couldn't help but call out to Charlie again.

"It's really delicious. Try it!"

Charlie remained still.

Then, Cindy pulled on his sleeve, "Come on, I'm not going to eat you. You are a grown man. Don't be so shy."

Charlie then sat down and took a bite of the hot

dog. Cindy smiled and looked at him, "How is it?"

Charlie nodded reluctantly, "Mm. It's not bad."

"Not bad? It's delicious!"

As she was enjoying her food, she noticed the old couple next to her.

The old lady was grabbing a few plates that she just washed and was about to stand up. Suddenly, she lost balance and stumbled backwards.

The old man immediately rushed over and grabbed the plates from her hands.
