Chapter 78
There were six huge durians in the box with incisions on them. As soon as the box was opened, the foul fragrance of the durians wafted out of it.
“Damn, who would give you a box of durians out of the blue?”
Lyra immediately picked up a durian and held it to her nose to take a whiff. Then, she said in approval, This durian has quite the smell!*
Right after that, Lyra looked at the delivery man and asked, “Who’s it from?”
The delivery man replied, “A man asked me to deliver this.”
“A man?”
Lyra turned to look at Maeve, asking. “What’s this? I didn’t think someone else would be trying to court
you.”
Maeve shook her head.
She had no idea who the durians could be from.
In her previous life, she didn’t know many men. Ever since she got married to Sergio, she had even less contact with members of the opposite sex
Moreover, who would send her so many durians for no reason?
“Damn, what is this man thinking, sending durians to a girl? He must have terrible EQ!”
Lyra said, “My brother is much better. He definitely wouldn’t do something stupid like this!”
Before Maeve could say anything, her phone rang, indicating that it was a call from Zion.
“Hello?”
“Did you receive the stuff?”
Zion’s voice was composed and serious on the other end of the line.
Maeve glanced at Lyra beside her and then at the durian in Lyra’s hands. She asked, “Could it be that…. you were the one who sent me these durians?”
“Do you like it?”
Maeve parted her lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Did she like it?
Durians were quite delicious,
But why would he send her durians out of the blue?
“Lyra likes it quite a lot.”
