Sharon also felt a little mushy as she listened to the young couple's conversation, but when she thought of Stanley who had never called her baby or darling, she resolutely nodded and said, "Yes!"
She really wanted to hear him calling her intimately.
Stanley couldn't say these sappy words for sure. He was about to refuse her immediately, but when he saw her expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to do so.
Sharon looked at him eagerly.
Stanley stroked his forehead and said, "Don't you think it's quite disgusting?"
"A little."
"Then why do you still want to hear it?"
"Because I want to hear you call me like that." Sharon felt that she was quite thick-skinned. "Do you want to do it or not?"
There was a hint of threat at the end of her words.
Stanley narrowed his eyes. "Two options. Either I call you one of those mushy nicknames or I buy you ice cream. Choose one.
Sharon swallowed subconsciously. The ice cream was a great temptation for foodies.
"You won't call me like that anyway, will you?" Sharon asked.
Stanley nodded.
At least there was one thing she could choose!
She would choose ice cream then!
No matter what, Stanley would not call her in such a disgusting way.
"I want ice cream!" Although Sharon didn't feel good that he didn't even want to fulfill her wish into calling her baby or honey, figuring that he didn't love her, she didn't take it to the heart when she thought of eating ice cream. "I want two!"
Stanley's expression gloomed. "No!"
Sharon squinted at him and said, "Call me baby, then I won't eat the ice cream."
Stanley looked askance at her.
Two minutes later.
The owner of the dessert shop looked at the man and woman walking away and shouted happily, "Come again next time. I'll give you a discount."
Sharon held two cones in both hands and said with a smile, "Okay, uncle, we'll come again when we have time. Thank you for giving me one more ice cream."
After that, Sharon looked at the cone in Stanley's hand.
The owner of the dessert shop waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
Sharon licked the ice cream and was so happy that her eyes were almost narrowed into a slit. She looked at the man beside her and said, "Eat it!"
Stanley seldom ate sweet food. He didn't take a fancy on such sweet food.
"You don't like it, do you?" Sharon's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then you hold it for me. After I finish mine, I'll eat y..."
Before she could finish, she stared in astonishment as Stanley slowly put the ice cream into his mouth.
Didn't he say that he didn't want to eat it?
Stanley glanced at her and swallowed the coldness in his mouth. "I won't give it to you even if I don't like to eat it. It's my greatest limit to let you eat two cones, and you want to eat three?"
Sharon pouted at him in dismay.
Stanley took two bites, but he still didn't like it, so he threw it away when he saw a trash bin.
Sharon's face was full of pity and forlorn. "What a waste..."
Stanley took out a tissue to wipe the stickiness on his finger, and his movements were elegant and reserved as usual.
Sharon licked the cone and asked curiously, "Why don't you like ice cream? It's so delicious."
She felt strange that there was someone in the world who didn't like to eat these pleasant desserts.
Stanley glanced at her. "Do you think everyone is just like you, a foodie?"
