Elaine was so angry right then that she almost exploded out of rage. 1
She had just warned Charlie to beware of the old lady i n the morning, but instead of taking her warning seriously, he had bought so many fresh chives home!
Great, now they were like a charity center to the old lady and her family!
If it was in the past, she would have scolded Charlie already, but she didn’t have the courage to do so now. 6
At this moment, Claire asked Charlie in the room," Dear, what do you want to have for dinner?"
Charlie smiled coyly and asked, "You don't usually care about these things, what's with the change of attitude? Why do you want to know what I want to eat tonight?”
Claire pasted on a childlike smile and said, "I want to g o pick some vegetables in the garden. Tell me what you want to eat, I'll go pick them in the garden. What d o you think? Does it sound like a good idea?" 5
Charlie nodded and said with a warm smile, "Let's go together then, just like what we did this morning.”
Claire’s face turned bright red instantly when she recalled her first kiss that Charlie had stolen this morning.
She rolled her eyes at Charlie and chided him shyly, " You can come with me, but don't you dare take advantage of me again!" 1
Charlie tilted his head, pretending to be puzzled." What are you talking about, dear? Take advantage of you? I don't understand." s
Claire snorted, “Anyway, you have to keep at least half a meter away from me!" 5
Then, she turned and went down the stairs. 2
Charlie hurried behind her.
When they came to the yard, Claire gaped in astonishment when she saw the chives circling the fences. "Wow, where did these chives come from? I didn't see them in the morning."
Charlie smiled. "I asked my friend to send them here just now.”
