Tayson thought that it was an attacker and was about to Launch a hard blow. But when the light hit his face, he stopped. Sheffield stood in front of them, gnawing on a flower
He took the flower out of his mouth and handed it to Evelyn.
"Sleeping beauty, you are finally up.”
Evelyn rolled her eyes and stared at the flower in his hand.
“This is a special narcissus that only grows in Dreles. I traveled thirty kilometers to pick this flower for you. Please, take it." He gallantly offered it to her again
‘He traveled thirty kilometers just to pick a flower?’ She was beyond surprised.
Evelyn took the flower from him and breathed in the fragrance. It smelled good.
Sheffield was glad that she accepted the flower without any complaints.
With his hands in his pockets, he said, "You must be hungry. Come on.
I'll treat you to a huge meal tonight. We'll have fried haw apple, bean paste cake, beggar's chicken, steamed rice roll, braised vegetables..."
He went on and on with the list of dishes they were going to eat.
Evelyn was hungry to begin with. With him rambling on about all these delicious food, her stomach rumbled loudly.
Sheffield heard the rumbling sound and grinned. In an instant, he grabbed hold of her wrist and began to walk.
"Come on. After having dinner, we'll go for some drinks in a pub."
That night, Evelyn ate a variety of food that she had never even heard of before. Despite her being a germophobe, she didn't refuse any food that came from Sheffield.
She had just taken a bite of the fried haw apple when he bought a rice cake for her. Both of her hands were full, so he picked a piece of rice cake and held it to her lips.
"Try this. I didn't get the chance to taste it the Last time I was here."
Evelyn opened her mouth slightly and ate the rice cake. After swallowing it, she asked, "You've been here before?"
No wonder he knew the place so well.
"Yes, this is my third time here. But I was here for something else back then. This time, it is purely for fun."
“I see."
Right then, her phone rang. It was Debbie. She slid her fingers across the screen and answered, "Hi, Mom."
“Evelyn, how are you? Are you in bed already?"
"I'm fine, Mom. I'm still outside," she answered honestly.
Sheffield remained silent because he knew that it was her mom on the other end. But, he continued feeding her the rice cake.
