Chapter 148 No Comparison No Despair
“Many have turned red here. Let’s pick them,” said Annalise as she pointed at the brilliant red
strawberries. “Okay.” Julian smiled and squatted down to pick them. After picking a few, Annalise saw
redder strawberries in other ces. Her eyes lit up. “There are more over there.”
She straightened her back and looked around excitedly. “The strawberries in this farm grow really well.”
She loved agriculture. when she saw fresh and fully-developed vegetables and fruits, she would radiate
joy and enthusiasm.
She was like a marmot, picking a few strawberries and then excitedly darting to the front to pick a few
more. Julian realized that he was not interested in the bright red strawberries that much. He preferred
to watch Annalise picking them. When she devoted her mind to something, she looked particrly
attractive. He just stared at her with his lips curled up. “Hey, you pick some too.” Annalise felt the
burning gaze and looked up at the man with a smile.
“Okay.” Julian then squatted down. Seeing a deformed strawberry, he immediately plucked it and
handed it to Annalise. “Look at this.” “Pfft, it’s so ugly.” Annalise burst outughing when she saw the
strawberry. The woman’s smile caused ripples of happiness to surge through Julian’s body. In order to
make her happier, he found two more hideous strawberries.

One was white, probably because half of it leaned against the soil and wasn’t exposed to the sun. It
was very big, looking like a small pufferfish blowing up angrily. And the other’s top bulged out like a
horn. “Look at these two ” He showed Annalise the warped strawberries.
“Haha, howe you can always find such ugly strawberries?” Annaliseughed again when she saw
it. She took them from Julian’s hand and said, “Don’t pick this kind of strawberry. We don’t want it. The
boss will be unhappy.” Julian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “It doesn’t matter. We’ll give the
boss extra 10 bucks.”
“Haha, deformed strawberries never dreamed that they would be worth more than normal strawberries
one day because of their unusual appearance.” Annalise chuckled. Perhaps it was because of their
good looks, groups of people were drawn to the originally quiet ce all of a sudden. The camera on
the selfie stick was blocked by the crowd.
However, Annalise didn’t care as long as whatever she captured was real and natural. Alexander had
been in contact with the spy watching Julian. When he learned that Julian had parked his car at the
strawberry garden, he narrowed his eyes.
He thought if Julian and Annalise were really going to meet Joseph, it was very likely that they wanted
to give Joseph some strawberries they personally picked. Strawberries were not expensive, but it was
a token of appreciation. He instructed the people watching Julian to keep a close eye on him and not
be discovered. Abigail knew that Annalise and Julian had gone to pick strawberries. So, she said,
“Alexander, let’s find a ce to eat.”
The man retorted unhappily, “We are in the middle of nowhere. Do you see any restaurants? How to
find a ce to eat? Or do you want me to beg the farmers for food?”
He could not afford to embarrass himself like that. Abigail said, “I think there’s a farmhouse at the
strawberry garden, and the pork stew they served is very famous.”
Alexander looked at Abigail in disdain as if he was looking at a retard. “So? We should eat pork stew
there and tell Julian we’re following him?” Abigail was speechless for a moment. Then, she suggested,
“How about I order a few dishes and we’ll pick them upter?” “You are such a glutton. Will you die if
you skip a meal?” rebuked Alexander. Abigail felt even more aggrieved.
Her face fell. She was well-pampered and led an extravagant life. No one had ever treated her so
badly. Therefore, she was infuriated. “Don’t give me that attitude,” Alexander warned. “No, no. I didn’t.”
Abigail immediately forced a gentle smile. After waiting for more than one hour, her stomach was
growling.
Finally, the spy sent a message to Alexander, [Mr. Parks, they’reing out of the strawberry garden.]
[Keep an eye on him.] After sending the message, Alexander leaned forward involuntarily.
The spy replied, [Yes] Alexander’s eyes gleamed in anticipation. About seven or eight minutester, the
spy replied, [Mr. Park, they are eating pork stew at the farmhouse.] Seeing the text, Alexander finally
felt hungry.
Abigail was so hungry that her eyes were blurry. Leaning against the car window, she closed her eyes
to rest. When she found out that Annalise was eating pork stew, she almost drooled.
“There are ready-to-eat sandwiches in the back of the car. Go get three for us,” Alexander instructed
Abigail. He had bought it from the shop next to the car rental shop in case they would get held up too
long on the road. Abigail cursed in her heart, “Am I his servant?” Alexander’smanding tone made
her feel that her life was getting harder and harder.
If Benjamin hadn’t ignored her and left her with no choice, she wouldn’t have endured that for another
minute. Just when she wanted to enjoin Bobby, he said automatically, “I’ll go get it.”
The driver went to the back of the pickup truck to get three sandwiches. Apart from that, he also took
three bottles of mineral water. So, one set for each of the three. Alexander started to open the
packaging of the sandwich.
Staring at the pre-packed sandwich in her hands, Abigall’s eyes filled with disgust. “Annalise is eating
strawberries and pork stew, but I’m having this? Alexander looked up and asked with annoyance, “You
don’t want to eat? Put it back.”
“No, I want to.” Abigail immediately curbed her frustration and forced a smile. At the farmhouse. Julian
and Annalise sat down at the dining table. The waiter immediately came over to pour tea for them and
asked if the dishes could be served.
After receiving an affirmative reply, the waiter immediately went to make relevant arrangements and
came over to help wash the strawberries. Soon, there was a magnificent spread on the table. “You’ve
ordered too much food. This is kind of wasteful.” Annalise said. Julian smiled. “These are all your
favorite dishes. I won’t waste food in the future.”
It was just a simple sentence, but it warmed Annalise’s heart and made her want to cry. She ced her
hand on his thigh. “You also need to order what you like to eat.” “Okay.” Julian smiled and put some
food on Annalise’s te. “Come, try this.”
At a table not far away, the spy also ordered two dishes and ate alone. He secretly took a photo of the
couple eating and sent it to Alexander. Abigail was having a pre-prepared sandwich at the moment.
It looked totally unsavory. The bread had be soggy and the vegetable was mushy. Also, the slimy
sauce dripping down the bread ruined her appetite even more. But she was famished and she was
about to faint.
Reluctantly, she ate it as she had to fill herself up. She was too hungry to care if the sandwich tasted
good. When she heard Alexander’s phone ring, she subconsciously nce at it and saw the photo of
the table filled with delicious food. She was drooling over it and her saliva almost dropped into the
sandwich.
