Chapter 380


    Laura livened up the atmosphere, saying, “Don’t just focus on eating these


    dishes. We still have plenty of ingredients for grilling. Let’s start grilling and enjoying them.”


    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Adam took it upon himself to grill amb


    chop for Lumma and said, “Here, have a taste!”


    Lumma nearly choked on her food and replied, “Mr. Hills, I can handle it


    myself.”


    Adam responded, “You prepared several dishes for me, so why can’t I grill amb chop for you?”


    His words seemed reasonable, so Lumma reluctantly epted and started


    eating. To her surprise, Adam continued to help her grill, and her te was


    never empty.


    Feeling full from the continuous eating, Lumma decided to take a short break,


    watch some TV, and then resume eatingter.


    The show was too boring, so Lumma took out her phone and checked her


    unread messages. She also sent a message to Lucas, saying: [My colleagues just called me to eat.


    Are you having Christmas dinner? Do you have someone


    to apany you?]


    It took a while before Lucas replied: [I’m currently eating, also with colleagues.]


    Lumma: [Are you watching the show?]


    Lucas: [The TV is on, but the show is so boring. Everyone is busy ying with their phones.]


    Lumma: [It’s the same here. The TV is on, but everyone is engrossed in their phones. Even Mr. Hills is


    ying with his phone.]


    Lucas: [Is it strange for him to be using his phone?)


    Lumma: [Mr. Hills rarely uses his phone. To him, it’s mainly for making calls.


    So, seeing him constantly chatting on his phone today makes me curious. I wonder what he’s doing?]


    Lucas: [I think he’s probably chatting with his wife.]


    Lumma: [Right! How did I not think of that? Mrs. Hills is not here today, so he


    can only spend Christmas with us. He must be missing his wife who is far


    away in another country.]

    Adam slightly turned his head and looked at Lumma, who was busy typing on her phone. In his heart,


    he silently said, “She’s not far away in another

    country. She’s right beside me.”


    She was within his reach, yet he dared not reach out…


    Lumma: [We’ll continue eating barbecueter. What are you having?]


    Lucas: [We’re also having barbecue.]


    Lumma: [Do you enjoy eating barbecue?]


    Lucas: [If you like it, I can like it too.]


    Lumma: [What do you mean?]


    Adam never liked heavily seasoned food, especially barbecue with its strong smoky vor. However,


    Lumma enjoyed it, so he was willing to try and make himself like it, too.


    Lucas: [I like it.]


    Lumma: [Then, when we meet, let’s arrange to meet at a barbecue restaurant. It’s been almost a


    month since I had authentic barbecue, and I’m craving it.]


    Lucas: [OK!]

    As they chatted, Lucas eventually steered the conversation towards a boring


    end.


    Lumma didn’t know how to keep the conversation going, so she looked up and


    saw a female celebrity singing on the television. She asked: [Lucas, this female celebrity singing right


    now is quite beautiful. Do you like her?]


    Lucas: [I don’t like her!]


    After reading Lumma’s message, Adam looked up at therge screen TV on the


    wall. The woman on TV was wearing a red dress, had a decent figure, and a pleasant face, but she


    was far inferiorpared to Lumma.


    Lumma was satisfied with his response but mischievously wanted to test him


    further. She said: [Why don’t you like her even though she’s so pretty?]


    Adam had no interest in other women. He replied to Lumma: [I will only love


    my wife!]
