Chapter 241 Shopping at the Supermarket
“You are a liar, just fooling my mother. I have been back for a while, but I even don’t have your Wechat. Tsk … ugh …”
Mike shook his head with a sigh, crossed his legs, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, flirtatious, humorous and amusing, manly and gangly handsome.
“What’s wrong with you, Vivian? Hurry up, go add your Uncle Mike’s WeChat and leave a phone number.” Madame Cheal glared at Vivian with a displeased look.
Vivian resisted in her heart, but she could only nod stiffly, “I’ve been busy lately and didn’t have time.”
With that, she got up and walked over to Mike, took out her phone and swiped Mike’s WeChat QR code, and left her phone number.
The scene was all done under the watchful eye of Morris, but he was silent the entire time, quiet as if he had no presence.
The atmosphere in the living room grew warm, and several people ate dinner together in the evening.
Madame Cheal took Vivian to practice Tai Chi with her in the backyard for a while before reluctantly letting her go and telling her to visit more often.
“Okay, Grandma, I’ll be back to see you more often. Bye.”
At the entrance of the old mansion, Vivian waved with Madame Cheal and drove away with Morris, each getting into their cars.
Madame Cheal stood with her personal servant.
She watched the car fade away, couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, “Her personality is so much like my daughter, if my daughter is still alive, she’s also this old with her, right?”
Madame Cheal had always held her youngest daughter in her heart, and it was the fact that Vivian’s personality was exactly the same as her youngest daughter’s that made her feel extra affectionate and fond when she saw her.
“My daughter also likes to practice martial arts, play chess, has a frank and lovely personality, is quirky, filial and kind. When she smiles, she looks like Vivian, with inconspicuous dimple on her face …”
When people get old, they always like to miss the past, especially when some things are knots in their hearts that they can’t let go of.
Madame Cheal were married at the age of eighteen, and in the following year, she gave birth to Morris’ father, Maddox Cheal, while Morris’ mother’s name was Pearl Bradley.
After having Maddox, Madame Cheal gave birth to several children, and originally the family was prosperous and harmonious, but then her husband got drunk and hung out with woman outside and had Mike, and after that, Madame Cheal was always haunted by it.
Then, when she was nearly forty-four, she was pregnant with a girl.
Being of advanced maternal age, having a child is very dangerous, but Madame Cheal decided to give birth to her youngest daughter, Katie Cheal.
Katie Cheal was lively, quirky and very likeable, but just ten years ago, she died unexpectedly.
For this reason, Madame Cheal was heartbroken and depressed for some time before she came out of the shadows.
This was the reason why Madame Cheal later liked Vivian at the first sight she saw Vivian at the Night Apartment.
When she first met Vivian, she deliberately put on makeup to make her look ugly, but her playful and cute nature allowed Madame Cheal to vaguely see the shadow of her young daughter in her.
As she later came into more and more contact with Vivian, she only grew to like this kind and filial and optimistic girl more and more.
“Even though Katie is gone, it’s good to have Vivian with you in the future. Vivian is a good-hearted girl, and she’s a nice person.”
The servant, who was supporting Madame Cheal beside her, comforted her, then added, “Go inside. It’s late autumn, and it’s windy and cold outside.”
…
Vivian didn’t know these things about the Cheal family, much less why Madame Cheal liked her so much.
All she knew was that a trip to the old mansion today disguised as a direct rejection of Morris had served her purpose.
But as she drove all the way towards her apartment, she noticed that Morris’ car had been following behind her as well.
Not wanting to let Morris know where she was staying now, Vivian turned her car and drove to a nearby mall, wanting to visit a supermarket and do some shopping on the way.
As a result, as she had just parked her car in the underground garage of the mall, Morris also pulled up beside her and they both got out at the same time.
Vivian was quite helpless, but still put on a cold stance, “What are you doing following me here?”
“It’s early and boring.”
Morris straightened his trench coat and walked over to her.
“I want to go to the supermarket, are you sure you want to join me?” Vivian reached out and pointed at his face, the meaning seemed to be saying, are you sure you’re fit to appear in a crowded place like a supermarket?
The man lifted his hand to gently brush her fingers away, “I’m not as famous as you think, it is okay.”
Although he said so, Morris still pulled out two black masks from his pocket and handed another one to Vivian.
Morris had always acted in a low profile, and although the middle and upper class people in L City basically knew him, the ordinary social class was busy working to earn money every day, so who would notice him?
But considering what had been going on lately because of the wedding reception issue, it was safer to wear a mask.
“All right.”
Vivian took the mask, put it on, and the two walked towards the entrance of the supermarket.
As she walked, Vivian suddenly asked curiously, “When was the last time you went to the supermarket?”
Morris thought carefully and gave a vague answer, “A few years ago, I think.”
“Gosh, what a pointless life if you don’t go to the supermarket for years? It is boring.”
She shook her head in lament, feeling that the life of someone like Morris was rote and uninteresting.
The two walked into the entrance of the supermarket at the peak of the supermarket traffic.
Morris walked in, heading straight for the entrance, and Vivian reached for a cart, muttering, “You’re not buying anything?”
The man turned around and immediately turned and walked over, “Let me do it.”
Vivian let go of her hands, letting him push the cart.
Entering inside the supermarket, she idly looked left and right.
Seeing a favorite snack, she picked it up and waved it towards Morris, “Do you want this?”
Morris: “Buy it.”
Vivian picked up another box of nuts, “What about this one, do you eat it?”
Morris: “Buy it.”
After two more steps, Vivian took a box of chocolates on special offer and asked again, “Do you want this? It’s on sale, buy two get one free.”
Morris: “Buy it.”
At first, Vivian thought that Morris was in need of these things as well, so she took two of each item.
Until she picked up a big bag of spicy chips and turned to Morris, “Do you like this?”
Morris: “Buy it.”
Vivian: “… Are you sure you will eat all of these?”
She said as she reached out and pointed to the pile of snacks in the cart.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
