In the morning, while Sherry was still dreaming, she was awakened by the doorbell.
She buried her head in the quilt, trying to block out the sound, but the doorbell didn't seem to stop but continued to ring.
She picked up the phone and checked the time, and saw that the courier called her twenty minutes ago.
After rolling on the bed several times, she reluctantly got up.
She held her breath, walked to the door dizzily, opened the door and said, “I'm sorry, I fell asleep. I didn't hear...”
“Morning.”
As the voice of the incoming person rang out, Sherry paused for a while, and instantly came to her senses.
She rubbed her eyes, looked at the person in front of her, and said incredulously, “Why is it you?”
Daniel didn't understand very well, and looked sideways, “Apart from me, who else?”
“I…”
She picked up the phone again, and saw that the courier sent her a text message, saying that she had not answered the phone, and he would go to another place to deliver the parcel and come back later.
She took a breath, looked at Daniel again, and asked angrily in an instant, “Why are you here?”
Daniel lifted the paper bag in front of him and said, “I’m bringing you breakfast.”
Sherry, “...”
“Not to mention whether this breakfast is necessary, don't you have my password? Why do you have to wake me up and open the door for you?”
Daniel said, “Considering our current relationship, I think it would be impolite for me to enter your house directly.”
Was it polite to wake her up?
Daniel said, “Eat your breakfast before going to bed.”
Sherry said, “Thank you, no need.”
Just as she was about to close the door, Daniel reached out and blocked the door, “Your mother explained to me that you have a habit of skipping breakfast. She asked me to watch you eat every morning.”
What?
Is she not awake? Why did she not have the slightest impression that he had talked to her mother about it the other day when he came to her house?
Seeing her doubts, Daniel said, “Yesterday, after you left, I came to your house again.”
“I thought I told you to...”
Daniel said, “It was your father who called and asked me to come over. They told me to take good care of you when you returned to City N.”
Sherry said, “Oh, they just wanted to bring me and you closer, you don't need to pay attention to this. You will not meet in the future anyway, there is no need...”
Daniel asked, “Did you say something to your mother?”
Sherry was confused and asked in return, “What?”
“I thought yesterday, when she looked at me, there was some killing intent in her eyes, and she was not that kind to me anymore.”
Sherry really felt that she has not woken up and was a little confused.
She had told her mother the night before that there was someone she liked, but she didn't say anything specific, just said that although she liked that person very much, they couldn't be together. He was a celibatarian.
Just these scattered pieces, and she absolutely didn’t say that the person was Daniel.
“Then... you didn't tell him?”
She said angrily, “How can I tell him that the person you like is Daniel, and he is a celibatarian, and that you two are not together just keep things vague, which will definitely drive your father crazy.”
Sherry whispers, “Then let’s not tell him.”
On the other end of the line, her mother lowered her voice and asked, “Your... Was it with him?”
She didn't get it at the moment and asked, “What?”
Her mother said, “The thing in your clothes!”
Sherry blushed instantly and shouted, “Mom!”
Hearing her voice, her mother also had an answer in her heart.
Her mother was so angry that she didn't want to speak. Then she said, “Okay, okay, I'm the one who should be mad. Sometimes I envy your dad who doesn't know anything. He even regarded Daniel as his rare drinking buddy and they chatted so happily. He couldn't put down the two bottles of wine that Daniel brought him yesterday, and he almost went to sleep with it at night.”
She added, “I warn you, tell him clearly, if he is really the kind of person who doesn't want to get married and only wants to play with you, stay away from him as soon as possible and don't see him again.”
“Actually, I was far away from him and it was you brought him home again...”
“I... I didn't know that back then! Anyway, I don't think he's reliable, so you have to find someone else to make him give up.”
“I know. I'll take care of it.”
Her mother sighed heavily. “I just don't know what to say to you. Obviously, you are such a beautiful and nice girl. But you always meet bad boys. I have to find a good one for you this time.”
“Mom, don't introduce others to me. This kind of thing is kind of strange. The more anxious you are, the harder you will find good ones. Maybe when you give up, surprises will come inadvertently.”
Her mother sneered, ignored her, and hung up the phone directly.
