When the car passed a cake shop, she stopped to buy some sweet and sour strawberry cakes.
She was fond of this taste lately.
After buying two cakes, Grace carried them back to the apartment. Charlie had changed his clothes and was about to pick her up.
When he saw her return, he sat back on the sofa. "Why do you eat cakes instead of a meal?"
"I just want to eat them." She licked her lips. "I also want to drink yogurt. I'll buy some from the supermarket downstairs."
Charlie stopped her with a sign. "Eat your
cakes. I'll buy it for you. What else would you like?"
"Oh, pasta!"
Grace could imagine the smell of pasta. "I want to eat pasta!"
Charlie crossed his arms over his chest, looking at her up and down. "Didn’t you eat a lot these days? Do women look quite different after getting married?"
"So are you buying them or not?" Grace raised her eyes. "Are you afraid I'll eat you out of house and home?"
Giving an OK gesture, Charlie chuckled.
"I have a lot of savings. If you can bankrupt me, you're really something!"
What a garrulous man!
While waiting for him to come back, Grace thought of a few more things that she wanted to eat and drink, such as pizza, cookies, orange juice...
Charlie returned with bags of food. He was taken aback as he saw that Grace was surrounded by food and was eating happily.
"You'll go to bed later. Don't eat too much at night. Otherwise, you'll have indigestion. Just eat some cookies and juice."
In a few moments, Mckenzie came. They bumped into each other but didn't speak.
They were still angry after the quarrel last night.
Grace ignored her and went to deal with the ingredients.
Bailee was also at work. She walked fast, looking very diligent and brisk. People would easily have a good opinion of her.
When all the ingredients were ready, it was already three o'clock.
As Grace was about to mash them, Summer called her and said that there was a class reunion in the evening. Summer asked her to go together.
Every year, those who came to the party were good friends with each other. This year was no exception.
After thinking for a while, Grace said okay. They arranged to meet at the bar at six o'clock.
