Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 69: Let Me Drive You To Work 

"Bang!"

A sound came from near the doorway as if something fell.

Janessa and Eric whipped their heads towards the sound and discovered that Alana was standing by the door.

The expression on her face looked distraught.

She had brought porridge and pickles with her, which she now dropped all over the floor.

Janessa looked into Alana's eyes, which were red and swollen from crying herself to sleep all night.

Even though her eyes were concealed under sunglasses, it was obvious.

"Alana, did you get burned? Are you okay?"

Eric assumed that Alana was burned by the hot food and dropped it because of the pain.

He immediately grabbed a mop from the kitchen and began to tidy up the mess.

As he swept the floor, he kept looking up at Alana with concerned eyes.

"I...I'm fine.I dropped it by accident."

Alana continued to avert Janessa's eyes and attempted to cover up her swollen eyes.

She handed the bags on her other hand over to Eric.

As Eric reached out for her hand, their fingers touched for a brief moment.

At that moment, Alana could feel the warmth from his fingertips.

Her heart ached with longing, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"You brought a lot with you.Have you eaten yet? We should have breakfast together with us.I also brought a lot of food with me!"

Eric grabbed Alana's arm and pulled her into the kitchen.

He was so enthusiastic this morning as if he were the man of the house, while Alana was only a guest.

"I don't have much of an appetite right now.Please take your time and enjoy the food.I suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of, so I should leave now."

She pulled her arm out of Eric's hand and left without looking back at them.

The moment Alana turned to leave, Janessa spotted the tears in her eyes.

Alana must have overheard the conversation between her and Eric.

Janessa had asked Eric whether he had a girlfriend or not.

It wasn't Janessa's intention to hurt Alana.
