Let's Get Married

Eunice goes upstairs with two steps at a time and arrives at home. Thomas and Lorraine are both at home. Lorraine is preparing to stir-fry dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spinach with mustard. These are Eunice’s favourite food.

Eunice puts the roast duck in the kitchen and hurriedly speaks, “Mom, you set up the plate, I’ll go downstairs now and will be back soon!”

“Go downstairs? I thought you just came up here, what are you going to do?”

“I’ll go to the convenience store and take a look.” Eunice simply finds an excuse, takes a white envelope out of her bedside cabinet and hides it in her pocket. Then, she runs downstairs in a hurry.

She trots to a car and gets in after opening the car door. She is afraid of being seen by the people in the same neighbourhood as her.

Ryan looks at her panicked appearance and frowns slightly, “Why do you run in a hurry?”

“Ah…nothing, I’m afraid that I’ve made you wait too long.” Eunice is a little nervous as she sits on the passenger seat beside him once again.

Ryan looks askance at her and does not ask any further question. He says straight to the point, “The reason I come to find you today is because of Adair.”

“Adair?” Eunice looks at him in surprise.

Ryan avoids seeing her eyes and his face still does not show any expression. He looks very cold and indifferent, “Well, he keeps telling me that he wants to see you and asks me to ask you when you will be free.”

Hearing him saying that, disappointment rises in Eunice’s heart and her hands which are put on her knees are clenched. Then, she faintly speaks, “I may have no time for these few days, but I am free on the weekends.”

No time?
