Daniel took Sherry to a street full of restaurants and food stalls.

Sherry thought she was packed for lunch, but the food here whetted her appetite.

She hadn't had a proper meal since she boarded the plane yesterday.

Hence, her appetite was awakened suddenly.

She tried every stall and bought some takeout back to the hotel.

Daniel paid for everything while following her.

Sherry wanted to refuse, but it was easier for Daniel to talk to the stall owners. Hence, she didn’t insist on paying the bill. Instead, she noted down the rough total and decided to transfer the money to him after going back to the hotel.

After they left the street, Daniel asked, “Are you full?”

Sherry nodded, “Yep.”

She might have overeaten, to be honest.

Daniel asked, “Do you want to walk around or go back to the hotel?”

Sherry raised the bags in her hand and said, “It’s not convenient to walk around with them. I’d better go back to the hotel.”

“Okay.”

The car arrived at the hotel after half an hour.

Sherry immediately unfastened the seat belt and said, “Thank you so much, Daniel. As for tomorrow, you don’t need to...”

“I’ll come to pick you up at nine tomorrow morning.”

Before Sherry refused, Daniel had driven away.

Sherry stood in front of the entrance, gaping. She hadn’t finished her sentence.

Daniel left too fast.

She stood motionlessly for a few seconds, turned around, and walked into the hotel.

She put the takeout into the fridge. Lying prone in the bed, she called Stella and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Stella. I didn’t find any chance during lunch...”
