Chapter 380
Laura livened up the atmosphere, saying, “Don’t just focus on eating these
dishes. We still have plenty of ingredients for grilling. Let’s start grilling and enjoying them.”
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Adam took it upon himself to grill a lamb
chop for Lumma and said, “Here, have a taste!”
Lumma nearly choked on her food and replied, “Mr. Hills, I can handle it
myself.”

Adam responded, “You prepared several dishes for me, so why can’t I grill a lamb chop for you?”
His words seemed reasonable, so Lumma reluctantly accepted and started
eating. To her surprise, Adam continued to help her grill, and her plate was
never empty.
Feeling full from the continuous eating, Lumma decided to take a short break,
watch some TV, and then resume eating later.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe show was too boring, so Lumma took out her phone and checked her
unread messages. She also sent a message to Lucas, saying: [My colleagues just called me to eat. Are you having
Christmas dinner? Do you have someone
to accompany you?]
It took a while before Lucas replied: [I’m currently eating, also with colleagues.]
Lumma: [Are you watching the show?]
Lucas: [The TV is on, but the show is so boring. Everyone is busy playing with their phones.]
Lumma: [It’s the same here. The TV is on, but everyone is engrossed in their phones. Even Mr. Hills is playing with
his phone.]
Lucas: [Is it strange for him to be using his phone?)
Lumma: [Mr. Hills rarely uses his phone. To him, it’s mainly for making calls.
So, seeing him constantly chatting on his phone today makes me curious. I wonder what he’s doing?]
Lucas: [I think he’s probably chatting with his wife.]
Lumma: [Right! How did I not think of that? Mrs. Hills is not here today, so he
can only spend Christmas with us. He must be missing his wife who is far
away in another country.]
wwwwwwwwww
Adam slightly turned his head and looked at Lumma, who was busy typing on her phone. In his heart, he silently
said, “She’s not far away in another
country. She’s right beside me.”
She was within his reach, yet he dared not reach out…
Lumma: [We’ll continue eating barbecue later. What are you having?]
Lucas: [We’re also having barbecue.]
Lumma: [Do you enjoy eating barbecue?]
Lucas: [If you like it, I can like it too.]
Lumma: [What do you mean?]
Adam never liked heavily seasoned food, especially barbecue with its strong smoky flavor. However, Lumma
enjoyed it, so he was willing to try and make himself like it, too.
Lucas: [I like it.]
Lumma: [Then, when we meet, let’s arrange to meet at a barbecue restaurant. It’s been almost a month since I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad authentic barbecue, and I’m craving it.]
Lucas: [OK!]

As they chatted, Lucas eventually steered the conversation towards a boring
end.
Lumma didn’t know how to keep the conversation going, so she looked up and
saw a female celebrity singing on the television. She asked: [Lucas, this female celebrity singing right now is quite
beautiful. Do you like her?]
Lucas: [I don’t like her!]
After reading Lumma’s message, Adam looked up at the large screen TV on the
wall. The woman on TV was wearing a red dress, had a decent figure, and a pleasant face, but she was far inferior
compared to Lumma.
Lumma was satisfied with his response but mischievously wanted to test him
further. She said: [Why don’t you like her even though she’s so pretty?]
Adam had no interest in other women. He replied to Lumma: [I will only love
my wife!]
