Chapter 217
“I can do it.” Kaleb politely responded to Professor Smith’s words and gently asked me, “Do you want to eat with everyone?”
Giana pushed me towards Kaleb. In a sudden and unexpected move, I fell into his solid chest, and he reached out to embrace my shoulders.
“Got it!” Giana said with a smile, urging in a disdainful tone, “Let’s go, let’s go. Your husband is here to pick you up personally, so you don’t need to eat with us.
I hadn’t spoken yet, and everyone waved goodbye to me with friendly smiles, then followed Giana as she continued walking forward. His chest was also warm and comfortable. I dared not linger, quickly taking a step back from his embrace. Kaleb’s hand in mid–air trembled slightly; he tightened his fingers, slowly lowered his hand, turned around and went down, opening the door of the passenger seat.
“Get on the car.”
I walked over and pointed behind me, saying, “I sat…”
Kaleb interrupted, “It had already been disinfected and cleaned, very tidy.”
His meaning was easy to understand, and I didn’t insist anymore; I sat in the passenger seat. I got on the car and fastened my seatbelt. Taking a deep breath, I noticed that the scent in his car had changed. It was a faint and pleasant fragrance of magnolia flowers. The fragrance of the magnolia tree in front of my grandmother’s house, when it was in full bloom in April or May, was the most brilliant.
Kaleb got on the car; he didn’t fasten his seatbelt, but instead picked up the small bag next to him and handed it to
- me.
“What?” I curiously took over.
“Are you hungry?” Kaleb fastened his seatbelt.
“I was quite hungry.” I opened the bag and inside, there was a bottle of yogurt, a pack of bamboo shoots, and a small cake.
“Let’s grab a bite to eat first.” He started the car and drove away.
“Can I eat in your car?” I was very surprised. Even people who are not germophobes can’t stand others eating in their car. There was a strange smell, and there was also a possibility of dirtying the car.
“Sure, if it gets dirty, we’ll wash it.” Kaleb drove attentively, with the car interior still illuminated, making it convenient for me to eat.
