You should go have some regular food instead , " Curtis said casually , suddenly feeling like her presence was really getting on his nerves . " Adriana ! Adriana , over here !

I've got the strawberry bites you love ." The door of the little shop opened , and the owner stepped out carrying a bag , calling Adriana's name . Adriana froze . That voice ... it sounds like the butler from that young man's house back in Govendale . Startled , she turned and looked at him , her voice trembling slightly . " Ernest ? " She vaguely remembered the voice , but after so many years , it had changed a bit , so she wasn't sure . Besides ... back then , her eyes had been injured , and she couldn't see .

She was always someone who was easily satisfied . Ernest turned back to his shop to continue his work . Nicole stood there , jealous and sulking . " Curtis , I want some too . " Curtis didn't even look at Nicole .

He held Adriana's hand as he moved forward . " There are other snacks over there . Want some ? I'll go get in line . " Adriana shook her head . She had two servings of dessert balls - she wouldn't be able to finish them . " Curtis ... " Nicole whined from behind . " Grandpa said you should stay with me . If you do this , I'll tell him you're bullying me ." She started threatening Curtis . But Curtis wasn't the type to be threatened .

" Nicole ground her teeth in jealousy as she turned and left .

" The staff barely had time to process why there were suddenly two people in the fitting room , but she still smiled and nodded . " Okay , I'll wrap these up for you . " Adriana wanted to disappear into a hole in the floor . And yet Curtis acted as naturally as if nothing were happening . After paying , Curtis handed the clothes to Adriana . Adriana was stunned . " You bought these for me ?

" She had expected him to just grab a few random pieces . " You didn't even check the size ... " What if they didn't fit ? That would be such a waste . " I did . They fit you perfectly ." Curtis looked at Adriana , then found a casual seating area , helping her open the dessert so she could eat first . " How did you know my size ? " Adriana asked , surprised . Curtis glanced at her . " Take a guess ." Adriana understood immediately , and her face flushed . Sometimes , he can be so irritating when he's acting all serious !
