Babel Novel
Chapter 24 I Won’t Eat You
Suzanne followed Edwiin into the elevator and saw a few women gathered not far away at the front desk. They were discussing something interesting with smiles on their faces, and they even stole a few glances at the elevator.
Suzanne, who was experienced in the TV station, couldn’t be more familiar with their gossipy faces. She was shocked and moved aside a little, trying to keep a distance from the man next to her.
No matter how subtle her movements were, they could not escape Edwiin’s eyes.
However, Edwiin didn’t say anything. When the elevator reached the parking lot on the first floor underground, he just glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and took the lead in walking out of the elevator, taking away the cold air in the elevator.
Suzanne followed him. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Edwiin, should we drive back on our own or?”
Suzanne, were you stupid?
As soon as she said that, Suzanne wanted to scold herself in her heart, “Why did I ask him? I can just tell him that you should drive your car. I can just drive my car back so that they won’t be embarrassed in the same car.”
“Drive your car,” Edwiin said.
How could she take back what she had said?
Suzanne could only let out an “OK” in response to Edwiin’s reply.
She looked at the serial number on the wall and looked for her car. Then she trotted over, started the car, backed it out of the parking space, and stopped it beside Edwiin.
After Edwiin opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, Suzanne felt that the air in the car suddenly became cold.
After he buckled up, Suzanne drove the car slowly. After driving out of the parking lot and onto the road, she stepped on the gas pedal and switched to the third gear, and then drove smoothly on the road.
Neither of them said anything, and there was an inexplicable awkwardness in the air.
Sitting next to her was a man with a cold and stern aura. Suzanne was extremely nervous and a little scared. She had never felt that the road back home she couldn’t be more familiar with was so long.
“Why are you so nervous?” Edwiin said flatly, “I won’t eat you.”
Suzanne was startled. She stepped heavily on the accelerator, causing the car to fly out like an electric motor. The car sped up so quickly that she quickly let go of the foot that was stepping on the accelerator.
When the car slowed down, Suzanne breathed a sigh of relief.
Last time, she was racing because she was too depressed and wanted to find a way to vent her anger. This time, however, she was frightened by Edwiin’s words. It would be very embarrassing if she had an accident.
Suzanne didn’t know how to respond to Edwiin’s words. She could only smile awkwardly and purse her lips, pretending to be driving very seriously, for fear that he would “excite” her with his words again.
Soon, the car arrived at Morrison’s house.
After parking the car, Suzanne followed Edwiin through the door and changed into slippers at the entrance.
Smelling the faint aroma coming from the kitchen, Suzanne quickly threw her bag on the sofa and walked quickly to the kitchen. As expected, she saw Afra busying herself there.
“Mom.” Suzanne walked into the kitchen and hugged Afra from behind.
“Let the servants prepare the dishes from now on. You don’t have to cook all the time. It’s too tiring.”
“I’m just afraid that you and your brother will get tired of the dishes cooked by the servants and won’t come back.” Afra touched her nose with her fingers and smiled gently.
“How can we?” Suzanne stuck out her tongue and looked a little cute, “Edwiin and I will come back whenever we’re free.”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Afra snorted, apparently not convinced by Suzanne’s words. She put on gloves and took out the delicious crabs that had been steamed red in the steamer.
