Chapter 317 Hold On! It's Almost the End


Lloyd turned his head and reached out his finger to flick Ebony on her forehead.


Ebony froze for a moment. She reached up and touched her forehead. And she turned her head to look at the old couple. Then she snapped back, "Oh! Oh. That's what you meant."


Lloyd looked at her in the eye and raised an eyebrow, "So?"


Ebony said, "So what? I'm not going to be in a wheelchair!"


Lloyd, "..."


Lloyd took a deep breath and quietly watched her with his black eyes squinted.


Ebony let out a laugh as she watched him get defeated. Then she bumped her shoulder against his arm and said, "Hey, do you know how many marks you have now? You are thinking something far ahead."


Lloyd froze and knew she understood the meaning of his words.


So, he took her hand and asked, "How many points do I have now?"


Ebony grunted and said, "You're still not passing anyway!"


Ebony hurriedly took her hand out of Lloyd's. She turned as if nothing had happened and looked at the child who was running towards her.


As soon as Virginia ran over, she hugged Ebony.


Ebony put the teacup to the side, picked her up with both arms, and asked, "What can I do for you?"


Virginia wrapped her arms around Ebony's neck and said, "Aunt Ebs, Grandma sent me to get you to watch TV."


Watching TV?


Ebony didn't think too much about it. She just thought her mom wanted to spend more time with her. So, she agreed, "Let's go."


Ebony walked ahead with Virginia in her arms. Lloyd followed behind, holding the cup of tea.


By the time they walked into the living room, Ebony saw her face suddenly appear on the one-hundred-and-twenty-inch TV!


Ebony suddenly stopped in her tracks.


On the TV, she was blocking the door frame of a room with two hands, occupying the room and not allowing others to enter. In the meantime, she said to the people outside, "I want this one! Lloyd, I want the biggest room!"


Ebony, "..."


Ebony was stunned.


'Why... Why... Why is it Love Romance on TV?'


Lloyd, who was in the back, didn't seem surprised.


He pushed Ebony's back lightly and said in a light voice, "Go inside."


Ebony was almost pushed in by Lloyd.


And by this time, on the screen, it had progressed to the point where Lloyd said that his luggage had been put in the room. So, he couldn't give this room to Ebony.


Then, on TV, Ebony saw herself acting like a spoiled child in a displeased manner, saying, "Then what to do?"


Then, Lloyd said in a light voice, "How about we sleep in one room?"


Ebony, "..."


The whole family, "..."


Suddenly, the whole living room was silent.


No one made a sound.


Ebony swallowed. She was too nervous to move.


After a while, Kelly spoke first. She asked in surprise, "Aunt Ebs and Lloyd are already sleeping in the same room? So, aren't you going to have a baby soon?"


Ebony, "..."


Just as Kelly finished her speaking, her father Chadwick, who was on the opposite side of the room, smashed an apple at her with a grim look. The apple hit his daughter right in the brow.


"Ouch." Kelly yelped. She grabbed the apple and turned her head again. Suddenly, she saw Ebony and Lloyd coming in.


The little girl immediately asked, "Aunt Ebs, is it true you slept in one room with Lloyd?"


Ebony had no apple in her hand. So, she walked over a little and threw Virginia out of her arms at Kelly. Virginia was tossed right into Kelly's arms.


Kelly subconsciously caught Virginia. But Virginia was struggling to get out of her cousin's arms and tried to find Ebony!


The whole family then looked at Ebony and Lloyd in unison.


They seemed to have a lot to say. But they opened their mouths several times and couldn't say anything.


At that moment, the frame on the TV changed. Ebony couldn't find any excuse to defeat Lloyd. So, she walked to the opposite room in silence. She didn't insist on changing the room with Lloyd.


The tense air was instantly eased a little. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


Chasidah patted the seat beside her and said, "Ebs, come sit here."


Ebony glanced at Lloyd and went over. She sat down next to her mother.


Darryl also said, "Lloyd, you sit here."


Then, Darryl abducted Lloyd to the farthest spot in the room from Ebony.


Lloyd seemed to be used to it and didn't show his displeasure. So, he sat down calmly.


There were three celebrity couples in Love Romance.


So, in terms of share of airtime, the sixty-minute variety show was to broadcast twenty-minute segments for each family.


The first twenty minutes were devoted to Ebony and Lloyd's family. It was about what happened on their first day home after they were successfully matched at the mall.


Ebony couldn't remember exactly what happened at that time. She vaguely remembered that she and Lloyd had some kind of argument that day.


Two minutes later, Ebony remembered what their argument was about.


In short, Kara Andrew was not happy with Ebony's proximity to Lloyd.


Ebony then reassured her by saying, "Don't worry. I'll get a divorce in half a month."


It turned out that this remark made Lloyd angry.


On the TV, Ebony had just finished saying this.


In the living room, Darryl slapped his thigh and cheered excitedly, "Yes!"


Jon thought it was good too. He was smiling, "Good."


Chadwick also thought it was good. She nodded appreciatively, "Nice."


The entire hall, instantly, turned to peace.


Chasidah took her daughter's hand and patted it on the back, saying with relief, "A show is a show. Your thoughts are right. We have to distinguish between reality and virtual. After the show airs, you should not see him again."


Ebony, "..."


The corners of Ebony's mouth twitched. She didn't know who to put it to them.


It was impossible for her to stop seeing him. Because she would even ask about his current location when Lloyd came home late at night!


The Gibsons were cheered up. They felt that the content of the later episodes should be Ebony and Lloyd pretended to be a couple in a respectful way.


However, five minutes later...


On the TV screen, Ebony and Lloyd were hugging each other.


The whole family, "..."


The air in the hall was once again silent.


Ebony felt a little embarrassed. She explained a little, "I was trying to get the remote control. But he wouldn't give it to me. So, we were a bit... A bit messy for grabbing the remote control."


No one made a sound. They just looked at Ebony's face numbly with a state of having endured a huge blow.


On the TV, the show was still going on.


Ebony went to the kitchen after she didn't grab the remote.


Then Lloyd followed. He was feeding Ebony grapes.


At first, Ebony was determined not to eat the grapes!


But her determination lasted just two seconds. Then, she ate the grapes.


When she started to eat, she couldn't stop.


Then she and Lloyd made up.


That was it... They made up...


Chasidah took a deep breath and felt she was a bit out of breath.


Lydia hurriedly patted her mother on the back and encouraged her, "Hold on! It's almost the end!"


Chasidah nodded with difficulty, indicating that she could hold on a little longer!


There were no ingredients in the kitchen. So, they had to go to the supermarket to buy some.


In the supermarket, after they picked up some items, they went to the checkout. But the two stopped again when they passed the shelf in front of the checkout counter.


Then they started picking out another item.


The condoms...


In an instant, the entire living room went into silence.


Ebony was shocked too. When had she and Lloyd picked up condoms?


What happened to this editing?!


Ebony said in a panic, "We didn't..."


Lloyd was sitting in the corner. At this point, Lloyd, who had been quiet and peaceful, suddenly said calmly, "I will be responsible."
