Chapter 189 Why Don't You Sleep in My Room Tonight
Ebony pointed at the TV screen and was amazed.
At this moment, Lloyd looked at Ebony's face.
He fell silent.
After a while, he tentatively said, "It's very similar."
Ebony immediately said, "Yep, I think it's quite similar. Hey, do you have a photo of Virginia? I'll compare it."
Lloyd shook his head, "No."
Ebony was a little disappointed.
Lloyd said again, "But I have your photo. My desktop wallpaper is yours, do you want to see it?"
Ebony was speechless.
"Gosh, this person must be crazy and doesn't stop for a moment." Ebony thought.
Ebony stopped talking to Lloyd. She reached for the remote control, intending to watch the video again.
Lloyd held her hand when she tried to reach the remote control.
Ebony pulled her hand back, turned her back, and looked at him.
Lloyd got up and said, "Don't watch it."
Ebony still wanted to watch it, so she held onto the remote control.
Lloyd asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
Oh? hungry?
Ebony touched her stomach. On the way there, she didn't eat any food in the car and had cried a few times just now, which took a lot of her energy.
Ebony sucked her teeth. She was really hungry!
Ebony put down the remote control and stood up immediately.
Lloyd turned around and walked towards the door.
Ebony hurriedly followed him, and she even took the initiative to open the door for Lloyd and served the benefactor who would pay the bill comfortably.
They had dinner at a nearby seafood restaurant.
The restaurant was not large, only one box was inside, and the decoration was very old.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Ebony said to Lloyd, "This restaurant has been around for many years. When I was a child, my father would occasionally bring me here to eat."
Lloyd washed the tablewares with tea and wiped them. After he was done, he handed them to her and said, "Your father is nice to you."
Ebony immediately said triumphantly, "Of course, he is the best father in the world!"
Lloyd paused and fell silent.
Piece by piece, piece by piece.
Her childhood, youth, and heart's most beautiful part belonged to Pine's family.
Under such circumstances, how should he tell her that she was not actually born to the Pine family?
If he said it, how would she do?
Lloyd lowered his eyes.
After all, he was too soft-hearted.
He was reluctant for her to know the truth.
He didn't want her to be hurt in the slightest.
He was reluctant to let her collapse...
After a while, the dishes were served.
Ebony took a mouthful of garlic scallops, and immediately recommended it to Lloyd, "It's delicious! Have a try!"
She gave Lloyd a piece of scallop, and another piece, and another piece.
Lloyd laughed, and said gently, "I'm enough."
Ebony immediately said, "Okay, if you're enough, I'll help you eat the rest of them!"
After speaking, she took the rest of the nine scallops into her bowls.
Lloyd was speechless.
Ebony ate very well.
While eating, she also sighed with Lloyd, "You know, it's often those humble restaurants that can serve really delicious food, while those high-end restaurants with luxurious decoration, elegant style, and good service attitude are too expensive for me. I can't afford it at all."
Lloyd was speechless.
It was almost nine o'clock after the two of them finished their dinner.
Ebony, wearing a mask, stood at the door of the restaurant, stroking her bulging belly with satisfaction.
At this time, the proprietress of the restaurant came out to pour water and saw Ebony rubbing her stomach, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Wow, you are going to be a mom?"
Ebony was speechless at the moment.
Ebony looked at the proprietress, stunned, "Huh?"
The proprietress looked at Lloyd who was paying the bill inside and said with a smile, "Your husband is very good to you. When I was serving the food just now, I saw that he kept shelling shrimps for you."
Ebony hurriedly explained, "No, no, we're not..."
The proprietress waved her hand and said, "Don't be nervous, you young couples are shy, I know it, and I won't say it. However, it's better not to eat too much seafood when you are pregnant, because it may cause allergies. Pregnant women's immune system is always weak. You can eat it after you deliver your baby, and I will give you a discount."
Ebony was so anxious but she could only continue to explain, "We really not a couple..."
"What's the matter?" At this time, Lloyd, wearing a mask, came over there.
The proprietress snickered and said, "Nothing, nothing, I'm just reminding your wife to eat less seafood these days, because there are many things that pregnant women need to pay attention to. It's better to be careful during pregnancy."
Pregnant?
Lloyd was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were cast on Ebony's face.
Ebony was almost speechless!
The proprietress didn't delay the young couple for too long. After pouring the water, she turned back to the shop and was busy serving guests again.
When there was no one around, Lloyd looked into Ebony's eyes and asked with a smile, "Did you tell her we got married? And have a child?"
Ebony was so embarrassed, "I really didn't say anything!"
The smile in Lloyd's eyes deepened, he took her hand and comforted her, "Okay, you didn't say anything. She got it herself. It's not your fault."
What? What she got!?
Ebony ignored Lloyd, she threw off Lloyd's hand and went back to the car angrily.
Ten minutes later, they returned to the Pine's House.
When they arrived after a few hours of driving, it had been already dark. It was definitely impossible to drive back.
So they could only live here.
When making the bed, Ebony didn't want Lloyd to sleep in her father's room, and she also didn't want him to sleep in her grandparents' room.
However, there are no guest rooms in this house.
The original guest rooms had been converted into grandpa's study and father's collection room.
Ebony saw Lloyd who was making the bed in her father's room. She twiddled her fingers, stood at the door, and muttered, "Lloyd, why don't you sleep in my room tonight?"
The man who was putting on the pillow paused.
He turned to look at her in a daze!
Ebony pursed her lips and said, "You sleep in my room, and I sleep in my father's room. Change it, okay?"
Lloyd was speechless.
He threw the pillow back on the bed and said wearily, "Your bed is a little short for me."
Ebony was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the bed in her room seemed to be a children's one, and the length of the bed was only 1.6 meters in total.
Therefore, Lloyd can only sleep in her father's room tonight, and she had to go to sleep in her grandparents' room.
Ebony felt gloomy but didn't say anything.
This house, in essence, didn't belong to her, but to Lloyd's.
They arranged rooms well.
When Lloyd was taking a bath, Ebony ran to the living room to watch the videotape again.
When Lloyd came out of the bathroom with droplets on his body, he saw Ebony holding the remote control, squatting down on the floor in front of the sofa, and staring at the TV screen, with tears in her eyes.
Lloyd sighed, he walked over and touched the girl's smooth black hair.
Ebony looked up at him.
Maybe it was because the light in this house was not very good.
Maybe the environment of this house had touched her too much.
Maybe the behavior of Lloyd stroking her head overlapped with some pictures in her memory.
Ebony's lips moved, unexpectedly, she couldn't help muttering: "Dad..."
Lloyd fell into silence.
He thought a while and had no choice but to reply, "Good girl."
Ebony also fell into silence.
