......
However, even in his dreams, Elijah did not know what he did today would become his greatest mistake and greatest regret in his life.
Without thinking, he lifted his feet and Carolien followed. The two of them then went to the largest shopping mall nearby.
In an elegant restaurant, they randomly chose a quiet spot.
When the dishes arrived at the table, Elijah realized that they ordered quite a large amount of food. The house's special ribs and special braised shrimps were all fried. The shredded pork dish was filled with meat. The only vegetable dish was drenched in oil. It was his first time seeing a spread that was filled with oil.
He looked up and glanced at the slim woman in front of him. She was the one who ordered ribs and the vegetable dish. They looked so greasy. Would she eat them?
Just as the thought passed his mind, he saw that she had wiped her hands with a wet tissue and started on a piece of ribs.
Elijah was at a loss for a moment. Before he could start eating, he saw her gobbling down pieces of meat, one after another. She ate quickly yet her movements were graceful.
As far as he could remember, it was his first time watching a lady eat so much meat so quickly. Elijah's eyes widened. How much did he starve her?
Seeing that she wiped her hands, then after a while, she had eaten a lot of ribs, Carolien raised her chopsticks again. Elijah reached out and stopped her chopsticks.
"Uh?"
Looking at him, Carolien retracted her chopsticks and frowned slightly. She pursed her lips unhappily. What was he doing? Did she affect him just because she was eating? Did she make any sound?
He lifted his eyes and said, "You shouldn't eat so much meat on an empty stomach, aren't you afraid of indigestion or becoming fat? Have some soup and eat some vegetables first! The shrimp is good and very tender—"
As he spoke, Elijah glanced at the small bowl of soup near her. He also placed a big shrimp in her bowl.
Looking at the shrimp in her bowl, Carolien thought that peeling shrimps were a hassle. She wrinkled her nose and picked up some vegetables. "No! I am a meat lover. I eat like this all the time!"
How could she get fat after such a large amount of activity? If she didn't eat like this, she would not be in a good mood for a day!
Once again, Elijah looked at her. "Meat lover?"
He scanned her with a meaningful gaze. He asked teasingly, "How many times in a day?"
"Three times a day, of course..." She was a good girl, and she ate per schedule!
Caroline suddenly realized something and gasped quietly. She stopped talking and blushed furiously. Why did it sound weird?
She was still chewing the meat in her mouth. Suddenly, she did not know whether to swallow it or not.
Carolien closed her mouth and glared at him. Then, she started chewing fiercely, as if she was biting someone. She wanted to tear his handsome face to pieces.
Then, she took another piece of pork ribs and said,
"That depends on my mood! After all, I like to eat and chew human flesh. If I encounter annoying people, such as now... I can chew 10 or 20 pieces!"
It would not be a problem to chew a hundred pieces. She said to chew and not swallow!
As soon as she finished speaking, Carolien took a big bite and gave him an extremely vicious and self-enlightenment look.
He was delighted by her and smiled faintly. Elijah took another piece of pork ribs for her, "A beautiful woman stays below 100 pounds! God favors you!"
All the women he met were very controlled, even when drinking juice. Such a beautiful woman like her was a little -- unexpected!
Carolien rolled her eyes and wiped his hands. She then picked up her soup bowl and said, "Then she must be either flat-chested or short!"
Women who were so harsh on themselves to the point of self-abuse were mostly forced by boring men. Men were all visual animals controlled by their lower halves! Food was important so if one couldn't even enjoy good food, what was the joy of living?
A woman needed to have a great image, give birth to children, stay beautiful, be financially independent and win against mistresses. Women were also expected to be good with household matters, be gentle and virtuous, make money to support their families and raise children. They had to be good at everything but not be too powerful. How was it a crime to be fat?
Women never despise men for their ugly looks. Why do men despise women for being fat?
Just disappear!
She did not care about this. As long as she was healthy and happy, she could eat whatever she wanted!
