Jasper went in. Lyric's house was as clean as before.
The French window was pulled open by her, and the morning sun shone in, making the living room extremely bright.
Jasper placed his breakfast on the table. He had bought some milk and sandwiches.
Eden ordered seafood porridge and bacon for Lyric.
Jasper smiled and said, "It's a lot. It seems that we can't finish all the food."
Lyric was very excited and nervous. She had been watching Jasper's every move, but she didn't notice what he was talking about. Looking at his smile, she was actually very depressed. He didn't come yesterday, but why didn't he tell her the reason?
Was she mistaken?
It was impossible. She had been staring at the message he sent yesterday. He said he would come yesterday.
However, she was not qualified to question him why he didn't come.
"Lyric, what are you thinking about?" Jasper had sat next to the dinning table gracefully.
Hearing his tender voice, Lyric came to sense and looked at him in a daze.
Jasper was speechless.
"Mr. Joye, what did you say just now?"
"Nothing. I told you to eat quickly. The food won't taste good when it turns cold." Jasper raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. He opened the porridge sent from River City Restaurant and put it in front of her.
Then he asked, "Do you want to eat sandwiches?"
"Yes!" Lyric nodded cautiously.
Lyric despised herself for being absent-minded. She took a deep breath and bit her lips hard to compose her complicated emotions. Only then did she pick up a disposable spoon to eat porridge.
The seafood porridge made in River City Restaurant had been her favorite. It was really delicious.
Jasper gave her a sandwich without saying anything.
They ate silently.
After breakfast, Jasper cleaned up the table.
Jasper glanced at her legs and then looked at her who was sitting quietly. She seemed very nervous, and her face often blushed.
No, she was shy.
He couldn't help feeling better.
"Lyric, I'll push you out for a walk." If she stayed at home alone all day, she would think too much.
"Oh, okay!" Lyric really liked his kindness and gentleness.
They were not equal in social status, and she was not good enough for him. She only wanted to stay away from his word and pay attention to him. As long as she could see him.
She loved it when they stayed with each other. There was an unbridgeable gap between their family backgrounds.
Lyric suppressed the bitterness in her heart and tried her best to keep a gentle and beautiful smile.
Jasper pushed her wheelchair and walked on the small path. The morning sun shone on them, making them feel warm.
Many people were doing exercises, and they could hear the chirping of birds.
The atmosphere was warm and comfortable.
"Yo! Sir, you take your girlfriend out for a walk again. It takes a long time to recover from fracture. You have to take good care of her." An old lady looked at them with a smile.
Jasper didn't know her. However, since she said so, it meant that she had seen them several times.
He nodded with a smile and said, "Good morning."
"Good morning. You can go there and have a look. The flowers are really beautiful!"
These days, her inner conflict almost drove her crazy.
She knew that she didn't deserve to be him, but she wanted to see him so much.
After seeing him, she was afraid that she would love him more.
She was afraid that she would fall into the morass of despair by falling in love with him.
Jasper said in a soft voice, "Lyric, look. The flowers here are so lovely. It's late autumn, and some flowers have begun to wither."
"Hmm." Lyric replied and tried hard to calm herself down. She didn't want to think too much.
She looked up at the flowers in the flower bed which were beautiful in color. Compared with other flowers, they looked noble and gorgeous. Moreover, the flowers were colorful, including red, yellow, orange, purple and white.
Lyric asked in surprise, "How come I didn't know that there were such amazing flowers here?"
She suddenly remembered that she rarely had time to visit this place.
Usually, after she went out of the housing estate, she liked to go to the supermarket to buy snacks and go to some ordinary markets.
Walking on the busy and lively streets, she would not feel lonely.
Jasper asked, "How long have you lived here?"
"It has been more than half a year." Then she laughed self-mockingly, "I know this place, but I rarely come here."
Jasper pushed her to a wooden chair and sat there. As long as he tilted his head, he could look into her eyes.
He looked at her, "You've only been here for more than half a year. I've lived here for almost five years, but I didn't meet you before."
Lyric looked over and saw a charming smile on his face. His smile was more brilliant and eye-catching than the flowers, and her heart was touched.
At this moment, she really wanted to be brave and confess her love to him.
She didn't want to be timid and only wanted to love him fearlessly. Looking at his smile, Lyric blinked her beautiful eyes.
