Chapter 434 Shopping at the Supermarket
For several days, although Edward and Evelyn hadn't had sex again, the romantic tension filled every corner of the villa.
May cooked three meals a day for them. Evelyn couldn't bear to let her work so hard and insisted on helping, but both May and Edward stopped her.
"You're allergic to smoke, so it's better if you stay out of the kitchen. I'll help May. You, little foodie, just wait to eat."
Edward hugged her from behind, interlocking his fingers around her waist. When his chin rested on her shoulder blade, he couldn't help but kiss her flushed earlobe.
In front of May, Evelyn blushed and squirmed in his arms, "Stop showing off. What can you even do?"
"I won't. I can learn slowly."
Edward's thin lips curved slightly, and he laughed mischievously in her ear, "I learn everything quickly. You know better than anyone how I performed those two nights."
"Stop it! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll step on your foot!"
Evelyn's face turned red with embarrassment, and she had nowhere to hide, so she could only let Edward hold her.
May watched them, smiling so widely that her mouth couldn't close, feeling as satisfied as if she were watching her son and daughter-in-law interact sweetly.
In just a few days, their relationship had heated up rapidly.
They would say good morning to each other in the morning and good night before bed.
They would do housework together and go shopping at the nearby supermarket together.
To avoid being noticed, they wore hats and masks. After all, if the CEO of the Wellington Group and the heiress of the Taylor family were caught meeting like ordinary people, the impact would be as shocking as two top celebrities announcing their marriage.
Moreover, it would cause significant fluctuations in the business world, potentially affecting the stock prices and projects of both companies.
These days, Edward rarely wore his restrictive four-piece suit, opting instead for comfortable and simple business casual attire. But even dressed casually, Edward still stood out in a crowd, shining brightly.
Today, as usual, they went to the supermarket to buy things. It was a large warehouse supermarket, and since it wasn't the weekend, it wasn't too crowded, making it more comfortable to shop.
Evelyn had cooked for Edward for three years, so she knew his tastes very well. The food she bought along the way mostly catered to his preferences.
No matter how much she denied it, her feelings for him were unconsciously revealed in the little details of life.
Edward felt that this was the happiest, most joyful, and most comfortable time of his thirty years of life.
But he should have enjoyed this happiness three years ago. He had the right to be happy back then.
Edward silently followed behind Evelyn, watching her pick up items from the shelves, compare them, check the ingredients and dates, and couldn't help but smile at her careful and serious demeanor.
At this moment, a mother pushing a cart walked past him, with a four or five-year-old boy sitting in the cart. The mother and son were having a great time.
"Evelyn, Evelyn," Edward called her, his eyes curving.
"What is it?" Evelyn asked lazily, glancing at him.
Edward pointed to the cart, "Get in, and I'll push you."
Evelyn was puzzled.
"Walking is tiring. I'll push you, and you can just point to what you want."
"No way, you're so childish!" Evelyn quickly took a step back, full of resistance.
"Come on. Don't worry about me, I'm not tired."
"Who cares about you? I just think it's embarrassing. Look, is there anyone over ten sitting in there?"
Evelyn rolled her eyes at him, twisted her waist, and walked forward, ignoring him.
As she turned, her cheeks flushed, and she lightly bit her soft lips.
Edward obediently followed her, sighing silently.
Although they had done everything a couple should do, he could tell she hadn't fully accepted him. Without his initiative, they couldn't have normal, intimate interactions.
Even though she had given him her hugs, kisses, and body, her heart had only opened a small crack for him.
Edward clenched his fist secretly, his expression becoming determined again, encouraging himself.
'It's okay, take it slow. Everything is getting better, right?'
"Look, look! That couple is so eye-catching! The girl is so beautiful, and the guy is so handsome! Are they models or celebrities?"
Suddenly, a passerby looked at them and excitedly discussed.
"They're covered up so well, how can you tell they're handsome?"
"With that fashion sense, that aura, and those golden ratio bodies, their faces can't be bad!"
"You never know, maybe they're not good-looking."
Evelyn and Edward, with their excellent hearing, heard every word.
Evelyn gritted her teeth in anger, wanting to rush over, take off her mask and hat, and show them her stunning face to teach them a lesson!
At this moment, the two people spoke again.
"What a waste for such a handsome guy to have a girlfriend. It's such a waste!"
Evelyn's fists clenched in anger!
How was she wasting Edward by being with him? Edward wasn't good enough for her!
"How can you be sure they're a couple? They've kept a social distance from start to finish, with no intimate contact at all! I bet they're siblings. They look quite alike at first glance!"
Edward's brows furrowed, his starry eyes narrowed, and a thin layer of anger surged.
"Come on, let's go. May is waiting for us to cook," Evelyn urged him, ready to move forward.
Suddenly, she felt her wrist tighten.
Then her delicate body was pulled by a strong and domineering force, and the next second, she was pressed into Edward's heaving chest.
Before Evelyn could react, Edward's hot hand slid down, tightly gripping her waist, his palm restlessly caressing.
Evelyn raised her astonished face, her beautiful cheeks shimmering, and Edward's thin, burning lips kissed her trembling lips without hesitation.
The onlookers gasped.
Even though they were wearing masks, who wouldn't sigh at the romance of this kiss! Perfect match!
