Chapter 82 You’re Not Completely Ungrateful

“Where are we going?”

Nancy gestured with her hand, “Drive out of the school gate, then turn left. At the second traffic light intersection, turn right. Go straight for 830 meters then turn left again…”

Tom cleared his throat lightly, “Mrs. Firth, please just tell me the address.”

Nancy pouted, “I’m just afraid you won’t be able to find it. We’re going to the Walmart nearby.”

A supermarket?

Charlie tilted his head to look at her, “You want me to go to the supermarket with you?”

“Yes.”

Nancy nodded proudly, I’m going to cook for you tonight. I need to buy a lot of stuff, and I can’t carry it all by myself.”

Upon hearing that she was going to cook, Charlie was immediately unhappy.

He didn’t forget that the last time Nancy cooked for him and his grandfather, she had to leave. within a few days.

Suddenly, Nancy felt the air around them suddenly chill. She quickly explained with a smile, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing. I just heard this morning that you punished Samuel and Lily last night. It was impressing, so I decided to thank you.”

Charlie gave her a deep gaze then turned his head away, “You’re not completely ungrateful.”

Seeing that his mood had improved, Nancy suddenly thought Charlie had a good temper.

That morning, she had made him angry, but he didn’t ignore her. Instead, he promptly replied to her message, agreed to accompany her to the supermarket, and even drove into the campus to pick her up. Such a man with a good temperament was rare these days.

However, it was a pity that he didn’t belong to her.

Nancy shook her head, got rid of all the strange thoughts in her mind, and happily went to the supermarket with Charlie.

Once they arrived at the supermarket, Charlie didn’t let Tom follow. He took the shopping cart from Nancy’s hand and together they strolled around the supermarket like an ordinary young couple.

‘This one, this one, and this one also tastes good.

Nancy went straight to the vegetable section, picked out a lot of vegetables and selected a piece of beef, then headed towards the seafood section,

Charlie’s eyes suddenly narrowed on high alert. He looked around and saw the two men who had been following them since they entered the supermarket, watching them intently.

“Char…Darling?”

Nancy noticed that he hadn’t followed her, so she called out to him, “What are you doing standing there? Come over.”

Charlie turned his gaze back, pushed the cart and walked over.

Nancy put all the selected seafood into the shopping cart, “I bought everything you like to eat. I’ll make a big meal for you tonight.”

Charlie chuckled, looking towards the snack section, “Aren’t we going to get some snacks?”

Nancy glanced in that direction and shook her head, “No.”

She had grown up into a frugal habit with her father earning the only income and having to support her and her brother. Hence, she had given up all desire for snacks.

As Nancy turned to leave, Charlie reached out to catch her, “You don’t want to eat them, but I do.”

“You?”

Nancy curled her lips, “You’re a grown man and you still eat snacks!?*

Charlie held her with one hand and pushed the cart with the other, “Who says men can’t eat snacks?”

At the snack section, Charlie picked up whatever he saw. In no time, he filled the cart. He even was somewhat regretful, “I should have brought Tom along.”

Nancy laughed at him, “Ha–ha, this’s the first time I’ve seen a man who likes to buy snacks so much.”

Charlie smiled at her, then they both went to the self–checkout counter.

Nancy originally wanted to pay, but Charlie was well–prepared for that. He quickly swiped his card, picked up the bags and walked away.

Just a few steps out, Charlie subtly glanced back and gently asked Nancy, “Do you need to go to the washroom?”

“Washroom?”

Nancy rubbed her stomach, thinking that she could go or not. But considering the half–hour drive home, she nodded, “Hmm, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Charlie, carrying the bags, changed his direction and headed towards the washroom.

The washroom was somewhat secluded with fewer people around. Upon arriving, Nancy walked straight in. At this moment, the bags in Charlie’s hand suddenly dropped to the ground.

He turned around, and coldly stared at the two men who had been following them.
