Eline looked at the mountain of supplements in front of her, feeling a wave of sighs in her heart.
“There is… too much, I can’t finish it all.”
As soon as the words fell, the man brought another pot of soup from the kitchen.
Looking at the table full of food, Eline subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
The man standing across from her chuckled lightly when he heard her words.
“Whatever amount is considered too much, I’ll eat the rest.”
It was just a normal sentence, but it sounded a bit awkward in Eline’s
ears.
Why did Ricardo Williams love eating her leftovers so much?
For so many days, he ran over to her side without fail to cook for her, three meals a day, without missing a single
one
Especially when he found out that she had just had a miscarriage.
The next day, he arrived at her house carrying a thick book.
Ricardo didn’t let her touch raw water, didn’t let her wash her hair, and didn’t let her stay up late to use her phone.
Although she knew he meant well, and it was possible that he was acting

on her parents‘ behalf, Eline couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.
After all, there had never been a man who took care of her like this
before.

The dishes were finally ready, Ricardo washed his hands and walked to the dining table.
He took off his apron and accidentally revealed the strong muscles around
his waist.
Eline quickly buried her head down.
Suddenly, she inexplicably felt guilty as if she had done something
wrong.
Ricardo naturally noticed her changes.
The smile at the corner of the mouth grew stronger and stronger.
“Want to touch it?”
Eline’s face immediately turned red, and she glanced at him hesitantly.
“I don’t know what you were talking about!”
Ricardo saw her face turning red as if it was about to bleed, then he suppressed his smile and kept putting food into her bowl..
Eline finished her meal and when she looked back at Ricardo, she
realized that he had been taking care of her the whole time.
Half of the rice in the bowl was not even eaten.
Suddenly, there was a sense of guilt in my heart.
She lowered her eyes, as if she had thought of something unpleasant.

“Ricardo, childhood promises don’t have to be kept, you don’t have to treat me so well just because of a joke from our parents.”
Her words fell lightly into Ricardo’s ears.
But Eline did not feel as relieved and relaxed as she had imagined.
Ricardo’s face darkened instead.
But his movements were still meticulous.
Ricardo picked out the fish bones one by one and put them into Eline’s bowl.
“I didn’t think it was a joke, I just felt like the wedding date couldn’t come fast enough. Hurry up and eat, the food will be cold soon.”
Eline looked at him in astonishment, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
A few days later, Eline’s best friend Aracely Williams came to visit her at
home.
Upon hearing her words, she looked at Eline with a defeated expression on her face.
“Fool, didn’t you just realize that my brother likes you?”
Aracely’s words hit her like a clap of thunder, exploding loudly in her
ears.
“Do you… like me?”
Eline’s eyes were full of astonishment.
“Yeah, you really didn’t notice at all, Aracely rubbed her forehead.”

Later, he let out a soft sigh in front of her.
“You went with me to a place.”
Eline was dragged by her to Ricardo’s house.
At that time, Ricardo was still in a meeting at the company.
Unaware, his secret base had been invaded by someone.
Looking at the room full of people like a painting, Eline was stunned.
Both feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, unable to move.
“Are these… all painted by me? Her eyes were filled with disbelief.”

From her childhood as a little girl to her adolescence as a young woman, piece by piece, picture by picture.
She was everywhere.
Her hand lightly fell on the last painting in the corner.
The painting was covered by a piece of white cloth.
She looked at Aracely subconsciously, “What is this?”
Aracely was full of helplessness, “You take a look.”
Eline no longer hesitated, she lifted the canvas and what met her eyes was herself in a pure white wedding dress.
This wedding dress was worn by her on the day she married Vincent.
Originally, when she got married that year, Ricardo also arrived at the
scene.
But why didn’t she see him?

Aracely was somewhat indignant and spoke bitterly.

“He was really foolish. He was afraid that if you knew his thoughts, you would avoid him, and he would end up with no friends. So he stubbornly planned to hide his feelings from you forever. When he heard you were getting married, he personally designed a wedding dress and worked day and night to make it, just so he could see you wear it.”
The secret that Ricardo had kept hidden in his heart for a long time was finally revealed by Aracely.
Eline stood still, speechless except for the shock.
After leaving Vincent, she returned to her parents.
Not long after, her parents started talking to her about childhood crushes.
She loved Vincent for so long, loved until her whole heart became desolate and barren.
She didn’t want to get involved in love anymore.
But she didn’t expect it.
When she loved but could not have, there was someone like her, always watching the back of the beloved.
Her heart suddenly felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone’s hand.
When he came out again, Ricardo’s phone rang right on time.
“What do you want to eat tonight?”
“I have a meeting tonight, but I have two hours to go back and cook for you, then I will go back to the office!”
