She bought several pregnancy test kits and wanted to put them into her pocket. But when she was in the middle doing it, she felt that she would be regarded as a thief. Therefore, Vera could only hold it in her hands and tiptoe towards the counter to pay the bill.
She looked around as she walked, so she didn't notice someone was also approaching the cashier. Just like that, she bumped into that person.
Clatter...
The kits in Vera's hands fell to the ground.
She was dumbstruck. Because she was too nervous, she dropped everything in her hands as soon as she bumped into someone.
However, the impact wasn't strong, so she was alright.
When she saw the items on the ground, she immediately got down to pick them up. Just then, a familiar voice sounded above her head. "Are you alright?" This voice...
The hand that reached out to pick up the kits stopped.
Because it sounded like... someone she knew.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVera slowly raised her head. Sure enough, it was Ernest. It was just that he was helping her pick up the kits, so he didn't look at her. Pick up the kits...
Vera's face becpale when she saw what he was picking up. Before she knew it, she had thrown away the kits in her hands and ran away.
Ernest had cto supplements, but who would've thought a rash girl would bump into him and drop everything. First, the sound of items falling on the ground attracted his attention.
Then, he saw the rash girl squatting down to pick them up; they seemed to be important to her. But since the items had dropped because of him, Ernest helped her pick them up and asked if she was alright in the meantime.
It was only after picking up the items on the ground that he realized what they were. The expression on Ernest's face paused for a moment, and then it beca little stiff.
No wonder this young lady had been so rash. It turned out that what she'd taken was...
However, before he could react, the rash girl suddenly threw the kits in her hands away and ran out.
"Hey..." Ernest had wanted to stop her, but she had already run away. Just like that, she was gone without a trace.
Was he that scary? Ernest frowned slightly and bent down to pick up all the things again. Suddenly, he thought of something and narrowed his eyes as he looked at where the girl had left.
Why did he feel that... that figure was a little familiar? He seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
When he looked at the pregnancy test kits in his hand and thought of the incident just now, a smile appeared on his lips.
He seemed to have discovered a secret.
"Sir, these things..." The cashier asked awkwardly. Because where he was standing was very close to the cashier, so she had seen what had happened just now. She watched as the girl was scared away by this tall and handsman, and then he stood there smiling with a pile of pregnancy test kits. It was creepy no matter how she looked at it.
Ernest cback to his senses when he heard the voice. He put all the pregnancy test kits in his hands on the counter. The cashier thought he had wanted to give them back to her, so she reached out to put them away when she heard Ernest's sudden voice.
"Take smore and pack them up for me." The cashier was taken aback.
Had she misheard? Why did the man in front of her say he wanted to buy pregnancy test kits? What? "Um... I think I've heard wrongly. Sir, you said..." Ernest emphasized again, "Pack them up." "But these things..." "That lady is my friend. I'm buying them for her." So that was it. The cashier let out a sigh of relief and then packed the things up.
A few minutes later, Ernest walked out of the drug store with a bag and a car car in his hand. He got into the and glanced at the buildings nearby as he drove.
Wasn't this where the pasta restaurant was located? It seemed that he could pay a visit.
After Vera ran away, she rushed back to the restaurant. When she cback, Mabie happened to be coming out with food in her hands. She was surprised to see Vera return.
"Vivy? Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to the hospital? Why are you back so soon..." "Mom, I'm going upstairs!" With these words, Vera ran upstairs directly. Before Mabie could register, she was already gone. "This girl is really..." However, seeing her full of energy and running so fast, she thought Vera was probably fine now. Thus, Mabie didn't ask anything else.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Vera ran upstairs, she locked herself in the room. She could finally sit down and take a breath. Her heart was pounding; she didn't think she would meet Ernest just by randomly going to the drug store to buy sstuff.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if it was someone else. But that was Ernest Lowell! Ernest was Quill's friend, and they were close! She didn't know if he had recognized her or would he say anything to Quill? Vera was going crazy! She was too rash. The more nervous she was, the more mistakes she made.
Vera wailed, then laid on the table and looked forward hopelessly. What should she do? Did ? Did he recognize her or not? But how could it be so coincidental? She'd gone to the drug store, and Ernest was there as well, then the two met. What was more, she didn't get to buy what she wanted in the end. Honestly...
Downstairs, Ernest had already arrived. He stopped the car and walked into the restaurant with Vera's things in his hand. Mabie was excited to see him.
"Mr. Lowell? I didn't expect to see you here today." Mabie said.
Ernest was embarrassed by the way Mabie addressed him. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Mrs. Zais, you can just callErnest."
Ernest and Quill were like brothers.
Besides, if Quill and Vera got married in the future, then he would be considered Vera's peer. Although he was much older than Vera. "Ernest?" Mabie rolled her eyes. "How can I.
You're..." "Just callErnest, Mrs. Zais. You're my elder. It's hard forto accept you callingMr. Lowell." "Well, all right then. You're here to have pasta today, aren't you? Vera ran upstairs in a hurry just now. I'll call her down for you." After that, Mabie raised her voice and shouted upstairs.
"Vera, cdown and work. Mr. Lowell is here!" Vera, who had been playing dead as she laid on the table, sat upright as soon as she heard her mother. It could be said that she was shocked.
Ernest was here??? Why did he chere? Could it be that he had recognized her, so he chere on purpose???
Vera panicked. She stood up but didn't know what to do. But But soon she remembered Ernest didn't see her face when she ran out. There was no way he would've recognized her. X Looking for a Date? Create your own story! CLICK HERE!
