Chapter 78
There were six huge durians in the box with incisions on them. As soon as the box was opened, the foul fragrance of the durians wafted out of it.
“Damn, who would give you a box of durians out of the blue?”
Lyra immediately picked up a durian and held it to her nose to take a whiff. Then, she said in approval, This durian has quite the smell!*
Right after that, Lyra looked at the delivery man and asked, “Who’s it from?”
The delivery man replied, “A man asked me to deliver this.”
“A man?”
Lyra turned to look at Maeve, asking. “What’s this? I didn’t think someone else would be trying to court
you.”
Maeve shook her head.
She had no idea who the durians could be from.
In her previous life, she didn’t know many men. Ever since she got married to Sergio, she had even less contact with members of the opposite sex
Moreover, who would send her so many durians for no reason?
“Damn, what is this man thinking, sending durians to a girl? He must have terrible EQ!”
Lyra said, “My brother is much better. He definitely wouldn’t do something stupid like this!”
Before Maeve could say anything, her phone rang, indicating that it was a call from Zion.
“Hello?”
“Did you receive the stuff?”
Zion’s voice was composed and serious on the other end of the line.
Maeve glanced at Lyra beside her and then at the durian in Lyra’s hands. She asked, “Could it be that…. you were the one who sent me these durians?”
“Do you like it?”
Maeve parted her lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Did she like it?
Durians were quite delicious,
But why would he send her durians out of the blue?
“Lyra likes it quite a lot.”
Chapter 78
“What about you?”
–
…I guess I like it too.”
Maeve glanced at Lyra. Lyra immediately realized that the box of durians on the floor was sent to Maeve by her unfortunate younger brother.
Lyra snatched the phone from Maeve’s hand. Then, she roared angrily at Zion on the other end of the line, “What’s wrong with you, Zee? You’d better not tell anyone that you’re my younger brother from now on!”
With that, Lyra immediately ended the call,
Maeve was stunned. She still hadn’t figured out why Lyra was mad when Lyra said, “There must be
something wrong with that guy. Why on earth would he think of giving a girl durians?”
Maeve chuckled dryly, saying, “It’s great timing. I happen to be in the mood for durians anyway.”
“That’s another thing altogether!”
“Lyra, you said yesterday that you wanted to eat durians, right? This is wonderful timing.”
