Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 41: I Like Him

Seeing Alina come downstairs alone, Wendy looked up and down with an inquiring expression.

Being stared at by Wendy, Alina felt uneasy. So she asked with a smile, "Mom, would you like some?"

"No, thanks. I've already had my supper."

Well, then, Alina had to eat alone. After a few bites, she couldn't eat any more.

It was just because Wendy was staring at her. She really had no appetite.

Alina stopped and said helplessly, "Mom, you have been staring at me. Is there anything wrong?"

Wendy waved her hand with a smile, "No, nothing. Have you dinner."

Alina rolled her eyes and wondered. 'Why is she staring at me like that?'

"Mom..." Alina stopped eating and said, "If you keep staring at me, I can't eat anything. If you want to say something, say it now. If you don't, don't stare at me like that. We can talk after I finish eating."

"Okay, okay, I won't look at you, okay?" Then Wendy stood up and walked away.

Finally, Alina could enjoy the meal. When she was going to eat, she saw Sheffield going downstairs.

She said with a smile, "Sheffield, you're just in time. The dishes have just been served. How about eating together?"

Sheffield looked away and walked over slowly.

When the servant saw him come down, she turned to fetch the tableware for him.

Upon hearing Alina's words, Wendy, who was going to the living room, quickly turned around and looked at her daughter.

She frowned when she saw her daughter smiling and attentive to her stepson.

After staring at her for a while, Wendy left with a serious look.

"This omelette is delicious. Have a taste!" Alina picked up an omelette and put it in Sheffield's bowl.

Glancing at the omelette with disgust, Sheffield stretched out his hand to get the spareribs.

Alina got another sparerib for him with a smile, "If you like, eat more."

Sheffield paused when he was biting the sparerib. He put aside the sparerib and omelette Alina served him, and then he reached for the meatballs.

Alas... Was he disapproving of her getting dishes for him?

When she served him the omelette, he didn't eat and she thought he didn't like it. Seeing him get the sparerib, she thought he liked it and therefore she served the sparerib for him. But she found that it wasn't that he didn't like the dishes but he disliked her!

'You don't want to eat? That's all right!' If so, she could eat more!

Holding back her smile, Alina took back the omelette and sparerib from Sheffield's bowl. She was careful not to touch the rice in his bowl.

She thought that if she touched the rice in his bowl, he might throw it away.

This surprised Sheffield. He stared at the omelette and sparerib in silence. Paying no attention to him, Alina picked up the omelette and put it into her mouth. Then she picked up the sparerib, ate it with a few bits and threw the bones on the table.

'What are you looking at? If you don't like it, I'll eat it myself.'

Looking at the bones on the table, Sheffield bit his lips and looked away.

They had dinner silently. Alina finished first. As soon as she put down her bowl, she got up and left.

On her way upstairs, she was stopped by Wendy, "Alaina, wait a moment. I have something to ask you."
