Chapter 1022
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
Lina looked around. There were many similar food stalls around, and the traffic in the area was pretty good.
âYou two havenât had your dinner yet. Iâll make you some fried vermicelli. You can try out my cooking,â said Kyla Corbyn.
âSure!â Lina said with a smile. Speaking of which, she had not tried her cooking yet!
âWhat about you? I donât think youâve had dinner either,â said Grace as she looked at Kyla Corbyn with concern.
âIâll just eat something later. I own a food stall. Would I starve myself?â Kyla Corbyn said with a smile and quickly cooked two plates of fried vermicelli for Grace and Lina.
They ate at a small square table. Lina praised Kyla Corbynâs cooking while she ate. âItâs much better than my momâs cooking.â
âDoes your mom still cook at home?â asked Grace.
âThatâs right. My momâs cooking hasnât improved in decades, but she loves to occupy the kitchen. Then my dad would always butter up my mom by telling her how good her cooking is, so she doesnât even know the true quality of her cooking.â
Sometimes, her father would give the excuse of letting her mom rest when he could not stand her cooking and cook. himself.
âThat means your dad loves your mom a lot!â said Grace. She envied such relationships. Although it was ordinary and there were no exciting plot twists, there was warmth in every detail of their life.
She hoped she would have a relationship like that.
However, it had become wishful thinking.
âThatâs true. Theyâre very much in love.â Then, Lina shrugged. and asked, âBy the way, how have you been with Jason? Does he still insist on playing the brother and sister game with you?â
Grace had a flashback of the night he talked about getting back together. He said he would love her and wanted her to love him again.
After she turned him down, he did not come to her again.
However, after she turned him down, the look of loneliness in his eyes had burned into her mind like an imprint. The image would flash through her mind when she closed her eyes in the dead of night.
âWhatâs the matter? Did Jason do something again?â Lina immediately panicked because of her best friendâs silence.
âNo, he justâ¦â Before Grace could answer, Linaâs phone suddenly rang. Lina looked at the caller ID and realized it was from Hadwin Stephenson, so she answered it. âWhere are you? Are you still at Kyla Corbynâs house? Do you want me to come and get you?â asked Hadwin Stephenson, knowing that she had gone to Kyla Corbynâs residence with Grace today.
âIâm not there anymore. Kyla sets up a food stall at Huaihai Road at night. Grace and I followed her here. I drove today, so you donât need to come and get me. Iâll go home after sending Grace home. Iâll contact you once Iâm home,â said Lina.
âOkay,â answered Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina was about to end the call when suddenly, there was a bang and someone kicked over a chair at the table next to them.
Lina looked up and saw three men sitting at the table next to them. They each wore menacing expressions. One of them spat out the words, âWhat kind of crap are you charging me for? Damn it.
There are flies in your food. Are you trying to kill us?â
The other two men were also blabbering something about Kyla Corbyn being a shady stall owner, compensation, and so 1.
These three men were only here to create trouble!
