Chapter 838 Candlelight Dinner
- Some called their shop "Safe and Sound" while some called their shop "Success". Most of them were auspicious names. Each store exhibited similar products. However, some stores might have stocked a larger amount of certain medicinal herbs. Each store had its own treasure. However, these treasures would not be sold easily. It only served as a gimmick to attract doctors and to demonstrate the strength of the store. Most regular visitors knew about the situation of these stores clearly. Obviously, Gloria was one of them. She had nearly all she wanted to buy in her head. Gloria took Jordy to go into one shop after another as well as visiting the stalls. ( Jordy looked at Gloria selecting the herbs. She seemed to have super power for that. She could always choose the best one from a pile of herbs that looked almost identical. Jordy knew about that from the store owners. They would look at Gloria and marvel at her capability, saying that she was really an expert. Gloria wasn't modest and accepted the compliments calmly. Some owners even recognized Gloria, and knew that she was a quiet woman. So they might not talk too much with Gloria during the process. Occasionally, some owners would charge less. Just like that, Gloria led Jordy in the drug market and almost walked to the end of it. It was how they ended their day of purchasing. When returning to the hotel, Jordy was carrying many shopping bags. Gloria stretched out her hand to take what was in the hands of Jordy, but was rejected by him. Gloria frowned and said, "Don't forget the injuries now. Give some of them to me." "It's not a problem." "You..." "I can do this. Let's go." This was the first time that Mr. Collins had been taught what to do. If Harold saw this, he must understand that Mr. Collins must be willing to do. If anyone who was not familiar with him saw this, he would definitely be shocked by this scene. The hotel was located within the drug market and was also built by the association in the drug market. There was only one hotel in the whole drug market. Many people would choose this hotel. Since the supply could not meet the demands, one could imagine what consequence Gloria and Jordy might end up with. Many people didn't manage to book a room, and had to leave. In order not to miss the morning market the next morning, people could only choose to get up early the next day or choose another hotel to stay.
- Or they might have to sleep in their car parked outside the drug market. In either case, they had to get up early the next day. However, Gloria obviously was very clear about this situation. There had always been one suite with two bedrooms reserved in the hotel. "You are really generous about this," said Jordy in the elevator. Gloria looked at him with a puzzled look. Then Jordy continued, "The price is extremely expensive in the drug market. But you have a room reserved here any time. Why? It must be that you have paid the price of renting the room for a year or even longer." Gloria didn't expect that he would know. But it sounded reasonable though. "Not as generous as you. I just want to have a place to live when we purchase the herbs." Gloria retorted scornfully. Soon the elevator reached the 38th floor. She took the lead out of the elevator and swiped her card before going into the room. The room was not a luxurious one. It was an ordinary room with two bedrooms, two living rooms and a small kitchen. But it could not be compared to a presidential suite. Jordy was very smart. He didn't go to the larger bedroom. He had a question in his heart but he didn't say it out loud. When it was dinnertime in the evening, both of them were too busy to arrange it. So the hotel brought them a meal for two people, which was a candlelight dinner that came along with the suite. Chapter 1549 Speak Hesitantly It instigated Jordy and enraged him.. Jordy began to be picky about dinner. "The fish is too salty. How can I eat it?" "The salmon is not fresh. The fish must be dead for a long time." "The steak is fried for too long." Gloria did not speak. She just listened to his gripe silently, wondering what was wrong with him. "This meal is said to be served to couples. But I don't think it is delicious at all. Are they really preparing this for couples?" Jordy put down his knife and fork and put his hands around his chest, looking extremely dissatisfied. So that is what makes him complain. Gloria thought perhaps he didn't want to live in the suite for couple. Suddenly she felt a little awkward. "If you don't want to stay in this suite, you can reject and leave. Anyway, this room is not specifically reserved for you." Gloria said in an unnatural tone. Jordy frowned. Although he was very angry, he tried hard to suppress his anger. "You're right, there are so many admirers of yours." Before Gloria could speak, Jordy got up and wiped his hands with the handkerchief. Then he threw it on the table with anger, turned away and left. Gloria was speechless. It is nothing to do with him whether I have admirers or not. What a nut! Within a few minutes, Jordy came back into the room. Gloria pretended as if she hadn't seen him. However, Jordy strode forward and then stood in front of Gloria, "What's it?" Gloria frowned and stared at him. "Well. I have something to tell you." Jordy said quietly. The look in his eyes made Gloria worried.
- She said, "Just say it out then. Why are you staring at me like this?" Jordy didn't answer her immediately. Seeing him keeping silent and serious, Gloria also started to feel nervous. She said, "Did you hurt your wound or what?" She suddenly remembered that Jordy had helped her take the shopping bags that day when he followed her to the drug market. Although they were all medicinal herbs, the bags. were still heavy. Thinking of how he had protected her from the shot, Gloria restrained her temper and anger. After a while, Jordy slowly said, "Follow me. I'll show you some place." He looked calm and serious. But Gloria checked the time and thought of the morning market the next day and Jordy's wounds. She decided not to go with him. "Jordy, it's not early now. Don't forget we have to catch up with the morning market tomorrow. Besides, I think you should not be too tired tonight." Gloria thought that nothing was more important than the health of Karen and Jordy at that moment. However, Jordy didn't care about that. He still looked quite indifferent. "Do I really look weak now?" His frowned a little. Looking at his face, Gloria thought of how he had carried the bags. She realized that it was true that he didn't have anything strange. Gloria was a bit speechless. She looked at him with an inquisitive look and said, "Where must I go now?" She had something to tell him. But she was caught in her throat. She wanted to tell Jordy but she didn't. You are not weak, but you have a wound and I want to check it for you. She wanted to say so but she hesitated. Because she thought that she and Joady had had a divorce. If she said anything like that to him, it would make it feel like she was still pursuing him and paying close attention to him. No way. I must not let him feel that way. However, Jordy could see her desire to speak at that moment. He was more straightforward and immediately pointed it out. "If there is anything you want to say, just tell me." Gloria was silent. Having heard him say that, she must make up anything to tell him or otherwise Jordy wouldn't believe her.
