Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 974

Sitting on the bench, Carney grabbed a piece of chicken wing and stripped its oily part away for Lauren before passing it to her. "Having a little bit of it shouldn't be a big deal," he said, "I've also bought the fruits myself and had them sliced!" "Thanks! How did you know that I'm here, Carney?" It really was an unexpected treat. He went the extra mile getting her food!

"Well, I was taking Antonio to his classmate's birthday party and it just so happened that I saw you here! Since it'll still be a while before I go back to pick him up, I might as well drop by on my way to kill time!"

Handing her a carton of milk, Carney reached over and wiped the crumbs away from the corner of her lips.

"Haha, you're such a messy eater! Just like a kid!" teased Carney.

Lauren raised her hands to wipe her mouth while paying attention to the surroundings of the intersection and she did not notice anything unordinary. She quirked up the corners of her mouth with amusement, blissfully enjoying the food. It was differently heart-warming. "Strangely enough, I wasn't aware of this at first, but I felt my hunger once I started eating!"

As she was taking the fruit box from Carney, Lauren shoved the leftover meat over to him, saying, "This is too much. I'm almost full. You may finish it off!"

Lauren was then trying to find a piece of serviette to wipe her oil-stained hands, but before she could do that, Carney started covering covering her grubby little hands with a piece of wet tissue.

"Let me help you out! Don't ruin it further! The cake is specially made for you. It has only egg, milk, sugar, and no other additives!"

"Is this from some DIY bakery?"

She was aware that there were those interesting handmade cake shops that provided professional instructors who would prepare the ingredients, guide and assist customers, and let them bake and decorate what they want to make, all of which according to the customers' own preferences. The service was specially catered for amateur bakers or anyone who simply wanted a self-baked cake as a love-token. However, that kind of works was also extremely time-consuming, taking at least an hour to complete the whole process. Regardless of how it turned out to be, she did not expect that he would be so nice to be doing all of those personally.

Lauren was deeply touched by Carney's effort despite the cake's appearance that was not that great. It looked ordinary and was slightly burnt on the sides.
