Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 16: Someone Is Looking For You

His expression startled Alina, who then put on a gentle smile and said, "These are the noodles I cooked for you. It may not taste good, but you should be hungry." She handed the bowl over as she spoke.

Being confused and silent, Sheffield stared at the girl in front of him. The smell of noodles filled his nose and he swallowed by instinct. 

Seeing that he did not move, Alina handed the bowl to him. "Don't worry. I am not her and will not tell on you."

Sheffield held his breath and said coldly, "I'm not hungry." Then he closed the door. 

He was beaten by his father and stepmother because of her first personality, and he was in no mood to see that hateful face.  

'Well, he must have hated me too!' thought Alina.

She held the bowl and looked at the noodles inside. She didn't understand why Sheffield's attitude changed. She had told him she was not Alaina. Why he was still angry at her?

The noodles were going to be cold. Alina knocked on the door again.

"I've told you that I'm not hungry. Get out!" Sheffield's voice was full of anger.

Why that stupid girl brought the noodles? Now his room was full of the smell of noodles. Sheffield was even hungrier. He really didn't want to eat the noodles!

"What's wrong with him? Why is he so irritable?" Alina wondered.

She had asked him twice if he wanted to eat. She did her best.

Even if she was a supporting role, she had a temper too!

Alina went back to her room with the bowl. Looking at the yellow vegetables over the noodles, she hesitated for a moment and poured them into the toilet.

For her, noodles without coriander didn't taste good at all.

In the next room, Sheffield was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. He couldn't fall asleep. Whenever he thought that the noodles might have been eaten by Alina, he felt depressed!

The next morning, Alina got up when she heard the alarm clock.

Today was Monday, and she had to go to school. When she passed by Sheffield's room, she paused and wondered if he was still in it. 

In the dining room downstairs, there was only Wendy having breakfast.

"Good morning, Mom."   

Wendy turned her head. Her face was glowing with happiness. She was in a good mood. "Alaina, come and sit down. I made your favorite breakfast. Have a taste!"

Alina smiled, not in high spirits. She took a sip of milk and asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Your Dad has gone to the company. He said he would buy us gifts today. Guess what gifts he will buy for us?"

Last night, Eric was very gentle to her, which satisfied her a lot.

"How do I know it? Dad may buy you some jewelry," replied Alina in a careless manner.

"I've really taken a fancy to a set of very beautiful jewelry recently. It'll cost a million dollars. Do you think he will buy it for me?"

"Well... That's possible." Alina didn't want to talk about this with her. In fact, she wanted to tell her that no matter how much jewelry she bought, she couldn't keep them as long as she offended Sheffield.  

"I have mentioned it to him several times. He must have remembered it." Wendy could not hide her smile at the thought of receiving a set of gorgeous jewels.
