Trial Marriage Husband: My Bed’s Broken! - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Carlisle

She walked the streets in a daze, shuffling back and forth in the familiar city. Twelve years… Twelve years she had been living here, and for the first time, it felt strange.

Her father was not around, Miles was missing, and the people she knew always left without saying goodbye.

She did not have Adam or Adela’s contacts, so she couldn’t even go looking for her father.

She didn’t know where to go, what to do after graduation, or how to live on.

She was at a complete loss.

In the supermarket, she and another pregnant woman were wandering in front of a baby products shelf. The pregnant woman chose a few cute little clothes and small shoes before putting them into the shopping cart. Her husband quickly came over and helped her push the cart.

Tang Yu picked up the clothes, taking a closer look before putting them back.

She thought that she wouldn’t need them anyway.

She went to another section, and the couple was there again. The husband very considerately asked his wife what she liked to eat lately, what flavor she prefered, and how to cook it.

Tang Yu just wanted to grab the last box of green peppers on the top shelf, quickly pay, and leave.

My little green peppers…

Shetiptoed, trying to reach it. She was only 167cm, too short to reach it.

Little green peppers, come into my arms!

She kept making small hops, trying to reach the box , but failed.

The man next to her only had his own wife in his eyes. He showed no intention of helping her.

If she asked him for help, he would probably ask his wife if she wanted the peppers before putting it in their cart.

Tang Yu was saddened by that very thought. A child with a husband was like a treasure, but a child without a husband was like a blade of grass.

Suddenly, a slender arm reached from behind, grabbing that last box of green peppers.

She suddenly became nervous and looked at the man who snatched the box with watery eyes. The man before her was wearing a black windbreaker. His hair and eyes were both black, and his figure was tall and thin. He had a handsome face with steely eyes.

Tang Yu was a little absent-minded for a moment. He just felt so familiar somehow. He was similar to someone… Song… Huating…

Though Song Huating looked way more colder and arrogant than him.

This man’s eyes were bright and clear, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face. He said to her in fluent Chinese, “I got it for you.”

“Oh… Thank you…”

“You’re welcome. Let me help you.” The man casually took her basket of vegetables and asked her gently, “What else do you need?”

“Are you also a foreign student?”

“I’m not a student. My name is Carlisle. I’m Chinese-American.”

Tang Yu felt a warmth in her heart. He felt friendly to her.

It was not easy for them to earn a living abroad. So whenever fellow Chinese met, most of them would greet and help each other.

Carlisle took the initiative to help her carry her things. Tang Yu naturally treated him as a friend. She went to find the stuff she needed, and he followed behind her.

As they walked, they discussed which specific brands were better, whether it was nuts, or drinks, or any other goods..

The casual conversation between them made them seem like a newlywed couple in the eyes of others.

As they passed the yogurt cabinet, the salesperson enthusiastically poured them a cup of yogurt, urging Carlisle to give it to his ‘wife’.

A hint of a smile flashed across Carlisle’s eyes as he asked for another cup, “Please pour us another cup.”

“I’m sorry, there are no more cups.”

“Do you want to drink it?” Carlisle asked Tang Yu gently.

She felt that it was too sweet for her liking after a sip so she returned it to him. Carlisle took it and finished it in one gulp.

“You…”

“I don’t mind.” Carlisle smiled at her, “I don’t mind kissing a beauty indirectly.”

Tang Yu was shocked. She didn’t expect that the meticulous-looking person before her to actually be such a frivolous person.

“Beautiful lady, are you single?”Carlisle asked her.

Tang Yu extended her hand, giving him a good look at her ring finger. A sparkling wedding ring could be seen encircled around it.

“A ring doesn’t mean anything. Where is your husband? What kind of man would let his beautiful wife go to the supermarket alone to buy groceries for an entire week? He’s not by your side… Have you ever thought about…”Carlisle moved closer to her, staring into her delicate eyes.

“I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! Stay away from me!” Tang Yu looked furious.

Carlisle suddenly burst into laughter, taking a step back. “I’m just joking! I just feel it’s a bit of a pity. I’m still single, and I really want to find a girlfriend.”

Tang Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’m working alone in the UK. I’ve been very free since I completed my work. So if you need any help, feel free to call me. We shouldn’t be living too far apart, right?.”

“What district do you live in?”

“Kensington District.”

“What a coincidence. I live in Kensington too.”

“Oh! How about we go home together? I’ll send you back.” Carlisle looked at her with interest. “I live right next to you.”
