“Really?” Kim sneered, his gaze sharp.
“Of course. We’ve been living together for 14 years. I’m well aware of her likes.” Jaydon grinned confidently.
Hearing their conversation, the lady boss blushed, curious about which lucky girl could have the favor of both these handsome guys.
“Why not buy both and let her decide? Mouths lie, hearts don’t.” Kim took the grapes to the cashier and then bagged a bunch of bananas.
Jaydon sneered behind him, ready for the challenge. But soon, unease crept in–he actually had no idea what fruits Alita liked.
After paying, Kim left the fruit shop and headed back to the hospital.
In the elevator, Jaydon first hit the top–floor button. “It’s still early, and I think we need to talk,” he said through gritted teeth.

After a brief standoff, Jaydon released him and patted his clothes. “Relax, just kidding. As long as you are loyal to Annabel and quit bothering Alita, I won’t cause you any trouble. Okay, let’s go back.”
Then, they returned to the ward.
Hearing the door, Annabel smiled. “You’re back. What fruits did you buy?”
“We weren’t really sure what to buy. Grapes and bananas looked good, so we grabbed some,” Kim calmly answered, looking at Alita. “Alita, which do you like?”
“Either is fine. Thank you,” Alita answered politely.
“Which one do you prefer? Actually, Kim said he wanted to bet with me. He believed his choice would suit your taste better. Darling, don’t let me lose. Banana or grape, you pick one,” Jaydon said with a beaming smile.
Alita besitated. If she chose wrong, Jaydon would be furious. But she really didn’t know he bought which one.
