Seeing William Clark take the rice out of the electric cooker and put it into the wok to roast, Evelyn Blake was very puzzled, thinking to herself, is he acting strange again? But she didn’t dare to ask, afraid that even a single question might trigger William Clark’s illness.
William Clark focused intently as he roasted all the rice until it became hard and crispy like rice crust, then set it aside to cool before carefully packing it into a large plastic bag. Throughout the process, he was extremely cautious, as if afraid to lose even a single grain of rice.
“What are you doing?” Evelyn Blake finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Hehe, this is a trick I learned from a book. It’s really tasty, you should try it if you don’t believe me.” As William Clark spoke, he handed a piece to Evelyn Blake.
Evelyn Blake quickly pushed it away, thinking this is just dried roasted rice, and since she had just eaten her fill, she had no desire to try something that looked so unappetizing.
Seeing that Evelyn Blake didn’t want it, William Clark didn’t insist and instead carefully packed all the rice cakes into the plastic bag.
Suddenly, Evelyn Blake realized that she and William Clark were both busy in the kitchen, almost like a newlywed couple working together. The thought made her heart skip a beat, and a bittersweet feeling lingered on her lips.
“Have you packed everything?” William Clark picked up the plastic bag and looked at Evelyn Blake as he asked.
“All done,” Evelyn Blake replied instinctively.
“Then bring your car over, I’ll help you move your things.” With that, William Clark went upstairs to pack his own belongings.
Evelyn Blake was stunned. How did he know my car was fixed? I never let him see it. Shaking her head, she still went to the underground garage and drove her car out.
When Evelyn Blake drove her car to the villa entrance, William Clark had already moved all her bags and computer to the door.
Watching William Clark deftly load all her things into the car, Evelyn Blake was dumbfounded. Was this really the same fool who always bullied her, William Clark?
“All right, you can go now. Goodbye. I’ll come to your company to find you next week.” William Clark closed the car door and smiled at Evelyn Blake.
“Ah, what about you?” Evelyn Blake finally snapped out of it.
William Clark patted the single shoulder bag on his shoulder. “Hehe, all my stuff is in this bag. Much simpler than yours. I’ll take the bus back later. Goodbye.”
“Why don’t I give you a ride home…” Evelyn Blake didn’t even know why she suddenly said that.
William Clark hesitated for a moment, then said, “Sure, you can give me a ride.” With that, he immediately got into Evelyn Blake’s Focus.
The Lin family’s villa was very large, the biggest one in the Lakeside wealthy district. Evelyn Blake quickly drove to the Lakeside area, and William Clark got out of the car far from the villa, then said to Evelyn Blake, “Thank you for the ride. Goodbye, and take care on your way.”
Seeing that William Clark had no intention of going inside, Evelyn Blake had no choice but to say goodbye and drive away. Only after Evelyn Blake’s car was completely out of sight did William Clark turn back along the way he came, not even glancing at Lakeside Villa.
Evelyn Blake parked her car in a distant corner, only to see that William Clark hadn’t entered Lakeside Villa at all, but was walking back the way he came. She was startled and wanted to go ask William Clark what was going on, but William Clark had already walked into a bustling street and melted into the crowd, disappearing like a drop of water falling into the heart of a lake.

Watching William Clark’s figure disappear into the crowd, Evelyn Blake suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. No matter what, she had enjoyed his care for a week. Even though it was just him cooking for her, it was something she had always longed for but never had before. Sigh, if he doesn’t want to go home, so be it. At least he still has a thousand yuan on him, so he won’t have to worry about food for a while. Anyway, they’d be divorced next week. Whether he was normal or not, what happened after that would be up to him.
Thinking this, Evelyn Blake took out her phone and called Anna, “Anna, I’ve moved out. I want to stay at your place for a few days.”
“Sure, Evelyn sis, I’ve been bored living alone and have been looking forward to you coming. Hurry up! Do you want me to pick you up?” Anna’s excited voice came from the other end.
“No need, I’ll be there soon.” As soon as Evelyn Blake hung up, her phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Olivia, what’s up now? Why are you calling me?” Evelyn really liked her younger sister, who was still in college, but didn’t approve of her always being so impulsive. No matter how many times she said it, she couldn’t change her.
“Can’t I call you for no reason? Sis, I went to find you yesterday but couldn’t. I wanted to borrow a few thousand yuan, but you were at work. I saw a thousand yuan on your computer desk and took it first. I’ll need to borrow more from you later.” Olivia’s clear voice came from the other end.
“Well, if you used it, you used it. I’m at Anna’s place, come over… What? You took that thousand yuan? You little brat, who told you to take it…” Evelyn Blake put down the phone, stunned. That thousand yuan wasn’t taken by him, it was Olivia who took it. Then what will he eat from now on? He doesn’t have a single cent on him. This, this…
