Chapter 35 How Would He Know That She Was a Picky Eater?
To Karl's surprise, Phillip didn't leave until they had dinner.
Phillip led the children to the dining table and sit there with them. Karl clenched his fists and his eyes were gloomy.
Annoyed by Phillip's behavior, Ann looked at him with a cold face.
"Mr. Phillip, I think you should leave now!"
Phillip acted as if he didn't hear it. All of a sudden, he looked up at Karl.
He said meaningfully, "I see you talking to a woman in pink when I came here."
Karl's gloomy eyes instantly panicked. He started to observe Ann's reaction as he explained it to Phillip.
"Mr. Phillip, you might see it wrong. I went down to throw trash. How could I be with a woman?"
"OK. Alright." Phillip nodded.
Karl looked straight at Phillip with irritation buried in his heart, but he then avoided his eyes because he was afraid that Phillip had seen something.
Then, he forced a smile and sat down beside him. "Ann, it's getting late. It's okay if Mr. Phillip wants to leave after dinner."
Hearing this, Ann felt puzzled about his sudden change in attitude. Was that because of Phillip's words just now?
Did he really...?
Thinking of this, Ann immediately suppressed the turmoil in her mind.
No. Karl had taken the best care of her and Nikki all these years. He wouldn't do such a thing.
When they were having dinner, she found that Phillip had only taken a sip of the soup at the beginning and never ate the food again.
She cursed Phillip inwardly because she mistook his behavior as an accusation of her cooking skills.
He was a possessive and rude man, who begged to stay there for dinner but he didn't eat anything!
Jackson had a happy meal. Seeing Phillip frowning, he pursed his lips and said,
"Miss Ann is an excellent cooker, but Daddy can't eat MSG."
Carson, who was carefully getting a meatball for Nikki, hurriedly nodded when he heard this.
"That's why no one likes to eat with Daddy. Miss Ann, just leave him alone!"
Allergic to MSG?
Hearing Jackson's words, she looked at Phillip with a mixture of emotions in her eyes.
She still remembered that the little brother who had been protecting and accompanying was also allergic to MSG.
Back in the hospital, Phillip did the same as her little brother did. Moreover, his voice sounds extremely familiar to her. Ann became absent-minded when these thoughts came to her. However, Phillip and that little boy didn't look anything alike.
There wouldn't be such a big change in a man, even if he grew up.
Phillip noticed Ann's mixed expression. His deep eyes trembled, and his lips curved.
"I'm just allergic to MSG. It's way better than some food picker."
Ann's face froze, and she squeezed the chopsticks slightly.
The little brother had also said the same thing before.
Coincidence... How did he know that she was picky about food?
After dinner, Phillip finally left with his two children.
Karl heaved a sigh of relief. As she was about to tidy up the dining table, she noticed the mixed expression of Karl.
"Ann, what did he mean by that?"
Ann asked confusingly, "What did he say?"
"Are you the picky eater he mentioned?"
She frowned and said, "Karl, what do you want to say?"
"Have you dined with him? If not, how would he know that your preference about food?"
Ann pursed her lips and looked at Karl. She sighed slightly, "I didn't lie. This is the first time I eat with him."
Although she could understand that Karl was just jealous, she still felt a little sad.
Phillip had been pestering her time and again, but she kept resisting.
Karl pursed his lips when he saw the depression on her face. Although he knew that all of this was not her fault, he couldn't suppress the rapidly growing jealousy in his heart. Finally, he reached out and hugged Ann tightly, "I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. I'm just so jealous..."
Karl felt a desperate need to get the marriage license with Ann.
At least, their relationship would be legally binding. Even Phillip could not take her away!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
