Chapter 736: 736. Hogging food, get diarrhea_1

Harry Hall carefully helped her wash her eyes and face, her face buried in the palm of his hand, feeling the warmth coming from his palm. Helen Melendy’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

At this moment, she even felt that being looked after so tenderly by Harry Hall was more uncomfortable than having her eyes full of salty sand.

It made her involuntarily think of those years they spent together, when she was taken care of meticulously by him.

She had finally managed to harden her heart to separate from him, not wanting to fall back into the trap of his tenderness, or else her previous efforts would have been in vain.

As soon as the foreign sensation in her eyes was gone, Helen Melendy immediately moved a few steps away from Harry Hall, took the towel handed over by Elly Campbell, and dried her face.

When she looked back at Harry Hall, she had reverted to her previous detached demeanor and said indifferently,

"Thank you."

Seeing her like this, Harry Hall looked at her with a complex gaze and said in a hoarse voice, "No need."

With those words, his gaze also moved away from Helen Melendy’s face.

Elly Campbell couldn’t help feeling anxious for the both of them.

Just at that moment, the island’s server in charge of the food delivered some seafood and barbecue ingredients over, as per Adam Jones’s earlier instructions.

Since the island was mainly for relaxation, there weren’t many real entertainment activities. The aim was peace and quiet.

Therefore, the self-sufficient barbecue had its own charm.

Adam Jones and Harry Hall took the initiative to take on the task of grilling the food.

Both skilled in cooking, they were naturally familiar with barbecuing, and soon, delectable smells began to waft through the air.

The Old Lady, being of advanced age, wasn’t very keen on these foods, but even she found the aroma somewhat tempting.

Elly Campbell usually wasn’t particularly interested in barbecue, but this time, perhaps because the smell was truly enticing, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

Her eyes were glued to the skewered squid in the hands of the island’s owner, feeling her mouth watering.

Helen Melendy had always enjoyed the strong flavors of barbecue, and upon smelling that familiar aroma, her eyes widened.

Thus, when she saw Adam Jones holding a plate of beautifully grilled squid that just looking at its color made one’s mouth water, her eyes sparkled with desire, and as Adam Jones came closer, she reached out to take one.

But Adam Jones subtly shifted his hand to the side and passed by her without a word... went by... gone.

Helen Melendy: "..."

"Try it and see if it’s good?"

Adam Jones sat down pleasingly beside his beloved wife, picked up a skewer of squid, and held it out in front of Elly Campbell.

Elly Campbell, who was already drooling with anticipation, could not wait to eat, and without saying a word, she took it from Adam Jones and stuffed it into her mouth.

Even quite "shamelessly" ignoring the desirous gaze of her own best friend.

Helen Melendy had never wanted to strangle her plastic sister, Elly, so much as she did at this moment; it wasn’t right to hog it all to herself.

Eat alone, get an upset stomach!

Helen Melendy inwardly cursed her best friend but found a plate of already grilled squid skewers in front of her.

"Here, eat."

Harry Hall’s voice, carrying a hint of gentleness, sounded over the top of her head. She looked up at him, meeting his deep black eyes.

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could, she heard Harry Hall speak before she had the chance.
