Chapter 387 - Bernard (2/2)

As he was enjoying his meal, Lotus asked with suspicion, ”Why did you decide to volunteer here?”

Without thinking, Sasquatch replied, ”Because you're here.”

Lotus looked at him in surprise. She knew it! This guy was a stalker!

Realizing what he said, Sasquatch quickly waved his hands and explained, ”I meant, I'm here because of the same reason why you're here! Sorry, I was speaking with my mouth full and it didn't come out clearly.”

”Same reason why I'm here?” Lotus asked questioningly.

”Yes, aren't we both here because we want to contribute to society?” Sasquatch asked.

Lotus laughed, looked down, and shook her head. ”You're wrong... I'm not here to contribute to society,” she whispered.

Sasquatch furrowed his brows, ”Then, what are you here for?”

Lotus looked into Sasquatch's eyes like she had a story to tell, ”I'm here to protect them from society...”

After saying this, she fell quiet and focused on eating her spaghetti. Meanwhile, Sasquatch wondered what she meant by these words.

Soon, both of them finished their dinner with satisfaction. Sasquatch glanced at the time and realized it was 8:30pm. He had been following this woman for almost 8 hours! It was time he completed the mission he was there for. He glanced down at the rubber gloves that were still on her hands and asked, ”Why are you still wearing the gloves. Aren't they uncomfortable?”

Perhaps, he could get her to voluntarily remove them without using force...

Lotus glanced down and smiled, ”I'm used to wearing them. Besides, I still need to wash the dishes after this. It's annoying to pull the gloves on and off.”

”Here, hand me the gloves, I can wash the dishes for you,” Sasquatch offered as he reached for her hands.

But, just as he was about to touch them, a voice said from the doorway, ”The kids are finished eating. Let's wash the dishes and get them to bed.” It was the other volunteer. He looked at Sasquatch with suspicion and asked, ”Who are you?”

Lotus stood up and started walking to the door. ”He's a new volunteer,” she explained.

She then turned back and looked at Sasquatch with a smile. It was the first time that day that she directed a smile at him and it surprised him a little. ”By the way, what's your name?” she asked.

A little fl.u.s.tered, Sasquatch felt himself blush as he subconsciously replied, ”Bernard.”
