Chapter 228 Only One Person (1/2)
After hanging up the phone, Jonas put on his coat and went out directly. Before leaving, he told the servant, ”I'm going to buy something. Linda is resting inside. Be careful.”
There were many shops near the community where Melinda lived. Jonas walked around and finally chose a congee shop. In his impression, the lightest food was this kind of stuff.
”Madam, do you have any congee that is suitable for pregnant women? She has a very serious pregnancy reaction recently.”
Seeing the name on it, Jonas was a little confused. He directly asked the owner of the shop. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a pink floral apron.
It was in the rush hour and she was very busy. But when she heard Jonas's words, she couldn't help looking up.
This young man was energetic and handsome. She had never thought that he was a husband who loved his wife so much.
”Women all have serious pregnancy reaction when they just get pregnant. Don't worry too much. The congee is a little oily. If you don't mind, I can give you some dishes made by myself. She can just eat some rice congee with the dishes.”
The owner was a woman of discernment. A lot of rich people living in the neighborhood, so she thought that this man must be fastidious about food.
Looking at the extraordinary clothes, she could not tell the brand of the clothes Jonas was wearing, but she could tell the clothes were made of good material.
As soon as Jonas heard her words, he thought it was appropriate for Melinda to eat it since the owner seemed to have a similar experience.
”Please help me pack one for me.”
He was handsome and polite, which made the lady happy. She quickly packed a large bowl of white congee and a small lunch box with several dishes.
They were all ordinary dishes that people would cook at home. The red color would make people feel hungry. But Jonas looked at it and felt a little entangled. ”Is it OK for pregnant women to eat spicy food?”
”It doesn't matter if your wife likes spicy food,” the owner said without stopping. Hearing her words, Jonas felt relieved. He took out a one hundred dollar bill from his wallet, and walked out of the shop with all the packaged things in his hands.
”Hey, young man, I haven't got the change for you yet.”
The owner just took the change and found Jonas was gone. She was about to chase the man out, but the woman next to her couldn't help saying, ”It seems that the man doesn't care about the money. You'd better give up chasing him.”
”That's not good. There are dozens of dollars,” the owner said. Since she could no longer see Jonas's figure by the door, she had to walk back helplessly.
”I hope his wife will like it and he will buy it for her next time.”
