Sanford chuckled, clearly amused by the banter.
“How much of a disaster am I, then?”
Sheldon quipped, “You could be the star of a circus!”
Sanford was momentarily taken aback.
Overhearing their banter, Barlow subtly nced over at Karina.
Noticing Karina’s gaze fixed on the happy family across from them, he leaned closer and murmured, “You don’t have to envy them.
I can treat you just like that.
”
Karina was absorbed in the heartwarming scene when his warm breath tickled her ear, making her hairs stand on end.
Startled, she flinched slightly.
Before she could respond, Barlow yfully offered her a bite of food.
“Have some more pork, your favorite,” he said with a gentle smile, showing his affection.
Remembering their yful interactions in the past, Karina hesitated briefly, then swallowed and held out a piece of food to him.
“Here, try this,” she said, holding up a slice of pig intestine.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
Initially hesitant, he opened his mouth.
“Is it tasty?” Karina asked, smiling at him.
He swallowed hard, suppressing a queasy feeling, and said with affection, “Even if it was poison, you’d still make it taste like heaven.
”
“Do you want more?” Karina smiled, offering another slice of pork.
Chuckling softly, he stared at her beautiful lips.
“Karina, let’s share this meal.
”
“How would we do that?”
“I’ll feed you right here, in front of everyone.
”
In a yful gesture, Barlow, holding a piece of meat in his mouth, leaned closer to feed Karina.
In response to his attempt, Karina swiftly moved aside and delivered a sharp pinch to his arm.
“How dare you!” she eximed.
“Well, now that you’ve dared me, I must have a try,” Barlow replied, a grin splitting his face.
As he tried to feed her with his mouth, Karina turned away as sheshed out her fingers.
Landing on a familiar target, which was his arm, she gave him another sharp pinch.
