Norman Sutton carried a tray with six cups of ginger tea, walked back to the grass, and placed the tray on the set dining table, seeing a group of won playing by the stream.
Phoebe King, being pregnant, was naturally more careful with her body. Audrey Sutton and Flora Lane also stayed out of the water because their husbands were watching closely, so they didn’t dare go in.
Vanessa, being a bit timid, just crouched by the bank, using her hands to scoop the water.
Barry Barrett and Lana Holloway were the most enthusiastic, standing in the water with their pants rolled up, stirring around aimlessly.
Norman Sutton secretly looked down on these won in their twenties, thinking they were doing the sa things he did as a child.
Glancing at the ginger tea on the table, Norman Sutton took a deep breath and shouted to the won, "Who wants so hot ginger tea!"
Norman’s shout not only caught the attention of Audrey and her group, but also attracted the gaze of surrounding tourists.
Apart from Audrey, who knew the situation, others gave Norman strange looks, as if thinking there might be sothing wrong with him.
Phoebe King imdiately made a sarcastic comnt, "What’s this guy up to now?"
Audrey Sutton giggled and spoke to Barry Barrett and Lana Holloway, who were still in the stream, "It’s almost lunchti. You two should stop playing. You’re soaked. Go back to the car for a shower so you don’t catch a cold."
Barry Barrett had a small bamboo basket in hand, but it only contained so weeds.
"We’ll co back in the afternoon. I’m determined to catch a fish!"
Lana Holloway looked full of enthusiasm, "We’ll change locations this afternoon. Let’s check over there."
Audrey Sutton reached out to help them ashore and relayed what Norman had said, "There’s ginger tea over there, have a bowl to ward off the chill."
Lana and Barry nodded, but they were more focused on finding a place to fish after lunch than on the ginger tea.
Seeing them coming over, Norman Sutton felt awkward standing there, so he sat on a nearby chair, pretending to play gas on his phone.
He heard Lana and Barry’s voices approaching and listened carefully to their conversation about their newly gained fishing techniques...
They were just like two kids aged five or six fishing for the first ti in a river.
Lana and Barry didn’t head toward the table but started to move straight to the RV to take a shower while chatting.
Norman kept his eyes on his phone but glanced sideways at Lana. Seeing they were about to pass by, he let out a deliberate cough.
Barry turned to look at Norman and joked, "Why are you still sitting here playing with your hands on such a nice day?"
Norman looked up at Lana, didn’t answer Barry’s question, just pointed at the tray of ginger tea with his chin, and continued sliding on his phone, "Didn’t one of you say you wanted this? It’s still hot."
Barry seed to suddenly understand sothing, smiled softly, and pulled Lana over, saying, "Must be Sutton who got this made. Lana, here, this bowl is for you."
Lana took the bowl Barry offered, and they both finished the ginger tea Grace had made. Barry grimaced and stuck out her tongue after drinking, "This tea is spicy! Not very tasty."
Lana put down the bowl in her hand, "Let’s go, it’s almost ti for lunch."
The two walked hand in hand towards the road where the RV was parked. After seeing them walk away, Norman finally put down his phone, got up, and looked at the bowl Lana had just placed down.
Seeing that Lana had finished the ginger tea, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Even though Lana didn’t know who made the tea, Norman felt relieved after seeing her drink it.
Lunch was served in a self-service style; everyone could eat whenever they felt hungry by getting food from the dining car.
After their shower, Barry and Lana went straight to the dining car. Most of the others seed to have already finished eating, except for Seraphina Vaughn who was still at a window-side table on the phone.
The two picked out the food they wanted, carried their trays to the table where Seraphina was, and after Seraphina hung up, Barry asked, "Why are you here alone? Where’s Sutton? Where’s Flora?"
Seraphina put away her phone and pouted, "They’re both moms now, taking the kids for a nap."
Barry: "What do you plan to do this afternoon? Co fishing with us?"
Seraphina looked at her perfectly manicured nails, shook her head in distaste, "Just got these done, not going. It’s all muddy."
While stuffing food into her mouth, Barry asked, "Then what are you gonna do alone this afternoon?"
Seraphina said, "I saw a group of cute guys playing badminton over there earlier. I might go have a look later."
Lana: "I think one of them is from our school’s badminton club in our grade."
Barry: "Really? Are they handso?"
Seraphina teased Barry with a laugh, "Isn’t your great star Sue enough for you to drool over?"
ntioning Simon Sue made Barry’s expression turn a bit awkward, and she glanced at Seraphina, "Brother Seraphina, don’t spread rumors. All that ’my this,’ ’your that,’ it’s just nonsense made up by online fans. Simon and I are just good friends, like and Audrey. I just like handso guys! I love all handso guys!"
Seraphina watched the diamonds on her nails glitter in the sunlight streaming through the window and sarcastically remarked, "Oh dear! Rumors don’t spread without reason. If there wasn’t sothing, why would people say it?"
Barry: "I can’t be bothered with you."
Lana just chuckled quietly. At this mont, the door opened again and soone ca in.
Seeing it was Julian Bishop, they all nodded and smiled awkwardly, as their relationship with him wasn’t very familiar.
Julian wasn’t the type to make conversation easily. He nodded back and got himself a steak, then sat alone at a small table diagonally across from them.
The carriage that had seed spacious now felt a bit cramped because the conversation was audible throughout.
Their chat wasn’t as relaxed as before, and Seraphina, seeing the cute guys playing badminton again outside, got up and left the dining car.
Almost as soon as she left, Norman Sutton board the car.
Seeing Lana eating inside, he wasn’t surprised, because he had noticed Lana there, prompting him to co in.
But though he ca for her, he didn’t even say hello after entering. He picked his food at the serving area, bypassed Lana’s table, and chose a seat closer to the back of the car.
From this angle, Lana was facing away from him, but he could clearly see her every move.
