Minh blushed but still tried to keep a calm expression.
“My love is very high quality.”
Hạnh raised an eyebrow.
“How high quality?”
Minh thought for a long moment.
“It doesn’t need electricity, doesn’t need the internet, and never runs out of battery.”
Hạnh laughed.
“Does it come with a warranty?”
Minh nodded.
“Yes.
A lifetime warranty.”
Hạnh asked, “Can I return it?”
Minh replied, “No.
Poor people’s products don’t accept returns.”
The whole restaurant burst into laughter.
Hạnh covered her mouth with her hand, but the corners of her lips were still curled into a smile.
She looked at Minh for a little longer.
For the first time, she realized that behind all that humor was a man who was always trying to make other people happy so that no one would notice how tired he really was. You are reading on novelping . com, the official source.
Hạnh asked softly, “Do you really like me?”
Minh stopped smiling.
“Yes…
I really do.”
Hạnh sat down across from him.
“You know I’m six years older than you, right?”
Minh nodded.
“I know.”
“You know I have a daughter?”
“I know.”
“You know I have a bad temper?”
Minh was silent for a few seconds before answering, “That one…
I’m currently experiencing.”
Hạnh picked up the spoon, intending to smack him on the head.
Minh immediately covered his head.
“See?
Love is already working.” Get faster updates on g.com.
Hạnh laughed, but afterward, her expression softened.
She had once thought she would never love anyone again.
One failed marriage, years of running the restaurant, piles of debt, and an empty house had made her heart cautious.
Minh had nothing but his calloused hands.
And yet, that clumsy confession somehow made her heart soften.
Minh stood up and was about to clear the dishes.
Hạnh grabbed his hand.
“Sit down.”
Minh immediately sat up straight.
Hạnh placed a glass of water in front of him and said, “Love can wait.
If you want to pay me back, work for me.”
Minh smiled.
“I’ll do anything.”
Hạnh pointed at the pile of tables and chairs outside.
“Carry all of those inside.”
Minh looked at the stack of chairs that was almost as tall as he was.
His smile instantly froze.
