Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 94

The soft breeze suffused the air with the fragrance of flowers.

When their eyes met, it felt like the time had stopped.

Jennifer returned to her senses and withdrew her gaze with embarrassment, "Let's... Let's go to the neighboring town, alright? We can take the train."

"Why?" He wondered, "Why the train?"

"Just do as I said!" She got a little bossy. After kite-flying, she took Ivan to the train station.

Jennifer quickly purchased two tickets online and went to get the paper tickets, "Actually you don't need to collect the paper tickets to take the intercity train. The digital ones will do. But I want to leave you a souvenir, so take it!"

This was the first time Ivan came to the train station. After all, he himself owned a dozen private jets.

The passengers around were carrying luggage. Someone standing beside them were holding two children. It was just crowded and noisy.

However, Ivan did not complain and took the train ticket from her hand.

Jennifer was happy, "Let's go!"

After getting on the train, Ivan sat by the window and Jennifer sat next to him, "It's a quick trip."

The train slowly moved forward, and he turned to look out the window.

Ivan's first train experience, looking at the slowly receding landscape, he felt a peace in his heart that he had never had before.

The neighboring town was a place that had preserved its history and culture without being overdeveloped. Food and homestay were its special features.

It was a slow-paced town, no heavy traffic, no office workers in a hurry like in those big cities.

Just off the train, Ivan felt a strong sense of nostalgia, a nice place to bathe his soul and cleanse his mind.

"You've been here before?" His voice was husky.

Jennifer gave him a smile, "Let's go!"

Then, she hailed a cab and gave an address to the driver.

Ten minutes later, the cab wound into an alley.

Ivan paid the fee and got off with her.

"Are you hungry?" Jennifer asked.

He shook his head, not saying a word.

What a taciturn man!

"Let's go to see Eve first, then we'll eat some local specialties. It's my treat today!" With that, she walked forward, forgetting that he couldn't eat.

Ivan followed her. It was a particularly old alley, with mossy walls on both sides. It was quite narrow that your clothes could get rubbed against the moss if you weren't careful.

Stopping at a dilapidated door, she knocked on it.

"Jennifer!" a little girl in worn-out clothes jumped into her arms with joy, "You're really here!"

Ivan noticed that Jennifer did not dislike it at all, but hugged the little girl tightly.

She was all smiles, "If I said I'd come, I'll come! When have I ever lied to you?"

"I sent Grandma to the hospital." The little girl let go of her, took two steps back and bowed deeply, "Thank you Jennifer, for your money!"

"Have you been back to school?"

"I have! Come in and sit down!" The little girl was particularly happy and darted her eyes on the man behind her, "Hello."

"Hello." Ivan was mild.

Jennifer turned to look at him, the tall, handsome man like a god standing in the alley, his vibe did not match the place at all.

"Are you going in?" She didn't force him.

Ivan followed her into the dingy little house.

Jennifer gave the child some money and an encouraging hug, and she promised to come visit her again in the future.

Half an hour later, in a small restaurant.

Jennifer negotiated with the owner and paid him before going to cook the meal herself.

"Don't stand here. It's all smoke and oil!" Jennifer almost couldn't open her eyes, holding a spatula in her hand, coughing non-stop. The ventilation pipe needed some maintenance!

Ivan's heart suddenly ached for no reasons, and he went in to drag her out!

"Hey! What are you doing? It'll get overcooked!" The spatula was still in her hand.

Looking at her ash-stained face, Ivan said, "I had an injection of the new medication this morning, and Rowan said it could last all day. I'm not hungry."

"It's almost done!" She broke away his grasp and slipped into the kitchen again.

Ivan goes into the kitchen again.

"Told you to listen to me today!" Jennifer turned to look at him while stir-frying the ingredients in the pot, "Get out!"

He stopped, looked at her, and turned to leave.

At this point, he was already covered in the smell of grease. It did make people want to vomit!

Not long after, Jennifer came out with two home-cooked dishes.

The shopkeeper served them two bowls of rice.

"Have a try?" Jennifer pulled him to sit down and handed him the fork and spoon, "What's the point of me eating alone?"

Ivan said, "Wash your face first. I'll wait for you."

She narrowed her eyes, and then got up to look in the mirror! Her face was dirty!
