“my parents happened to be visiting here, my mother is native to the field and as far as I know my doctor Ray really likes the cuisine of the field, if the doctor deigns dinner together with the menu we have prepared” he continued at length
Ray just looked confused at Adelia.
“thank you for the invitation doctor Adel, but.” Ray hesitated to continue his words.
Adelia appears to bow her head because she is sure to be rejected by Ray.
“But, do you mind if I am a bit late because there is still work I have to finish?” connect Ray when seeing the sad look of Adelia and not to the heart if it rejects her
“Really?” Adelia could not believe what she was hearing
“Doctor Ray is really coming?" adelia's eyes twinkled
