Seeing my guilty eyes and evasive smile, he immediately sprang up from the couch. "What on earth is this?"
Sheepishly, I touched the tip of my nose and pulled out two packets of instant coffee, tossing them in front of him. "The coffee machine is too complicated, so I didn't use it... It's all coffee anyway, there's really no difference, right..."
Albert laughed incredulously, and for the first time, I saw him at a loss for words, finally letting out a deep, helpless sigh.
Trying to make amends, I pressed a glass of water into his hand. "If you don't want coffee, have some water. Honestly, there's really no difference with coffee; you can't sleep after drinking it anyway..."
My half-hearted excuse didn't win his approval.
Since birth, everything he used had been handpicked.
Everythin
