Chapter 92 Milk

　　early morning.

　　The sun is shining.

　　Carl leaned against the tree trunk and enjoyed it silently.

　　after,

　　Carl knocked on the door of the small building with a box of milk.

　　The door was not closed, even though it was only a little after seven o'clock and the sun had just risen at this time of autumn.

　　However, the Hershel family has become accustomed to Carl coming at this time, so the door will be opened a little earlier.

　　It was Maggie who did the job, and for that, Carl was grateful.

　　"Karl, the door is not closed, come in."

　　Maggie's voice came from inside the house, and before she saw Carl, she knew it was Carl.

　　That's the habit.

　　Carl entered the room and the Hershel family was sitting around the dining table eating breakfast.

　　The only difference was that Otis and Jimmy were missing, and there was one more Glenn. Otis and Jimmy had already left with Sean and the others.

　　Glenn's injury this time can be said to be a blessing in disguise. Seeing Carl Glenn, he also smiled.

　　Maggie said, "Karl, I told you, if it's you, you don't need to knock."

　　"That's what I should do." Carl smiled. "Good morning, everyone."

　　Beth was there too, so Carl put the milk in front of Beth and asked, "Where's the milk outside?"

　　Carl just noticed that there was no more carton of milk by the steps.

　　"Throw it away!" Beth said angrily.

　　But Carl felt that Beth didn't seem to be that angry today, she just didn't know how to ease it, so she continued to pretend to be angry.

　　Well, Karl could tell from the way she didn't know where to put her fingers when she spoke, and from the way she looked straight at him and then immediately looked away.

　　Maybe today is a good opportunity. As long as I talk to Beth for a few more words, I may be able to resolve Beth's knot and ease the relationship with Beth.

　　But today is not such a suitable opportunity.

　　Because Carl had something to do today, Carl looked at Maggie. Maggie's answer was more reliable than Beth's.

　　"Maggie, you know what?"

　　Maggie shook her head. "I had kept them there before. There was no other way. Beth didn't allow you to leave your things in the room, and you refused to take them away. Are they all gone? Except for Zack..."

　　Karl nodded. "Then enjoy your meal. I'll be leaving first."

　　"Hey, Carl, don't you have anything to say to me?" Beth rarely called Carl.

　　"Yes, but not today," Carl said, turning around.

　　"How long do you plan to take? I'm still angry!"

　　"Then let's talk about it after you calm down." Carl smiled.

　　"Asshole!" Beth grabbed the milk that Carl had just put on the table and threw it directly at Carl.

　　"Beth!" Hershel finally spoke.

　　"Ah?" Beth was also a little flustered. She threw it away impulsively. Now she regrets it...

　　In time,

　　Because Carl caught the milk, took off the straw, plugged it in, and handed it to Beth.

　　This time Beth caught it with her hands and said weakly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

　　"It's okay." Carl didn't think there was anything to apologize for.

　　"Also, thank you for the milk, and the nuts you gave me last time, thank you." Beth couldn't pretend anymore.

　　Carl nodded, but felt that he seemed to have misjudged. In fact, Beth had not been angry with him for that long. Maybe he should have talked to Beth earlier.

　　Maybe Beth is waiting too.

　　But now is really not the right time. The more so, the more Carl feels that the people who took those boxes of milk deserve to die.

　　"It's okay, as long as you like it. I have to go now. I'm so sorry to disturb you. By the way, you can keep the door closed during the day. If it's Zack and the others knocking on the door, don't open it. Don't be too curious if you hear any noise."

　　After Karl finished speaking, he left the room without waiting for their response and closed the door.

　　Carl couldn't wait any longer.

　　Beth was stunned for a while as she looked at Carl's departing back.

　　Hershel frowned slightly, Maggie seemed to want to say something, and Patricia looked at the closed door and then at Beth, feeling something was wrong.

　　Glenn was a little confused, and seemed to sense something, with a strange expression on his face.

　　Finally, Hershel spoke, "Beth."

　　"Ah?" Beth came back to her senses. "What's wrong, father?"

　　Hershel's brows relaxed a little, but his expression became more serious, "Don't you think there's something wrong with your relationship with Karl?"

　　"Something's wrong? Is it?" Beth looked confused.

　　Maggie finally couldn't help but say, "Oh my God, Beth, did you really not notice or are you playing dumb?"

　　"Sister, what are you talking about?" Beth subconsciously took a sip of milk and shrank her shoulders.

　　Maggie laughed and said, "Beth, you know what? When I was in college, those boys pursued me like this, bringing me breakfast and so on."

　　"Ah? But...but what Carl delivered was milk." Beth said blankly.

　　"Is that the point? Beth, I feel like Carl likes you!" Maggie couldn't help but say it directly.

　　Indeed, Carl's performance was very obvious, if we ignore Carl's age.

　　Some of the things Carl did made it easy for people to ignore his age. In this case, how could Maggie and the others, who watched Carl deliver milk to Beth every day, not notice it?

　　"Karl did say that he liked me, but it wasn't love, not what you meant. He said he liked me and wanted to have a sister like me, that's the kind of liking I had, and I called him brother.

　　So, it's normal for a younger brother to bring milk to his older sister, right? "

　　Beth blinked and looked at Maggie uncertainly.

　　Maggie smiled, "Beth, have you ever brought me milk?"

　　"No, why are you so concerned about the milk? Isn't it okay for me to just ask him not to send it?"

　　Beth sipped the milk helplessly, then reacted and quickly put the milk on the table.

　　"Is what you said useful? Our Mr. Carl is very persistent." Maggie teased.

　　"I think you have misunderstood. Carl is so young, how is it possible? What are you really thinking about?" Beth picked up the milk and took a sip quietly.

　　"No." Hershel finally spoke again, "Beth, try to ignore Carl's age and think about how he behaves towards you. Isn't it obvious?"

　　"But how can age be ignored? Really." Carl pouted helplessly.

　　Hershel said, "Most people wouldn't, but Carl is different. Beth, you should think about it. Don't treat him as a child. Either keep your distance from him, or..."

　　"By the way, what about Jimmy?" Maggie interjected.

　　"Jimmy?" Beth blinked, took a sip of milk and thought, well, thought seriously, and then said,

　　"I think I should break up with him, not because of Carl. I really only regard Carl as a younger brother. I just think Jimmy is not right for me, and he...how should I put it, I don't seem to have any feelings for him."

　　"Yes, yes, it's not because of Carl." Maggie couldn't help laughing.

　　"In fact, the age difference between you and Karl is not that big. It's just that boys develop two years later than girls."

　　It was actually Herschel who said this, and this was something Herschel said only after careful consideration.
