It was almost evening when they arrived at the manor. As soon as they entered the manor, both of them smelled the fragrance of the dishes. Lily couldn't wait to go to the dining room after getting off the car.
Following her, Eric shook his head helplessly. But his eyes were full of love.
"Mother, uncle Kerr." Lily felt happy when the problem was solved.
"You're back?" At this time, Tina came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. She smiled at the two and said, "Go and wash your hands. These are your favorite dishes."
"Thank you, aunt Tina." To be honest, he was a little hungry. After all, he hadn't eaten anything since he was hungry last night. And today, his stomach had been crying out for food.
"Don't be so formal with me. You have been having a tough time these days. I bet you haven't had a good meal. Let's have it tonight."
While saying, she put the dishes on the table. Tina turned to Eric and said, "I know how much you have suffered for Lily. I want to help you, but I can only watch you in anxiety."
"I'll be fine as long as girl is safe." Eric smiled and then shifted his attention to the dishes. "Tonight's dishes taste so good that I want to eat more."
"Okay." Tina looked at him with a smile, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.
"Don't just stand here. Go wash your hands." Wearing an apron, Kerr walked out with the stone pot. He laughed and urged, "I have cooked chicken soup, and it's good for your health."
"Thank you, uncle Kerr." Lily said with a sweet smile.
"You're welcome. Come and have dinner after you finish washing your hands." Kerr glanced at them with smile.
"Okay."
Lily held Eric's hand and led him to the washroom.
Tina turned around and gave Kerr a smile, "Thank you, Kerr."
"Don't be so formal with me." Kerr pretended to be angry and walked up to her, holding her hand and said, "I should be the one who should say 'thank you' and 'thank you for giving me the chance."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Maybe I shouldn't have been so self willed and made such a choice."
"Everyone will be young. Don't mention that. The most important thing is to live happily now." Kerr hugged her gently and patted her on the back to comfort her. Then he released her. "Well, don't be so moved. I should do these. Otherwise, I'm sorry for Lily's trust in me."
Tina smiled softly. After living for so many years, she had tried to keep the so-called home for a man who didn't love her in the previous half of her life, but she was driven out in the end.
After all, she was a lucky girl who met Kerr again. Loving her was more than loving himself.
When they were having dinner, Tina kept picking up food for Eric and Lily. Seeing her like this, Kerr picked up food for her in silence, fearing that she would only care about others and ignore herself.
The dinner was very warm. The only shortage was that Andrew hadn't come back. Since he attended the banquet held by Angus two days ago, he had put all his energy into the cooperation project.
After the dinner, Kerr volunteered to wash the dishes and asked Tina to stay in the living room to chat with Lily and Eric.
"Did your parents give you a hard time after we left?" Tina asked with concern.
"No, they didn't." Eric shook his head and replied, "They have already agreed to our relationship, but it still needs some time for us to let Grandpa agree."
"I can see that they are reasonable people." Tina said, "As for your grandfather, I don't think he is really against you being together. Perhaps he still can't get over the barrier in his heart. When he calms down in a few days, you can say something soft to him. Today, you said that in front of so many people, which made him lose his face."
"Yes." Eric answered in a low voice. But he suddenly remembered what Kerr had said in front of him, and he frowned unconsciously.
"Well, it's not easy for you two." Tina sighed, "After this is over, you should focus on your study. Only when you are independent can you ignore others."
Eric smiled helplessly. Before he met Lily, he really didn't think so much. Only after meeting her did he realize the importance of his own ability.
"Mom, don't worry about us. You'd better live a good life with Uncle Kerr," Lily reached out her right hand and held Tina's arm. "You and uncle are not young now. You should solve your marriage. I think he can't."
Hearing this, Tina blushed and said, "Mind your own business."
Lily smiled and said, "Uncle Kerr said that he went there as my father today in front of the Gu family. If you don't settle it, he will lose face."
