Her unintentional words made Evelyn feel a little embarrassed, but she was not angry. She explained lightly, "No, it's my friend."
"Ah, so that's how it is..." Lola touched the hair by her ear awkwardly. "Because I've never seen Evelyn's husband before. I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter." Evelyn smiled comfortingly. "Pack up and get ready to get off work."
"Well, okay!"
After closing the shop, Evelyn felt tired. Sadie had already prepared dinner at home, so Bert drove her and Lucas back to the Grandview Residence. Before getting out of the car, Evelyn invited him to her house.
Bert passed by her and glanced at the gate of the villa. After a while, he looked away and shook his head. "No, I have something else to do later."
"Let's go in and have dinner before leaving. You haven't eaten yet." Evelyn insisted on him coming home because she knew that he hadn't eaten yet and wouldn't let him go without eating.
Bert had no choice but to park the car in the yard and follow her into the house.
Sadie had heard something about Bert from Evelyn before, so she knew that this person would be of great help to Evelyn. She greeted her warmly and served the food.
"Miss Shelton, you didn't say that there were still people at home. I made four dishes and one soup. I don't know if it's enough..." Sadie was a little worried.
Evelyn handed him the knife and fork. "It's okay, Sadie. We're friends. You're welcome."
"That's good, that's good!"
There were the Stir Fried Lotus Root Slices, Grilled Barbecue Ribs, Steamed Spotted Garoupa, and the Matsutake and Chicken Soup, as well as Fried Shrimp with Cashews that Lucas loved. All the plates were placed on the table and looked very warm. The light of the dining room shone on the dishes, arousing people's appetite.
Evelyn rolled up her sleeves and took the white porcelain bowl in front of Bert. She filled it with hot chicken soup for him and said, "This is the soup that Sadie is best at. Have a taste."
