Chapter 167
Austin scooped up some food onto Suzanne’s plate. There was a flicker in his eyes when he noticed Yasmine looking unlike her usual selt.
Looking askance at Suzanne, he said in a soft voice, “Suzanne, Yasmine can be quite straightforward at times. Please don’t mind her.”
Suzanne was taken aback. She lowered her cutlery and gave Austin a quick glance. Then, she looked toward Yasmine, only to see the expression on Yasmine’s face stiffening up.
“Austin, you-”
How could he be so straightforward? Didn’t he know that she would be embarrassed?
Yasmine gave Austin a kick under the table.
That brat!
However, the next second, Aaron pressed his hand on Yasmine’s leg. He gazed at her and shook his head slightly.
Suzanne curled the comers of her lips upward slightly shaking her head shehtly, she said, “The past is in the past. I won’t take it to heart.”
Then, Suzanne looked at Yasmine and continued, “it’s true that my family background isn’t at the same level as the Hall family. Mrs. Stanton was just protecting her younger brother.Tunderstand where she was coming from.”
An even stronger sense of uneasiness came over Yasmine. She might actually feel less award it Suzanne rebuked her directly.
Yasmine pressed her lips together and said, “Thave to express my sincere gratitude to you for curing my legs‘
Since Suzanne was acting so magnanimously, Yasmine would be much less than her if she continued acting awkward, Yasmine picked up the glass of fruit juice on the table.”
Looking into her eyes, Suzanne smiled and nodded slightly. In the same way, she raised her glass.
Both Yasmine and Suzane got to their feet and clinked their classes.
Aaron, and Austin, on the other hand, did not say anything.
Right at this moment, Emma hurried to stand up on her chair “Momuny, Aund Suzanne, me too.”
At a loss for words, Yasmine pursed her lips. She tapped the tip of Emma’s nose as she remarked, “Why do you want to join in on everything?”
“I just want to,” Emma replied coyly
Her tone made it difficult for anyone to turn her down. Aaron held onto Emma’s body in case she fell off the chair,
Suze moved a glass toward Emma. She chuckled and said, “Here you go Chers.”
Emma med her glas shakily, with excitemeal written all over her face, she called out, “Vay Cheers!”
At that moment, everyone laughed out loud.
They chatted and laughed with one another while teasing Enima in between. The atmosphere was much more harmonious than it was before. In a flash, two hours passed. Aaron looked at suzanne. He seemed uneasy as he asked, “Ms. Yates, do you have some time to spare?”
It was rideed a little inappropriate to bring this up to Suzanne, but Aaron had no other choice.
Suzanne put her cutlery down and lifted her eyes to glance at Aaron. Feeling confused, she asked, “Did something happen?”
Aar on let out a gentle sigh with a concerned expression on his face, he explained, “A friend grandfather tell ill. They’ve sought the advice of many doctors, but it was of not much rise. Given your medical expertke, I was thinking of asking you to have a look at him.
Yasmine froze and instinctively looked at Suzanne as well. Yasmine didn’t say a word. Even so, she knew who the person was the moment Aaron brought it up.
They had witnessed Suzanne’s medical skills. She would be the best person to check on the patient,
Suzanne raised a brow, feeling a little curious. “What are his symptoms?”
