But after Jervis explained, his expression froze. He raised his eyebrow and didn't want to say anything.
He was embarrassed!
Didn't he give himself away?
Colton burst into laughter. "Oh, Mia. Hey, Jervis, you are finally in love. It is a piece of good news." Colton was sincerely happy for Jervis, but he still punched Jervis in the chest. "You are so heartless that you want to hide it from me."
"Don't talk nonsense. She's dumb and a little girl under 18 years old. I just want to sponsor her to go to school." Jervis snatched the chilblain ointment from Colton's hand, put it in his pocket, and left.
Trevor, on the side, didn't speak.
Colton tilted his head to look at Colbert and asked, "Colbert, what's going on? Is the girl dumb and not yet eighteen? Is... Is he joking?"
Colbert ignored him and concentrated on chopping firewood.
Getting no replies, Colton was bored and shook his head. "Forget it. I'll go to Eudora to inquire about it."
Before noon, Colbert chopped all the firewood and put the pieces neatly one by one, as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
As everything was packed, he took the ax and prepared to enter the house.
Eudora happened to come out. Seeing that Colbert had done it, she couldn't help but feel warm. She trotted over. "Thank you. I'll get the ax."
During her speaking, she snatched the ax from Colbert's hand.
At this moment, Eudora noticed three blisters had been rubbed into the palm of Colbert's right hand.
She put down the ax and grabbed Colbert's hand. Looking at the three bulging and almost translucent blisters, she felt distressed. "You have blisters. Why didn't you rest for a while?"
Eudora grabbed his left hand and found three other blisters.
Colbert had never done any manual labor, but he chopped a pile of firewood all morning. Eudora felt very guilty.
"You wait for me here for a while."
Eudora trotted into the house with the ax and trotted out with Colbert's coat after a while. She walked around behind him. "Come on. Put on your coat."
She took the initiative to dress Colbert.
He was immersed in it and enjoyed her considerate help.
