Seeing that Kiera and Julian get along like buddies, Mr. Caron won’t think too much about it.
It’s just that Mrs. Caron liked to nag Mr. Caron and say that he had taught Kiera badly. The girl, 24, had never been in love. The matchmaker put a guy in touch with her, but they didn’t get along. She said Kiera treats men like friends all the time, which made her mad.
What kind of buddies—couldn’t they be lovers?
Mr. Caron would make fun of Mrs. Caron every time she nagged him. Why don’t they take care of their bodies together and have another daughter? After that, Mrs. Caron would teach Kiera how to be a lady, which would make her laugh so hard that she would get scratched if he caught her.
They could be grandparents, so what else could they do to live?
If they wanted to have a baby, they would have had one when they were young.
“After dinner, it was late at night, and I made Julian drink tea, which affected my sleep. You, too, can’t sleep at night, so don’t nag me.”
Mrs. Caron came out of the kitchen with dishes and said a few words to her husband.
Mr. Caron chuckled. “Julian has come all the way and is a guest. Come in and invite him to have a cup of tea. That’s how we treat guests. Julian, let’s go have a meal. Kiera, go to the wine cabinet and bring a bottle of wine.”
“Dad and Julian have a good talk. They need to have two drinks tonight.” Kiera looked at his mother and asked, “Mom, is it okay? They’ll have two drinks too?”
Mrs. Caron glared at her and said, “You can only have two sips to satisfy your cravings. You can’t drink too much. With your drinking capacity and taste, if you take two more sips, you will be embarrassed and sent to grandma’s house.”
It was better to be able to take two sips to satisfy their cravings than to be unable to take one sip.
