“OK, thank you, old Mr. White.” Lumma took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to grill the meat.
Unexpectedly, Adam did this job first. He picked up the clip and put the sliced beef pieces on the grill one by one. “You always do such jobs for me. It’s my turn to serve you.”
Lumma hurriedly said, “Mr. Hills, you can’t…”
“You are my wife. What’s the problem with it?” Adam interrupted Lumma in time. Lumma thought Adam interrupted her in time because he was worried that she might spill the beans.
Old Mr. White said with a smile, “The way you call each other is so interesting. People who don’t know you might think you are his subordinate.”
Lumma was speechless.
She was just Adam’s assistant.
Adam smiled, “She’s shy. Don’t laugh at her.”
“Good. You should always protect her.” Old Mr. White filled their glasses. “Let’s cheer first. I wish you a happy life.”
Adam raised his glass and said, “Thank you for your best wish.”
Lumma also raised her glass.
After drinking the wine, Adam cut the roasted meat into small pieces and put them on the plates of Lumma and old Mr. White.
Since he said that he would do all these jobs today, Lumma didn’t refuse. She wrapped the roast meat with lettuce and began to eat it.
Adam could tell that Lumma was in a low mood, but he didn’t ask more. He took her glass and drank it up. “Don’t drink anymore.”
Lumma was speechless.
It was just a show. Adam didn’t have to use the glass she had used.
Old Mr. White said with a smile, “I didn’t expect to see you protect a woman.”
Adam replied calmly, “She’s my wife, so it’s my duty to protect her. I will never let her down.”
Old Mr. White said, “I’m glad that you know this very well. Lumma married you at such a young age and built a new family with you, so you should be her strongest support, always standing behind her and protecting her.”
