Blair held the kitchen knife and cut the washed ingredients. He was serious and careful.
Once he had chopped everything up, he boiled some water and put them in.
He remembered Tracey said that Mable had a sweet tooth, so he also prepared some sweet treats.
Mable hugged her pillow and nestled on the sofa to watch a movie. However, her mind was not there.
She stared blankly at Blair, who was busy in the kitchen.
If anyone had told her in the past that Blair would help her wash her clothes stained with period blood and make soup for her, she would have thought that person was dreaming.
Nonetheless, since last night, Blair had helped her with these things.
When he returned to the bedroom in the middle of the night, he realized her feet were cold. So, he sat at the end of the bed and held her feet until they had warmed up before he laid down.
Mable did not dare to imagine such a gentle and caring Blair before this.
Blair seemed to have sensed her gaze and turned around.
Caught off guard, Mable met his eyes.
She looked into his deep black eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
Subconsciously, Mable looked away as if she were caught red-handed.
Blair was done with the soup. He walked out with a bowl and said, “You’ll feel better after having this.”
“Thanks.” Mable took the bowl and held it in her hands.
The delicious soup filled her stomach and warmed her soul.
Blair sat next to her and wrapped his hand around her waist. “You’re welcome. I’ll make it for you every month.”
After pausing for a brief moment, he added, “Only for you.”
Mable’s eyes flickered. She smiled faintly and commented, “Blair, I’m not used to you being so gentle.”
Blair raised his eyebrow. “Isn’t it good? Do you want me to treat you coldly like before?”
“...No.”
Mable liked him being gentle and kind to her, but…
Her heart still felt empty.
How long would this last?
“Master Blair, Assistant Nielsen is here.” Aunt Grace, the housekeeper, walked in.
As Blair did not go to the office today, he had Amos send over some important documents.
