Filip looked at the light smile on her lips, and his thin lips pursed, "The things in the past, I was the one who overdid it."
Starry blew on the soup with a slight pause, and she looked up at him for a moment, "Are you - are you apologizing to me?"
It really wasn't her intention to ask something so blunt and make the scene awkward.
It was the words that came out of Filip's mouth that really surprised Starry.
If Filip hadn't been standing right across from her, she would have wondered if Dillon had given him the words to say.
Dark eyes looked at her and he nodded calmly, "Yes."
Filip himself was relieved when the words came out.
It's not hard to apologize for this thing.
Starry loosened the spoon in her hand to the inside of the soup bowl, she looked at Filip , and her good-looking eyebrows moved slightly: "Actually, you don't need to apologize, it's all in the past."
Right or wrong, it's not necessarily Filip's fault when you do the math.
Of course, Starry didn't want to make a scene, so naturally she didn't say that to Filip.
She said, pausing, not wanting to make the meal too difficult to swallow, and added, "Is the soup good?"
Filip looked at Starry across the table, she asked this question with a light smile on her brow, just a few seconds of embarrassment as if it did not exist, she was really just asking him if it was good.
"Pretty good."
Starry wasn't surprised by his answer, and she curled her lip once: "Frances likes this soup, too."
Speaking of old Mrs. Pearson, Starry talked a little more: "Speaking of which, Frances' appetite is not good every April and May, has she had a good appetite lately?"
Filip although two days ago just returned to the Pearson residence, but he generally went back to accompany a couple of hours, chatting people left, old Mrs. Pearson appetite for good things, he really did not pay attention to.
Seeing his silence, Starry knew what was going on.
She mentioned old Mrs. Pearson, just to make the meal a little more cordial, and was not meant to embarrass Filip.
"I forgot that you're busier after the start of the year."
Filip knew she was making up for him, and he didn't dodge Starry's question: "I haven't eaten with Frances for a long time, and I really don't know if she has a good appetite."
He said, with a lowered eyebrow: "I'm really not a filial junior either."
In terms of filial piety, he may really not even be half of Starry.
He used to think that Starry was to please old Mrs. Pearson to latch onto him, but now that he is a spectator, he looks back and realizes that Starry is really using his heart for old Mrs. Pearson.
It is no wonder that later they divorced, old Mrs. Pearson still think about whether she will be bullied.
Starry has been the Pearson family's granddaughter-in-law for five years, and she has some feelings for the old Mrs. Pearson, whether by agreement or by acting.
old Mrs. Pearson is indeed more rules, but she is a noble lady raised by a large family, rules more but also a reasonable.
Starry married into the Pearson family for five years, and never really suffered the old Mrs. Pearson's torture.
Now that she and Filip are divorced and old Mrs. Pearson is getting older every year, she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable: "Frances doesn't say it, but she still likes you to spend more time with her."
She said, clip a piece of fish: "Your company's busy, every month to go back to see her although quite a few times, but in the end is not as good as living in front of her."
Starry finished and slowly ate the fish.
Filip did not speak.
She finished the fish before continuing to speak, "I don't mean anything, I'm just in a good mood today and talking a bit more."
Filip caught the point of her words, "Are you in a good mood today?"
"Well, it's clear today."
The sky is clear, the sun is out, and it's finally not cloudy anymore.
Filip looked at the light smile on her face and didn't pursue the question further.
