"Is Ting..." At this moment, Jane happened to come out.
However, Tristan gently interrupted, "We never put salt in chicken soup at home, because it tastes fresher and more nutritious this way."
"..." Is that so? Monica looked at him in disbelief.
Tristan's lips curled up as he praised, "So the chicken soup you made last time was especially good. I really enjoyed drinking it! And I'm used to it."
Jane was shocked, and she also seemed to understand something. Did Monica forget to put salt in the chicken soup she made for him? So he was giving her a way out?
"Oh, I see." Sure enough, Monica was happy, but as she drank the soup in the bowl, it smelled fragrant but had no taste at all, it was simply... hard to swallow!
That morning, Finnley drove from the Russell family and headed this way.
Violet sat in the passenger seat, looking out the foggy window, her mood heavy.
Albert didn't come because having more people would unconsciously put pressure on Claire. He was just going to pick her up. This wasn't a negotiation.
"Mom, when you see Claire later, don't say too much or put more pressure on her. Young people today are already under a lot of stress." Finnley said kindly as he controlled the steering wheel.
Violet had thought about it for a long time last night. "Son, it's not that your mother is unreasonable, it's that you haven't stood in your mother's position. If Claire was my own daughter, I probably wouldn't be so firmly against her being with Rowan today."
"She's not your own, so you want her to be happy even more." Finnley understood.
"Yes." Violet admitted, "Your uncle and aunt entrusted Claire to us before they passed away. We have a responsibility and obligation to raise her and let her live happily. We've lost her once already, we can't lose her a second time."
"Last time was just an accident. How many times can a person experience an accident like that in life?" Finnley didn't quite understand and asked, "Should we all choose not to go out when we see news of a car accident?"
