Chapter 93 A Model Husband
When Colin finished speaking, Robert curled his lips, seemingly finding it hard to tell him the answer.
Colin frowned, "What?"
Robert glanced at the place where Faye was standing with some guilt, and leaned closer to Colin, "I went to find Ms. Black, and she asked me to give you a message."
Looking at Robert who was suddenly approaching, Colin frowned even more, "Just say it! Don't stand too close!"
Robert said sneakily, "I'm afraid madam will hear me."
Colin gave him a sideways glance while still walking forward, "What message?"
Robert replied in a low voice, "She said that you have to show her your sincerity by paying her more visits."
Colin raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Does she want me to see her in person?"
Robert, "Probably."
It was hard to tell whether Colin was angry or not from his face, "Okay, as long as there is a glimmer of hope!"
After Colin finished speaking, he walked toward the kitchen.
Robert followed closely and asked curiously, "Mr. Farrell, what are you going to do here in the kitchen?"
Colin took off his suit jacket and handed it to him, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt and saying, "To cook some dishes."
On the other side, the lobby manager had already brought Faye and Carlotta to the box; he had been calling Faye Mrs. Farrell and serving them with utmost hospitality.
Faye grew up in the Farrells almost from an early age and was used to such an attitude.
But Carlotta wasn't. Seeing the lobby manager's flattering smile, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Faye saw Carlotta's discomfort at a glance. She stood up and took the purple clay pot from the lobby manager, "I'll do it."
The lobby manager smiled and handed the purple clay pot to Faye, "Mrs. Farrell, may I take your order now?"
Faye dropped her gaze and made the coffee, "We'll order after Colin comes back. Now we'll just talk."
The lobby manager understood instantly, "Okay, then if there is nothing else, I will go out first. You can call me anytime if you need anything."
Faye said lightly, "Okay, thank you."
Watching the lobby manager leave, Carlotta heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Faye with pity, "Faye, do you have to deal with such flattery every day?"
Faye smiled, "Yes."
Carlotta, "Have you got tired of it?"
Faye was pouring coffee, and when she heard her aunt's words, her hands froze somehow, but she didn't want her aunt to feel bad for her, so she just raised her eyes and replied with a smile, "I've got used to it."
Compared to the malicious Farrells, people like the lobby manager were nothing at all.
Pleasing and flattering the wealthy and powerful was the norm in society.
Faye always hid her true emotions. Carlotta knew that she couldn't get any sincere answer from her, so she simply changed the subject, "Tell me the truth, you don't like Colin?"
Faye handed Carlotta the teacup with both hands, "Yes."
Carlotta took the cup, "But he seems really into you."
Faye couldn't tell Carlotta the truth. She served herself a cup of coffee and sat down without speaking.
Seeing that Faye didn't speak, Carlotta continued, "Judging from what Colin said, he doesn't get along well with the Farrells either."
Faye said, "Right, his mother suffered a lot because of Blaine, and he was always unpopular in the Farrells when he was a child."
Carlotta seemed lost in thought after hearing her words.
Colin returned to the box after more than ten minutes.
Colin pushed open the door and entered, holding a pot of freshly squeezed juice in his hand, "Auntie, are you hungry?"
Carlotta felt awkward, "Colin, you are familiar with this place, you should order!"
Colin was good at gauging people's minds. Seeing that Carlotta was reluctant to order, he didn't force her anymore. He closed the menu and put it on the table, and then said to the lobby manager, "I want all your signature dishes."
The lobby manager smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Farrell."
Colin added, "Tell the cooks not to make them too spicy. My aunt just got out of the hospital today."
After Colin finished speaking, he looked at Carlotta, "Auntie, you just got a little better, so today you can just try some, and when you are fully recovered, I'll ask them to make it spicier."
Hearing this, Carlotta paused and was touched by Colin's consideration. She smiled, "Okay, it's up to you."
Carlotta was not a shrewd and deep person. She came from an ordinary family, and except for the death of Faye's parents, she had never been exposed to any malice, and she seldom hid her feelings.
Faye sat by the side drinking juice and watching, and she knew that it wouldn't take long for Colin to make Carlotta let go of her grudge against him.
Sometimes Faye admired Colin.
He knew when to be humble and when to be assertive.
He was decisive and intimidating outside, but in front of Carlotta, he never showed any hostility and looked just like a caring man.
If she hadn't seen his behavior from an outsider's view, she would have been moved by his filial piety.
Faye drank the juice while observing the interaction between Colin and Carlotta, and before she knew it, she had drunk it up.
After more than ten minutes, the dishes were all served.
All of them are spicy, and there were only two dishes with a mild sweet flavor.
Colin turned the table and brought the sweet dishes to Faye first, then turned the table again, and said to Carlotta, "Auntie, have a taste! Let's see if you like it."
Carlotta, "Okay, Colin, you should have a taste too."
As Colin retracted his gaze, he noticed Faye was staring at the dish in front of her. He smiled and leaned closer to her ear, "Why don't you eat it? I made it myself."
