Chapter 514 Respect Each Other
Hank had never been snubbed like this since his career took off. In the entire Jones family, he was the only one who seemed out of place. Even when Sister Zhang watched him stand there in the kitchen, she felt a little lonely and even a little sympathetic for him. “Sir, why don’t you come to the kitchen and do something? In this way, Miss Jones and the others might understand you.” Sister Zhang did not have any better ideas. “It’s fine.” Hank placed the purchase contract on the wine cabinet and walked towards them. In front of the French window in the living room. Rae hugged Ni’er while Xuanze and Lyra sat at the side and drank tea. They really looked like a happy and harmonious family. He was both envious and helpless when he saw it. Lyra had noticed his gaze since the beginning, but she did not understand why Hank refused to leave. He could ask Keith to send the purchase contract, but he had to come here. Thinking of what he had said before, Lyra couldn’t help but frown. Rae glanced at their expressions and directly carried Ni’er to Lyra’s side. She said in a particularly gentle voice, “Ni’er, do you like Auntie Jones?” “Of course,” Ni’er nodded with a smile. “Then do you want Auntie Jones to accompany you every day?” “I hope so!” Ni’er continued to nod. She hugged Lyra tightly with her small hands and refused to let go. Xuanze stood aside and smiled gently. In the entire living room, only Hank had a cold look on his face.
However, when he gave this little girl a lesson before, they had a very unpleasant quarrel.
He did not want to make the same mistake again.
It just so happened that the doll that Ni’er had been holding in her hand had fallen to the ground. “I will help you pick it up.” Hank immediately stepped forward. His face, which rarely appeared to be smiling, became a little softer. He reached out and handed the doll to Ni’er. He also said, “There are freshly made strawberry egg tarts in the kitchen. Do you want to eat them?”
For a moment, the eyes of the three adults fell on him. Even Lyra was surprised. Was this man in front of her really Hank? He had always been serious, unsmiling, and even rarely interacted with children. But at this moment, he was actually willing to lower his head and pick up toys for Ni’er. Hank made Lyra feel so strange that she even doubted if the scene in front of her was an illusion.
Rae was the first to react. She said with a smile in front of Ni’er, “Sister Zhang’s cooking is very good. I suggest that you all try it. I’ll go first.” She got up first and run to the kitchen. Then it was Ni’er. When Ni’er stood up, Xuanze naturally followed her. When Lyra. wanted to get up, there was a warm palm in front of her. He smiled and said in a low voice, “Be careful.” Lyra’s eyebrows twitched and she stood up with her hand on his wrist. “I will take a good look at the contract. If you have something to do, you can leave first.” No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Hank did not need to stay. Everyone would feel very awkward.
However, he seemed like a different person. “I have not eaten the food made by Sister Zhang for a long time. I want to stay and have a taste.”
