Then in the dining hall of Liam’s mansion at night.
Seeing all the meals on the desk, Jacob was beyond excited, “Liam, what a feast!”
Instead of responding, Liam just took a glance at Rita’s room on the second floor.
“Liam, did you make this for me?” Jacob who was staring the meal all the time didn’t really notice Liam’s look and was touched inside.
Liam obvious appreciated his effort today!
Then he sat down and reached for the chicken with chopsticks.
“Wait a minute.” Liam suddenly spoke.
Jacob paused and looked at Liam in bewilderment, “Wait for what?”
“She hasn’t come down yet.” Liam said slowly.
Hearing his words, Jacob immediately figured out what he was suggesting.
He meant that he can’t start eating now because Rita wasn’t downstairs yet.
Jacob let out a wry smile said, “Liam, you just have to play hos before bros, huh?”
“Sure.”
Hearing Liam’s brisk reply, Jacob put down the chopstick and acted sad, “Liam, you would sure lose me one day by doing this to me.”
But Liam just ignored him and sipped the cold tea, “Did you do the things right?”
“yes, both of the legs were broken.” Jacob immediately got serious. “I’ve thrown her in front of the Nash Family.”
“Don’t let the Nash family member get out of the F City.” Liam said indifferently.
“Yes.” Jacob nodded.
Then after chatting for a while, Rita finally got downstairs.
Seeing that she was finally downstairs, Jacob was beyond happy.
He didn’t start eating until Rita picked up the chopsticks. “I can start now, Lima?”
“Go ahead.”
Jacob then started wolfing down the food.
There was no other sound on the desk apart from Jacob’s chewing and the clashing of bowls.
Liam and Rita all stayed quiet and didn’t have any conversation.
Liam picked some lobsters and started shelling.
Then he pushed the lobster meat to Rita and said, “The housemaid bought this from the supermarket today. They are quite fresh.”
Looking at the meat, Jacob drooped his eyes sadly. ‘Is this really the difference between one’s wife and brother?’
Staring at the meat in front of her, Rita didn’t reject this time but picked one and started chewing.
She then smiled, “Thank you.”
This was the first time that she smiled at him for a long time.
Though it was not that sincere, Liam was still delighted, “I will ask housemaid to make more if you like this.”
“There is really no need of that.” Rita hurriedly shook her head.
She was indifferent to him before because she thought that he was the one who broke her leg.
