Ethan habitually made tea in the tearoom. Not long after, the fragrance of the tea curled up, somewhat showing a sense of peace. He personally ordered tea for the two of them. "Alline, you haven't drunk the tea made by grandpa, right? Have a taste today. How does it taste? "
Alline took it over in a hurry, but her fingertips trembled slightly because of the heat from the glass.
"Watch out! Hiram, who has been silent all the time, suddenly reminded when he saw this scene. But it was too late. Because of Alline's nervousness, a cup of hot tea was all poured on the back of her hand.
Because the water in the cup had just boiled, her hand immediately turned red.
At that moment, regardless of the pain, Alline was extremely embarrassed. She steadily put the teacup on the table. She had never drunk any tea. In Lou family, when Andrew was free, he would occasionally show off his tea skills, but Alline liked to drink some carbon coke. She hadn't really drunk this kind of tea before, so she accidentally scalded her fingers.
"Let me have a look. Without any refutation, Hiram pulled her hand. Her fingers and the back of her hand were scalded red. With a slight frown, he suddenly stood up and took her to the room without demur. He turned on the tap and let the cold water wash on her fingers for a while before he said reproachfully, "Fortunately, it's not hot. Why are you so careless! "
"I didn't know it would be so hot! Said Alline uneasily. All of a sudden, she felt a little concerned about the rudeness of Hiram. Maybe this man still cared about her subconsciously!
Somehow, such an idea came to Alline's mind.
"What are you thinking about? You are so stupid! Even the tea couldn't be served well! Hiram said mercilessly. He cleaned her fingers and kept mumbling, "If you still feel pain later, call the doctor to send some scalding medicine! "
"Hiram, in fact, you still care about me, don't you? Alline don't know why, she asked softly.
Hiram was a little angry, "When did I care about you? I just don't want to see your hand scald and lose a capable subordinate. Besides, I don't want to take care of you. You are so stupid! "
There was finally a glimmer of warmth in Alline's eyes. Seeing this awkward man, she stood on tiptoe to kiss the corner of his mouth and said, "Hiram, if you care about me, you can tell me. I won't laugh at you! "
"How could you see that I care about you? You flatter yourself. Go out. Don't make grandpa wait too long! He pulled a piece of tissue and threw it to her. Then he went out without looking back, leaving Alline alone. She couldn't help smiling.
'Hiram, you are arrogant, awkward and sharp tongued!
When Ethan saw the two of them come out, Hiram looked cold and indifferent, but there was a little anger in his eyes. On the other hand, there was a smile on the expressionless face of Alline. Ethan glanced at them and asked with concern, "Are you all right? "
Alline smiled gently, "Grandpa, I'm fine here. Hiram takes good care of me. She married to L city far away. Because of the customs of the two cities, she couldn't integrate into the life here so soon, but she knew what kind of life she lived.
She was married by Lou group as a victim of a commercial marriage, so she never had any requirements. From the first day she entered the house, she would not show too much emotion in front of the Mo family. In addition, the Mo family more or less had a natural sense of superiority, so they naturally did not like a daughter-in-law from another province, especially for her, Gloria was not good to her.
Although the people in other rooms didn't say anything, they were not close to Alline.
However, Cathy had trained her temper for three years, so it was appropriate for her to deal with these things. She was the daughter-in-law of the Mo family, but because of her way of entering the house and the deep pain and disgust of Hiram, it was not easy for her to live in this family!
Fortunately, Alline didn't have the habit of making trouble. She stayed in a small yard and lived a peaceful life. Moreover, in the Mo family, Kevin had always been very good to her. She had always had a good impression of him who had saved her once. In addition, the two of them had been in the same age, so they got along well with each other. Therefore, she was happy in the Mo family. Kevin didn't have many chances to see her, but every time he came back, he would bring her some rare things!
"I'm satisfied to see that you two love each other more and more. When the company is not so busy, give birth to a child as soon as possible. I can help you take care of him or her for a few days! Ethan looked forward to it, and even his spirits are full of expectation.
Alline was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer this question. She was only twenty years old and hadn't planned to have a child so early. Moreover, did Hiram want a child? He didn't seem to have such a plan!
