You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 77

“She’s your junior sister?” He asked in a nonchalant tone, and his gaze fell on Shirley once again, in a rage.

Damn woman. So she was the master’s apprentice, and she had kept it to herself.

And why was that man holding her child?

“Yeah, she is the youngest apprentice our master has taken. She has just entered the profession less than six years ago.” Amelia was smiling. Her voice was sweet and soft. However, in her words, she had already revealed that Shirley joined this profession late and not as good as Amelia.

Mildred gritted her teeth, clutching a chopstick in each hand, and looked towards Shirley.

Shirley shook her head slightly, signalling Mildred not to say anything. She had already understood Amelia’s motive for getting closer to Bryan. For the sake of the master’s banquet to go smoothly, she would just put up with this idiot woman for the time being.

The atmosphere changed after Bryan sat down at this table. Shirley, in particular, felt uncomfortable and awkward. Luckily, Amelia was chattering away, trying her best to validate her existence in front of Bryan, which helped ease the depressing atmosphere.

Not long after, the food was served.

Shirley saw that Emma was still on Kevin’s lap, and she said solemnly, “Emma, sit on the chair. Kevin is about to eat, and it will be inconvenient with you sitting on his lap.”

“No, no. I won’t move around, then Daddy Mitchell can eat.” Kevin treated the kids so gently that the kids even mistakenly thought that Kevin was their real daddy. And this led to the two children not even looking at Bryan after sitting there for more than ten minutes.

And now that Emma was fussing about not wanting to get off Kevin, Bryan’s face darkened suddenly.

“Shirley, just let her be.”

“Kevin…”

“It’s indeed not good to let a child sit on an adult’s lap when eating. In case the food accidentally falls on the child, it might burn her.” Shirley was about to speak when the man beside her interjected. His voice was cold and full of disdain, with a strong smell of jealousy.

Kevin was startled as he looked up at Bryan and smiled, “Right. I overlooked that. Emma, be a good girl and sit on the high chair. When we finish eating, Daddy Mitchell will take you home and tell you a story, okay?”

Kevin’s gentle and doting expression, coupled with the fact that he called himself ‘Daddy’ to the child, made Bryan blew a gasket inside, gritting his teeth secretly.

Why did Bryan feel that the children were getting further away from him?

Previously, they even came to the office to look for him, but now, they didn’t even bother to look at him. What had gone wrong?

The two even called that man ‘Daddy,’ even though they were calling his surname too, Bryan still felt uncomfortable with it.

How could his children call others’ Daddy’?

Bryan suddenly felt that it was a big mistake to wait for Shirley to tell him everything herself. And he couldn’t wait any longer…

He had to fight for his own way!

On the other hand, Kevin had already carried Emma, placing her in the high chair, and he served her a bowl of soup personally.

Shirley had a glimpse but didn’t stop him.

Kevin was like that, always being so attentive. He and Mildred watched the children since birth. Allegedly, it was Kevin who changed the babies’ diapers. He was also good at preparing milk formulas and feeding them.

“Jacob, what do you prefer to eat?”

Several menacing looks were directed at Amelia from different directions.

Mildred naturally didn’t let go of this opportunity. She dissed, “Didn’t you know that there are a lot of bacteria in adults’ saliva, and children’s immunity is not as strong as adults? Just like kissing a child, you can’t just share your chopsticks or spoon, not to mention you’re not his biological parent too. It’s so rude using your chopsticks you have eaten with to help someone to the dish.”

After Mildred finished talking, Bryan hurriedly lifted his hand and quickly moved Jacob’s bowl away, speaking nonchalantly, “Indeed, it’s not that nice.”

Bryan was using the serving chopsticks.

Amelia was being reproached by Mildred while Bryan added fuel to the fire again, making Amelia looked terrible. But there was nothing she could do. She had been trying to prove her existence in front of Bryan in the hope of becoming his psychiatrist.

Amelia gave an ashamed smile, retracted her chopsticks immediately and placed the meat she was holding in her chopsticks into her bowl, and said, “The kid is just so cute that I was too happy and nearly forgot about it. Thanks to Ms. Walker’s reminder, I was really too rude just now.”

Mildred then sneered sarcastically, “Shirley always uses the utensils separately when feeding her kids. The two grew up and not even have eaten their mommy’s saliva, but now accidentally ate a stranger’s saliva. Well, I ask you! Please be mindful. The mother didn’t say a word just because she was embarrassed about talking to you.”

After saying, Mildred proudly tilted her chin, showing a triumphant expression.

Amelia looked terrible.

Bryan at the side had long been fed up with her. Then he suddenly glanced at the bowl of soup that was placed next to him. He lowered his head and asked, “Do you prefer the prawns over there? I’ll get one for you.”

“Sure. Thank you.”

Bryan stretched out his hand and picked up a shrimp. Just when he was about to withdraw his hand, his elbow hit the soup on his side, and the hot soup was poured onto Amelia’s thigh.

Amelia leapt to her feet, exclaiming, “Ahhhh…”
