“Mrs. Burton, have some herbal soup.”
Thanks, Miss Jennifer.
Rachel was reading a book on the couch with a sweater draped over her when Jennifer came with a bowl of soup.
The recently disgruntled Rachel had finally managed to recover a little thanks to Jennifer’s help in taking care of her by providing nutritious food.
“Why are you thanking me? All these bowls of herbal soup were sent by Frankie. He had been sending these tonics for the past two days and it would be a waste if you don’t eat them.”
While she drank the soup, Rachel glanced at one corner of the living room where Frankie placed all the tonics
earlier from the corner of her eye.
Although Justin hadn’t visited for the past few days, the items at home still continued to arrive as Frankie would swing by with bags after bags of things every morning.
Even though Rachel didn’t talk to Justin, she still acknowledged everything that he did.
Miss Jennifer, thank you for the past two days.
“You’re welcome.” Jennifer pointed at the kitchen. “There’s still more herbal soup in the kitchen. You should drink some since you haven’t eaten lunch yet, Frankie. I’ll go and get some for you.”
“It’s fine,” came Frankie’s reply.
Nevertheless, Jennifer still proceeded to the kitchen despite his refusal.
At the same time, Rachel placed her bowl of herbal soup back on the table before she lowered her head to read her book
Upon seeing that, Frankie hesitantly responded, “Mrs. Burton, the reason why President Burton hasn’t been returning home is because he’s afraid that you’ll lose your appetite at his sight. He actually cares about you.”
However, she snorted.
For the past six months, everything that Justin had done made her feel like throwing the towel. As for Hans and Grandma’s deaths, which one of them wasn’t caused by him? What is he trying to do by being nice to me again?
