Amelia Bright did not expect Halyn Austin to make a move, and did not react at once, watching the scalding hot water splashed towards her face.
A strong force suddenly hit her waist, dragging her backward quickly, and then stumbled and fell down, and when she came back to her senses, she realized she was sitting on Farren Austin’s lap.
She didn’t know when he’d arrived and pulled her away so opportunistically.
“Brother?” Halyn Austin froze as well, standing helplessly in place with an empty cup.
Amelia Bright came back to her senses and was busy getting off Farren Austin’s body and standing up. Without waiting for her to speak, Farren Austin gave Halyn Austin a cold look and questioned.
“Who taught you to throw water on people?”
“Brother, she scolded me first, she said Jay Mo can’t look at me, she scolded me for being uncultured.”
“Are you educated?” Farren Austin’s eyes were sharp, staring at her like an ice knife.
“How long has it been since Jay Mo’s incident, and you’re at home crying and crying and refusing to meet people, did your family raise you to die for a man?”
Halyn Austin’s eyes instantly reddened.
“You’re unreasonable! She’s the one who seduced Jay Mo. If it weren’t for her, Jay Mo and I would be engaged.”
“That’s enough.”
Farren Austin interrupted her unceremoniously, “If you keep making trouble in the house like this, you’ll stay in your room for the rest of your life.”
Halyn Austin’s face turned red with anger and said.
“How dare you scold me for her, you … you will never be my brother again.”
With those words, she turned her head and ran back to her room, the sound of the door closing almost brought the house down.
Amelia Bright winced and stood awkwardly in place, not knowing what to say to resolve the moment’s awkwardness.
“Does it burn?”
“No,” she said, shaking her head numbly.
Farren Austin’s gaze fell on her red ankle and he frowned unhappily, “You call that not burning?”
Following his gaze, Amelia Bright saw that her ankle was red from the water that had just been splashed on it, and only now did she realize that it was a little tingly and painful.
“Aunt Zhou, bring the medicine box over here.”
Before she could react, Farren Austin had already instructed the maid to get the medicine.
It had been just two days since the last time he had rubbed his own medicine, and history was always strikingly similar. Amelia Bright was on the sofa, watching Farren Austin rub her ankle with his head down, with some mixed feelings.
The Blue Eagle Special Forces he formed when he was seventeen is still the most elite special operations team in the force, with a nearly 100 percent success rate on missions.
If not for the exercise accident that led to his legs disabled, his political career should be smooth sailing, originally he would have brought the Austin family unlimited glory, but he hid the fact that his legs had healed, which used how much strategy and calculation, it is not difficult to imagine what he faced a difficult and dangerous environment.
Such a man should be hard as iron inside, but after so long together, she found another side of him that is not known, he does not seem to be such a cold person on the surface.
“Okay.”
A low voice snapped back to her thoughts as Farren Austin lowered her legs from her knees.
“You really don’t know what the Austin family is all about, knowing that you’re being relocated because of Jay Mo, and you’re still actively moving up to it.”
“What kind of people?” Amelia Bright blinked and after circling Chambers, lowered her voice and said, “It can’t be a den of tigers and wolves, can it? That’s at least your sister.”
Farren Austin was speechless by her rebuttal and glanced at her.
“Still not scalded enough.”
“That’s enough,” she waved her hand, “I’ll go around her in the future, I don’t want to be disfigured.”
I don’t want to be disfigured.” If that cup of boiling water had been splashed on her face, it would have been disfiguring.
At dinner time, Erlina Lee saw Halyn Austin did not come down, thinking that the maid was lazy and did not shout.
“Aunt Zhou, go get Halyn to come downstairs for dinner.”
Aunt Zhou looked at Farren Austin and his wife with difficulty.
“I don’t think the second young lady wants to come down for dinner.”
“What do you mean you don’t want to?” Erlina Lee frowned, “This table is specially made for her, go get her.”
“No,” Farren Austin took over, stopping Aunt Zhou’s helpless figure from going upstairs, “Let her reflect on what she did wrong if she doesn’t want to eat, no need for everyone to cajole her.”
As soon as she heard this, Erlina Lee heard that something was wrong.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Amelia Bright interrupted, wanting to make a big deal out of it, “I’ll just go get her.”
Farren Austin squeezed her shoulder and looked cold.
“You didn’t get burned badly enough and you’re going to go get burned again?”
The mood at the table froze for a moment.
Erlina Lee froze for a long time and questioned, “What is going on?”
Aunt Zhou cautiously surveyed the crowd’s expressions and explained, “Madam, it’s nothing, it’s just that the second young miss and the first young grandmother had a few words and got upset, so they went back to their rooms.”
“It’s just a small matter, you guys are really,” Erlina Lee gave Amelia Bright a displeased look, “Halyn is still young, you as a sister-in-law don’t know how to let her go.”
“You’re wrong,” Farren Austin said, “Amelia is younger than Halyn.”
“But she’s still her sister-in-law. Halyn’s a girl, she’s going to get married, so why should she suffer at home?”
The situation was a bit stagnant.
With a ‘pop’ sound, Farren Austin put down his chopsticks.
“Aunt Zhou, go get Halyn to come down for dinner.”
“That’s right, you are Halyn’s brother, Amelia and Halyn tussling, even if Halyn has any fault, you should have been more considerate sister, how do you instead help …”
“Are you full? Send me back to my room.”
Farren Austin ignored what Erlina Lee said straight away, gave Amelia Bright a look and pushed the wheelchair away from the table.
Amelia Bright froze for a moment and immediately snapped back to her senses; she couldn’t wait to get going, even though the dishes hadn’t even been touched, let alone eaten.
“Well, you’re not feeling well, are you? Then I’ll take you to your room.”
She got up immediately and gave Erlina Lee an apologetic look.
“Mom, Farren is not feeling well, I’ll take him to his room first.”
After saying that, she pushed Farren Austin upstairs.
Erlina Lee stared straight at her, inexplicably disliked by her son’s stomach of anger can not be spilled, the only family submissive daughter-in-law is now used to playing Tai Chi, a punch on the cotton is not enough, and now her own son is so protective of her, this is still possible?
Amelia Bright pushed Farren Austin into the bedroom, and when she closed the door, she heard Aunt Zhou and Erlina Lee talking downstairs.
“So protective of your daughter-in-law, how can this be?”
“Madam, you don’t know, this evening the second young lady almost threw a cup of boiling water on the first young grandmother’s face, can the first young master not be angry?”
