Farren Austin looked at her with a pair of eyes with cold determination and calm wisdom, giving people peace of mind at the same time as if they were also releasing a protective barrier, making it impossible to see through his true inner thoughts.
The rhythm of her heartbeat suddenly went haywire and she looked at him in a daze, subconsciously trying to confirm the truth of what he had just said.
A knock on the door sounded at the right time, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in this room.
“Young master, lunch is almost ready, madam asked me to come up and ask you and madam to come downstairs for dinner.”
Amelia Bright was still wondering why she had just woken up and was having lunch, but Farren Austin had already answered.
“Well, I’m on my way.”
After the maid left, Amelia Bright frowned and said, “So early for lunch today?”
“Not so early,” Farren Austin glanced at her, “as usual, eleven thirty.”
“What?” Amelia Bright’s eyes straightened, “Eleven-thirty? Why wasn’t I called?”
The sun was high outside, she had slept until noon?
The maid blushed, “When we had breakfast in the morning, madam asked me to come and call you, but the young master said that madam was … too tired last night, so she was allowed to sleep a little longer, so I didn’t call.”
At these words, the corners of Amelia Bright’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
“Mistress quickly change, lunch is ready, it is not appropriate to go down too late after a while.”
Farren Austin gave the maid a faint look.
“Got it, you go down first, we’ll be down later.”
After the maid left, Amelia Bright gritted her teeth and looked at Farren Austin, “I was just sleeping, just wake up, why did you say that to them on purpose?”
How much reverie is this going to give people?
“Isn’t that what you want?”
Farren Austin’s words left her speechless again.
When she first met him, Amelia Bright had always thought he was a bore, unable to say more than a few words a day, often stumbling over her provocative flirtations, but now the tide was turning and it was her turn to get acquainted?
At the lunch table, Erlina Lee was very attentive to give Amelia Bright a dish.
“Eat this, this is good for your energy.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
“What’s so polite?” Erlina Lee stared at her with a happy face, “You need to eat more now, and pay more attention to rest in general, give someone else the job if you should, it’s not like there’s no one else in the company.”
What did she hear from the maid?
Amelia Bright reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth, “Fortunately, the company is not busy, and Dad takes care of Chambers me.”
With that, she gave a grateful glance towards Steven Austin.
Steven Austin laughed brightly.
“It’s not that I take care of Chambers, but I never thought you were really good at this aspect of business, and it’s rare that you’re not impatient and willing to take your time on the ground.
Joziah Austin is in the middle of a dish, the hand hanging on the table for a second, and then sent the dish to Amelia Bright in front of the plate, Yin Yang said.
“Yes, I should learn from my sister-in-law, I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to take care of my big brother Chambers well, but also outstanding at work, really talented ah.”
Amelia Bright smiled faintly.
“In fact, I am rather stupid, so I usually have to think about everything many times, every time something happens I can not sleep for several nights, diligence can make up for the clumsiness.”
The two words will Joziah Austin words outside the questioning to block back.
“Right, right, I almost forgot,” Erlina Lee suddenly remembered something and interrupted the business talk with a voice, “Sister Zhou, bring the soup here.”
In the kitchen, Mrs. Zhou answered and brought out a bowl of soup.
Erlina Lee urged Amelia Bright.
“This was supposed to be drunk in the morning, but Farren said you weren’t feeling well and needed to rest, so I didn’t bother, so I’m drinking it now while we’re still eating.
The familiar color and smell made Amelia Bright’s stomach turn upside down, but she still nodded with a tense face.
“What’s this? What’s wrong with you?” Halyn Austin sat close to Amelia Bright and waved the smell in front of her eyes with disgust, “What’s that smell?”
“What are you talking about? It’s your sister-in-law’s medicine for sitting on a fetus.”
“Huh?” Halyn Austin didn’t know.
The rest of the table, however, understood, and because they were all men, no one said anything, and there was a coughing fit.
“This is a recipe that I asked an old Chinese doctor for many years, drink a bowl of it every morning before you get pregnant and keep it for three years, Amelia, drink it while it’s hot.”
Amelia Bright originally thought Erlina Lee although the brain is not good, but also not to feudal superstition, so also never doubted the reliability of the previous drink of medicine, basically dutifully drank, today is the first time I heard that this medicine is what an old Chinese doctor prescribed.
Reliable? She could not help but doubt.
“It is said that medicine is three times toxic, Amelia’s health is good you give her to drink this why? The old Chinese doctor, where did you find someone?” Steven Austin asked the question in her mind.
“How can I harm my daughter-in-law? The herbalist in the temple under the Nyang Mountain is very spiritual,” Erlina Lee said with a serious look on her face, “Several of my friends’ daughters-in-law have gotten pregnant after drinking this.”
“The temple?” Steven Austin frowned, “Are you kidding,”
He also did not bother to argue with Erlina Lee, directly blocked, “Amelia, this stuff or do not drink, what mess this is?”
“How come you can’t drink it, other people are fine if they drink it, but your daughter-in-law is not fine if she drinks it?”
“It’s not a question of whether others are okay or not.”
“…”
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Amelia Bright interrupted and said.
“I don’t think there’s any problem, Dad, I’ve been drinking this soup for a long time, it’s all made by Mom herself, I’m quite energized by it, it’s a piece of mind, even if it doesn’t do anything else, it’s good for the body, right?”
“Really? You don’t feel uncomfortable, do you?” Steven Austin was obviously not convinced.
“Really, it’s good.”
I can’t help but feel good. I can’t help but feel bitter from my mouth to my stomach, and I can’t sit still all day.
Erlina Lee also looked proud, “I said there is no problem, you have to raise a bar with me, Amelia, drink it while it is hot, cold will not be effective.”
“Hey.”
Amelia Bright strained her face, one hand pinched her nose ready to gulp it down.
Usually, she can still get away from Erlina Lee for the morning meal, and then sneakily pour the soup and medicine into the flower pot, but today a large table of people are watching her, there is no way to hide.
Before she could pick up the bowl of soup, a large hand came up to her side and pressed her wrist.
“You don’t have to drink this.”
Amelia Bright, like everyone else at the table, froze and looked at Farren Austin in disbelief.
“Farren, what are you doing? It’s for toning,” Erlina Lee explained, “Drinking it will help Amelia conceive sooner, and you’ll be a father sooner.”
“No need, I have no plans to have a baby yet.”
“What do you mean?” Erlina Lee’s face changed instantly.
Farren Austin looked cold as usual, and without hesitation, he took the medicine bowl away from Amelia Bright’s hand and handed it to the maid.
“Pour it out, and there is no need to prepare it in the future.”
