“In fact, it is not much hard work, in addition to the years over there to hide their identity, training their men, passing intelligence, and the same as before in the domestic military area to do all the same things, only a change of place,”
Calla Moon sat beside the old man and smiled, “The scenery of the Somali Peninsula is actually very good, Master can go play now that he is retired and has time.”
“I want to go too,” Halyn Austin immediately raised her hand, excited, “I haven’t been there yet.”
“You go what to go?” Erlina Lee immediately interrupted, “Haven’t you heard how unsafe it is over there? This time your brother was injured there, your sister Calla Moon almost died there, is that a joke?”
“Sister Calla Moon, she knows the place so well, she can protect me for sure.”
“Yes,” Calla Moon took over, “Auntie, in fact, it’s not as scary as the rumors, there are still quite a lot of tourists there, if Halyn follows me there, there will definitely be no problem.”
As we were talking, the maid outside passed the word that the third young master and the first young grandmother had returned.
Erlina Lee glanced toward the door just in time to see Joziah Austin and Amelia Bright come in one after the other, and asked suspiciously.
“Why are you two back together?”
Before Amelia Bright could say anything, Joziah Austin jumped in and said.
“Oh, I met my sister-in-law in front of Gong Olson when I was leaving work, so I brought her back.”
“You usually don’t go home until midnight, but this time you stopped by.”
Erlina Lee glanced coldly at her son, and her tone was, as always, clipped.
Joziah Austin looked like she was used to it and walked away without further ado.
Amelia Bright greeted everyone in the house, nodded when she saw Calla Moon, and asked the maid, “Where’s Farren?”
“The young master was called to the study by the old master as soon as he returned.”
The old master was a clear-eyed man, probably to ask Farren Austin about his leg and about Calla Moon.
“Amelia, if you have nothing to do, go to the kitchen to help a little, not that you are the one who cooks when you are at home, it is not open yet, you also cook a few dishes that Farren likes to eat.”
Erlina Lee looked at her, her attitude was not too good.
Amelia Bright knew it was because of the feud Erlina Lee had made with herself when Farren Austin left Hounslow for his mission, and it hadn’t subsided to this day.
The house was crowded and she didn’t want to stay longer, so she complied and followed the maid to the kitchen.
Fortunately, she has learned to cook for a few days, barely stir-fry a dish or two that can be eaten is not a big problem.
“Young grandmother, let’s do it, you just rest.”
“No, no, you’re all done, I’ll just fry two dishes.”
The maids couldn’t resist her, and seeing that she could cut the vegetables in a good way, they let her do it by herself.
Calla Moon came in just in time.
“What’s cooking? I’ll help.”
Hearing her voice, Amelia Bright’s chopping action gave a slight pause, showing some displeasure, “No need, Miss Mu, you are a guest, guests go sit in the living room, I see that Mom and Halyn are chatting with you quite well.”
“Halyn and I have known each other since childhood, a few years older than her, treat her like a sister, grandfather is my master, in the Austin family is like their own home, not considered a guest, you do not polite me.”
She smilingly said this, then rolled up her sleeves to take the initiative to wash vegetables in the sink, very familiar with the question.
“Do you want to make eggs with tomatoes, Farren likes them best, but he doesn’t like them sweet, so don’t put sugar in them.”
“You know so much about Farren’s tastes?”
“Yes,” Calla Moon smiled.
“After all, Farren and I grew up together and have known each other for so many years, whether in the military or on a mission, eating and living together is a common occurrence, so if I didn’t even know what he likes to eat, then it would really be a waste of so many years of being his partner.”
“But I remember Farren told me that because of the boring training in the military zone and the difficult conditions of the mission, he did not have any precautions in terms of food, and always ate what he had.”
“Did he say that?”
“Of course, why would I lie to you about that?” Amelia Bright reached down and took a tomato from under her, “And no, I’m not making scrambled eggs with tomatoes, I’m making cold tomatoes.”
The meal was almost ready, and she had nothing better to do than make another dish and serve it up.
Calla Moon’s face was a little stiff, and she washed her hands and stood quietly watching Amelia Bright.
She was slicing tomatoes, not very skilled with the knife, so she was careful.
“Do you hate me?”
Amelia Bright had no time for her and said lightly, “Not really.”
“I don’t see anything wrong if you hate me, after all, I’m an indelible presence in Farren’s past, and if I were you, I’d hate an existence like me too.”
“According to your kind of logic, can I also say that you hate me a lot? Or even hate me more than I hate you?”
Amelia Bright stood up straight and looked at Calla Moon without losing her temper in the slightest, “After all, I am indelible in Farren’s present and future, while you are only in the past and are just a past comrade and partner.”
Calla Moon’s psychological quality is indeed very good, hearing such words did not have the slightest change on his face, and even gave a laugh, seemingly some disdain, “But the past is fixed.
“But the past is a certainty, but everything in the future is unknown.”
“…”
At dinner time.
Amelia Bright brought to the table her own ‘carefully’ cut out and sprinkled with sugar cold tomatoes.
“This is your cooking?” Erlina Lee looked at her with displeasure, “Half the time you’ve been tinkering with it and you come up with this?”
“Farren likes to eat.”
Amelia Bright blinked with an innocent look and took a slice into Farren Austin’s bowl, “Right?”
“Mmm.”
Farren Austin was naturally cooperative.
When she saw her son’s behavior, Erlina Lee was so angry that she couldn’t let it out, so she just glared at Amelia Bright, and kept on talking about what happened to her after Farren Austin left. The first thing you need to do is to put a sign around Amelia Bright’s neck that she is ‘ungrateful to her in-laws’ and parade it through the streets.
But before Farren Austin could defend her, Steven Austin glared at his wife and said
“Amelia is not a housewife like you, she is too busy to eat Chambers these days, she can stop Farren from leaving Hounslow? You don’t put all the fault on others.”
“Yes, Mom, you say less, my sister-in-law is hard enough.”
Halyn Austin came out of the sun and spoke up for Amelia Bright.
Erlina Lee was even more furious.
“What about her going around to parties and drinking parties? While Farren is away, she makes herself look like a socialite, making friends with people everywhere. If I had known this, I would have let Farren do what he wanted for ….”
Erlina Lee’s words only half said, then suddenly realized that something was wrong, and stopped.
Amelia Bright, however, pursued the question.
“For what?”
