Chapter 981: Making Tea for Brother-in-law
Zoe Lewis had just returned to the Lewis Family home when she saw Cherry Lewis rushing back with Doctor Chapman, followed by Milo Field.Cherry and Doctor Chapman went into the old lady’s room to discuss the child’s affairs, while Milo stood in the living room, speaking softly with Zoe Lewis.
"Thanks for speaking up for me at the hospital earlier."
Zoe smiled brightly, "You’re welcome. We might become family someday, so it’s only right to help you out."
"About the message I received this morning..."
"Shh."
Zoe put a finger to her lips and whispered, "I sent it, but my grandma absolutely cannot know. She really doesn’t like you. If she finds out I sided with you, she’d kill me."
Milo’s face was full of gratitude: "Thank you."
Zoe shook her head: "Don’t thank me. I’m doing this for my sister. She finally found her happiness, and I really hope you both can be well. Your back is injured, don’t just stand there. Sit down. Oh, can you sit? If not, just lie down for a while. You look really pale."
"Thanks. Your name is Zoe, right? It’s so pretty. You’re not just beautiful, but also kind-hearted. If only I’d met you sooner..."
Milo swallowed the second half of his sentence, raising his hand to gently touch Zoe’s head, looking at her with endless tenderness.
That utterly disgusted Zoe!
She barely managed to hold herself together and not dodge his hand. The moment he was done touching her, she wanted nothing more than to rush into the bathroom to wash her hair!
This guy is really something terrible. He cheated on Isabella Weaver before, and now he’s thinking about cheating on Cherry Lewis too. Does he think he can flirt around just because he’s good-looking?
He didn’t even spare someone like her! Complimenting people with his eyes closed... Her name, pleasant? Old Madam Lewis specifically changed it to something unpleasant back in the day!
Zoe lowered her head, pretending to be shy, masking her disdain and disgust in her eyes.
Thank goodness Isabella broke up with him. A man like this is not worth it.
"Could you pour me a glass of water, little sister? I might be a bit thirsty from the blood loss."
So, he’s already calling her little sister?
And starting to order her around? Just like Cherry!
Zoe glanced at him, a smile appearing on her face: "Sure, brother-in-law, I’ll get you some water right away."
He dared to drink the water she poured, what courage!
Zoe ran into the kitchen, dismissed the servants, and personally boiled water for Milo. Then she fished out a packet of powdered medicine from the cupboard and sprinkled it in.
She chuckled, this was originally prepared for the old lady, but now Milo could have a taste.
However, the powder had a slight bitter taste, and it would be easily detected if it were served with plain water. So Zoe brewed a pot of tea for Milo and brought it out.
"Brother-in-law, this is our finest Jin Jun Mei. Give it a try."
The tea was indeed excellent, and Milo realized it at first sip. He was quite thirsty and hardly noticed the slight bitterness, drinking half a pot of tea in one go before setting down the cup.
When Cherry came downstairs, she saw Milo and Zoe seated on the living room sofa, chatting merrily. They were drinking tea and eating fruit that the servants had prepared. Milo appeared gentle and handsome, and Zoe bashful and coy. Whatever they were talking about, they exchanged a smile, their rapport clear.
The scene was unbearably irritating!
"Milo!"
Cherry couldn’t suppress her jealousy and anger, immediately interrupting them: "What are you talking about with my sister, having such a good time? It seems like the injury on your back is no big deal at all. My grandma should have hit you harder!"
