Don't Fall For Me, CEO

Chapter 1252: Her Anticipation

"So, did Mom drink the tomato soup Dad made?"July Quinn asked, enjoying the sweet and sour tomato soup made by Kyle Keaton, while not forgetting to gossip a bit.

"I don’t know. Wasn’t I just rushing to feed you?"

Now, apart from July Quinn and the child, Kyle Keaton didn’t care much about anything else.

Since she couldn’t get any gossip, July Quinn gave someone a look of disdain.

"No wonder after becoming a son-in-law, you went from ’Lord Keaton’ to just ’Keaton’."

Kyle Keaton could easily hear that July Quinn was complaining about his uselessness.

Before becoming their family’s son-in-law, Richard Donovan would, like everyone else, politely call him "Lord Keaton."

But ever since he became their son-in-law, Richard Donovan followed Laura Quinn’s lead and started calling him "Keaton."

However, Kyle Keaton didn’t mind July Quinn’s sarcasm: "If he called me Lord Keaton, then I’d be worried!"

Yes, in Kyle Keaton’s eyes, Richard Donovan’s willingness to change how he addressed him meant he had accepted him as a son-in-law and was no longer being overly polite to him.

"Sigh, I guess I’ll have to find out the gossip myself!"

July Quinn was like a curious little baby. Not knowing if Richard Donovan’s bowl of tomato soup ended up in Laura Quinn’s stomach made her lose her appetite.

Wiping her mouth, she ran downstairs.

Kyle Keaton, with a headache, could only find a thermos to fill with piping hot tomato soup, waiting for her to come back and eat.

About half an hour later, July Quinn returned.

But Kyle Keaton didn’t ask her the outcome. Instead, he just ladled out the tomato soup.

In his eyes, nothing was more important than July Quinn not going hungry.

It was July Quinn who couldn’t help it, asking Kyle Keaton while drinking the tomato soup, "Aren’t you going to ask me about the outcome?"

"So, did Mom drink it or not?" Kyle Keaton could only go along with July Quinn’s thinking and ask.

In his view, the outcome should be good.

Look at how concerned July Quinn was about her parents’ relationship. If the answer wasn’t satisfactory, she wouldn’t have such a good appetite.

As expected, July Quinn’s answer was: "I don’t know if she drank it or not, but I heard Mom say she’s going to buy some ingredients suitable for making beef hot pot later. She’s making beef hot pot for dinner. When I was at the Donovan family home, I heard from the steward that Dad’s favorite dish is beef hot pot."

So just now, Laura Quinn should have drunk the tomato soup and felt Richard Donovan’s sincerity.

Although she hasn’t explicitly forgiven Richard Donovan yet, Richard Donovan should still have a chance.

Thinking that she might soon have a complete family, July Quinn’s eyes sparkled.

However, she didn’t express her anticipation, only complained to Kyle Keaton: "I wonder if beef hot pot is tasty."

She had only ever eaten Sichuan-style hot pot, but the beef hot pot Richard Donovan liked apparently had a clear broth base, so she hadn’t tried it and wasn’t sure if she would like it.

But Kyle Keaton could easily tell that July Quinn wasn’t really concerned about whether the beef hot pot was tasty. From beginning to end, all she cared about was whether her parents’ relationship could be reconciled.

"Don’t worry, Mom’s cooking is generally very good." Kyle Keaton wasn’t just comforting July Quinn.

Being a man himself, how could he not know that in situations like these, as long as Laura Quinn was willing to give even the slightest response, it was a massive encouragement for Richard Donovan.

So even if Laura Quinn’s beef hot pot didn’t turn out well, just the fact that she remembered Richard Donovan liked beef hot pot would definitely encourage him to keep pursuing her!

"I think so too. What should I do? I’m already starting to look forward to tonight’s dinner." July Quinn smiled extra sweetly, making Kyle Keaton wish time would stop right there.
