Due to minor stomach bleeding, Kevin had to be extra careful with his diet.
So after he woke up, James went to ask the specially invited recuperating team from the domestic to cook for him.
When he took the meal over to him, he saw three sullen figures sitting outside the door. They all looked depressed.
The shock of his brother who once fought alongside him turning into a woman and becoming, his own bossâs wife was already massive.
And on top of that, they also encounteredâ¦
Even though they all had good psychological quality, it was still a bit hard for them to bear at this moment.
âWhat are you guys doing here?â
The three of them looked up at him but no one spoke.
James glanced at the confusion in their eyes, feeling inexplicable.
Ignoring the three of them, James knocked on the door. After waiting for a bit, he pushed it open and entered.
Thomas Firway watched his knocking actionâ¦
Didnât he have long arms? Why didnât he knock just now?
After James went in, and not coming out again, the three of them immediately got up and followed him inside.
âThird Master, have something to eat.â As James spoke, he placed a small table on the bed and then placed the food on it one by one.
Not only was there food for Kevin, but also for Daisy.
James had brought Daisy her breakfast earlier in the day, but when he saw that she hadnât eaten, he thought it must have gone cold, so he brought her a new set as well.
After everything was set, James looked at Kevin for a moment. Suddenly noticing his broken lips, he blurted out, âThird Master, what happened to your lips?â
The three people behind him all looked at Kevinâs lips.
His lower lip was cracked, and it was a little swollen.
After the four of them finished examining his lips, they all involuntarily looked at Daisy.
This wifeâ¦is quite fierce, huh?
Daisy first glanced at Kevin, who had a smile in his eyes, then looked up at the four of them.
Her gaze seemed to say: What are you looking at?
It also seemed to say: You know too much, sheâs going to kill off the witnesses.
Thomas Firway averted his gaze first.
James realized belatedly that heâd been too quick to speak. He coughed lightly and said, âThird Master, Lady Zane, enjoy your meal. Iâll be right outside if you need me.â
He left without saying another word.
The other three didnât say a word and followed him out.
It wasnât until they were gone that Daisy finally withdrew her gaze.
Kevin pinched her fingers and said, âGo back to Dark Radiance and rest after we finish eating.â
âThereâs no need,â Daisy said. âThereâs a bed here, itâs just as good for resting.â
âLittle Girlâ¦â
âYou, a patient, have no right to negotiate with me.â
Kevin:
âEat.â
âBut Iâ¦â
âYour injured left hand.â Daisy instantly saw through his intentions, placed his right hand on the small table, and stuffed the spoon into it, âEat.â
Kevin looked at his left hand and then at his right hand.
Impressive, you two. Couldnât you have swapped injuries?
While they were eating, Daisyâs cell phone rang.
They both glanced at it, the caller ID labeled: âLittle Girl.â
It was Oliviaâs call.
Daisy immediately answered, and as soon as it connected Olivia spoke, âWhy didnât you reply to my message?â
Relieved to hear she was fine, Daisy let out a breath, âI havenât checked my phone. Whatâs up?â
Kevin listened to Daisyâs voice softened by a couple degrees, squinted his eyes, and then began grinding his teeth after a while.
âMy mid-term test results are out.â Oliviaâs tone was quite proud and haughty. Yet it also carried a certain calmness.
Daisy chuckled, âHow did you do?â
Imperial Capital Lane Family.
William watched his sister dialing Kevinâs wife as soon as she got her results, all the while maintaining a calm and collected demeanor as if she was just informing her of the news.
Today was Sunday, and as soon as the results were out, Skyler Thomas informed William about it right away.
Skylerâs voice trembled with excitement, while William was calm. He knew his sister too well.
It was only a matter of whether or not she wanted to do well on the exam, not whether she was capable of it.
That was the score she should have received in the first place.
Butâ¦he was quite curious about why she suddenly took the exam seriously.
He had tried numerous times, put in so much effort, and sent her to Senior Three several times without changing her mind.
Yet, out of the blue, she obeyed and did well on the exam.
âOf course, Iâm the grade topper,â Olivia said with a smirk. â745.â
Daisyâs cell phone volume was quite loud, so Kevin heard almost everything. He thought to himself: Whatâs there to brag about with a 745?
He didnât take the College Entrance Exam; he was directly admitted.
Daisy smiled: âNot bad. Iâll have some banners prepared in advance. After your college entrance exam, Iâll hang them all the way from school to the Lane Family home to welcome you.â
âThatâs so tacky,â Olivia said, disgusted. âI donât want it.â
âThen what do you want?â
âMy birthday is at the end of the month,â Olivia replied, âThere will be a charity auction evening party at the Doomsday Hotel. You should come.â
âOn the 30th?â
As soon as Daisy finished asking, Kevin offered her some shrimp to eat.
She hesitated for a moment, glanced at Kevin, and opened her mouth to eat it.
âYes.â
âAlright,â Daisy said, âIâll make time for it. What kind of gift do you want?â
âIsnât it obvious?â Olivia replied. âAnything but the banners, just as long as you show up.â
âOkay.â
After hanging up, Daisy finally started eating.
Kevin served her some food: âThe Lane family holds a charity auction on Oliviaâs birthday every three years. Outsiders only know about the charity auction every three years but donât know itâs Oliviaâs birthday on that day.â
Hosting the charity auction was like offering a blessing to Olivia.
It was enough for the family to know that, and there was no need for it to go public.
Thatâs why it was never announced.
Daisy replied, âIt must be quite lively that day.â
âYes,â Kevin said, âA rare large-scale socializing opportunity.â
âDo you go back for Oliviaâs birthday every year?â
Kevin shook his head: âOccasionally.â
Daisy nodded: âI suppose you go to Charlotteâs birthday every year?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Caught off guard, Kevin choked: âNot really.â
He indeed had not attended Charlotteâs birthday during the early years of starting the Easton Group. So⦠it wasnât a lie.
âDonât get worked up. I didnât say anything else,â Daisy said calmly.
Kevin felt his heart skip two beats. This was even more terrifying than saying something else: âMy lady, sheâs just my niece. Sheâs no different in my heart than Lily. To me, sheâs just a junior relative.â
Daisy raised her eyebrows: âThird Master, if you explain further, it means youâre guilty.â
Kevin immediately shut up, took a big bite of food, and stuffed his mouth.
Daisy raised the corner of her mouth.
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital.
William felt that Olivia became much happier after talking on the phone with Daisy.
Watching Olivia humming a tune while going upstairs, William narrowed his eyes.
A 745 score that she casually mentioned to him, how come she was so happy after telling an outsider?
When did his sister open up to an outsider?
Kevinâs wifeâ¦
Was it possible that she casts spells on people?
Why did everyone who got close to her end up liking her?
When Xavier mentioned her, his words were full of admiration and respect. Hugo praised her as well.
Kevin? He practically blossomed!
And his sister⦠his sister made him feel as if she was being taken away from him.
Was it worth it?
All for a woman? Was it worth it?
He couldnât understand it, not for a million reasons.
