Kaylee was startled “Here?”
Claire nodded. “I saw him in the corridor. He might be partying with friends in another room.”
Kaylee frowned “When I asked him this morning, he said he had work tonight.”
Claire said, ‘Maybe he’s here discussing work with someone else.”
Kaylee frowning, suddenly stood up and rushed out
Claire, eyes downcast, gently stirred her teacup with the lid and softly asked Liam, ‘Do you like tea, Liam?”
Liam seemed somewhat disappointed before Celeste replied
He gave Claire a glance and said indifferently. “It’s decent”
Claire thought she had found a common topic and started to discuss the taste and preparation of various teas with Liam very comfortably
Liam listened quietly, his face expressionless, but he didn’t interrupt her
This boosted Clairee’s confidence. She talked for a long time, but Liam didn’t respond at all.
“So, Liam, do you prefer the taste of Twinings or Tazo? Claire asked.
“Twinings Liam said.
Claire was delighted “Actually, I like Twinings too. It has a strong orchid fragrance that is very pleasant, and the taste is mellow and sweet. Other teas always seem to have a stronger bitter taste
Liam said plainly, “Mainly because the tea eggs made from it are delicious.”
Claire was stunned
Tea. You mean tea eggs?”
Liam nodded and glanced at her. “Haven’t you ever tried tea eggs boiled in Twinings?*
Claire turned pale
Isn’t it wasteful to use tea that costs millions per kilogram to make tea eggs?
She awkwardly laughed and said, “I haven’t tried it, but maybe I will next time.
Liam said. “After boiling, soak it for a few hours, the taste is stronger.”
“Are you skilled in cooking, Liam?” Claire asked.
Liam leaned in slightly closer to her.
Claire’s heart raced, and she listened carefully, only to hear Liam say in a low, deep voice, “This is a trick my wife taught me.
Claire’s expression suddenly froze.
She gripped her fingers tightly, forcing a laugh before falling silent.
Skyler had been observing their exchange. Initially, she felt hopeful seeing Liam occasionally chat with Claire, but Claire suddenly became rigid and stopped talking.
She was a bit anxious and whispered to Liam, “What did you say to Claire?”
Liam said, expressionless, “Nothing much, just talking about preferences.”
Skyler was puzzled
Would Claire react this way to a chat about preferences?
There were many people around, and she didn’t want to ask directly, so she whispered to him, “The company isn’t busy lately. Try to find time to take Claire out.”
Liam glanced at her and said. “Til arrange it.”
Skyler was delighted It seemed that today’s setup wasn’t in vain, and Liam finally understood her intentions
She picked up a piece of grilled lobster and placed it in Liam’s bowl, showcasing her limited maternal affection. “Eat more, this used to be your favorite when you were little *
Liam didn’t respond.
He didn’t like grilled lobster
When he was little, he just liked being around Skyler, so he would accept whatever she gave him
He always thought that if he acted more sensibly and obediently, she would love him as she loved Kaylee. But that wasn’t the case.
Skyler was never as close to him as she was to Kaylee. Her attention to his mood was just to avoid her grandmother’s reprimands or to secure her own family’s interests. It was never out of genuine maternal concern
