Chapter 407: You Always Avoid Me
Chapter 407: You Always Avoid Me
Mrs. Bush came out of the kitchen, followed by a servant, carrying a bowl of soup.
“Amos, dinner is ready, it’s all your favorite food.” Mrs. Bush came over and looked at Nathan happily, like a young girl who was just in love.
Nathan walked by her coldly, and Mrs. Bush hurriedly followed him, “Amos, this is your seat.”
Nathan did not sit on the chair that Mrs. Bush pulled away from him but went straight to the position closest to Crystal.
The dining table was very long, so the food was mainly placed in front of the prominent seat, but Nathan had sat far away from it.
“Don’t you usually like to sit in this position?” Mrs. Bush directed the servants,
“Move all the dishes there.”
“...”
Mrs. Bush had obviously dressed up. She took off her apron and was about to sit next to Nathan, who just coldly resisted, “Stay away from me.”
Crystal frowned. Nathan’s attitude was so bad!
On the contrary, Mrs. Bush seemed to be accustomed to it. It turned out that Amos used to treat Mrs. Bush in this way.
Mrs. Bush began to feel upset, “We already have a baby, why do you still not allow me to sit next to you?”
Nathan was a little impatient and pointed to Crystal coldly, “You, sit here.”
Crystal’s back stiffened, and all the servants suddenly looked at her, including Mrs. Bush.
Crystal had put on heavy makeup, so Mrs. Bush did not recognize her.
She gave Nathan a severe warning.
Sure enough, Mrs. Bush seemed to be very unhappy, “Do you like this servant?”
“...”
“I know you have a lot of women outside...” Mrs. Bush stroked her belly gently and said, “Besides, I’m pregnant now, so I can’t accompany you.”
Crystal’s eyes dimmed. She felt very sympathetic to Mrs. Bush.
“But now you are home, you rarely come back to see me, can’t you accompany me more?”
Nathan said coldly, “I just asked her to try the dishes, what do you think?”
Mrs. Bush’s eyes lit up, “You just want to ask her to try the dishes?”
Crystal stared at him silently, “...”
The frustration on Mrs. Bush’s face was completely swept away by Nathan’s words, “I can try the dishes.”
“Are you a maid?”
“No...”
“Then shut up.”
Mrs. Bush was really afraid of making ‘Amos’ angry, so she had to reply indifferently, “Well, fine.”
Nathan looked at Crystal, his eyes seemed to say that Amos’ personality was like this.
“Sit here.”
Crystal frowned. If Amos’ personality were like this, Nathan would have been really the same as his father.
Under the eyes of everyone, Crystal had to sit beside Nathan to try the dishes.
As for Nathan, he indeed wasn’t reluctant to let Crystal stay hungry, “What are you still waiting for? Would you want me to pick the food for you personally?”
Nathan’s cold voice sounded beside Crystal, “Are you new here? Do I need to teach you the rules?”
When Crystal brought herself back to reality, Nathan had already put a piece of braised beef into her bowl, “Have a try.”
Crystal had no choice but to pick it up and eat it.
To be honest, this situation was too weird.
Eric was absent here. She and her beloved man ate with her legal mother-in-law. Their relationship couldn’t be messier.
Mrs. Bush asked, “How does it taste?”
“Yeah, it tastes pretty good.”
“Amos, you can eat now.”
Mrs. Bush took a piece of braised beef to Nathan, but he didn’t tend to take it.
Her hand stiffened in the air, then it retracted back. She had to take a bite alone, pretending to be satisfied...
Crystal felt a little bit sorry for Mrs. Bush, who was too humble in love.
No wonder the real Amos didn’t like her...
Then Nathan kept picking meat for Crystal and forced her to eat them with a fierce attitude.
Crystal stamped his foot under the table fiercely. This meal was so frightening that Crystal kept worrying if Mrs. Bush would see something wrong.
However, all of her attention was on Nathan.
After eating, Nathan was about to leave. But he was stopped by Mrs. Bush when he almost reached the door in a few strides. Mrs. Bush trotted over, stood on tiptoe, and tied the scarf around his neck.
“I knitted this for you.” Mrs. Bush pulled his overcoat, “I didn’t know how to do it at first. But I learned everything from you. I didn’t know how to cook before. But for you, I have also started to cook...”
“...”
“You said that you hate my cold face without a smile.” Mrs. Bush tried hard to raise her lips, “I will laugh more in the future.”
Nathan’s handsome face impatiently puckered. He just wanted to leave.
Mrs. Bush tugged his overcoat tight, “I can change everything you dislike about me. Why do you still become more and more alienated from me?”
When Crystal heard these words, her whole body froze. She wondered if she would also be so obedient like Mrs. Bush during her love relationship?
No matter how indifferent Nathan was, would she change herself to cater to him?
Crystal laughed in a low voice. She really couldn’t guarantee what would happen in the future, and she didn’t know whether she would still have her selfhood after she was completely in love.
Crystal suddenly got a mixed feeling. In the end, Mrs. Bush couldn’t keep Nathan, so she could only shout to his back, “Amos, remember to come to see our child and me.”
Her eyes became blurred. Then she said sadly, “I don’t expect you to marry me, and I don’t want any status. I don’t care about these things, but please, don’t abandon our child and me.”
Nathan finally replied with ‘hmm.”
“Amos.” Upon hearing his response, Mrs. Bush rushed towards him excitedly and suddenly wanted to kiss him.
Luckily, Nathan took precautions and threw her away in time.
Mrs. Bush’s lips brushed his chin while her body almost fell to the ground.
“Amos, when will you come to see me again?”
Nathan raised his hand, unbearably, “Send her into her room.”
Then two bodyguards put Mrs. Bush’s arm on one side and carried her into the room.
Nathan was covered with a chilling breath, rubbing his kissed chin with obvious impatience.
Vic went over and pulled the car door, looking at Crystal and saying, “Miss Smith...”
The servants had helped her put things in the boot, which was full, and some things had to be put in the back seat of the car.
Between Nathan and Crystal, they were full of big bags.
As the car drove forward, Crystal looked out the window in a daze.
Nathan asked in a soft voice, “What did you bring? Why are there so many?”
“Daily necessities.”
Crystal had originally wanted to take a few clothes with her, but later she thought Nathan came here with an exclusive car, so she took all her own things, including quilts, toiletries, and books.
However, she didn’t expect that there would be so many things in total, which felt a bit like moving.
Nathan opened one bag and saw the toiletries.
“Don’t bother, it’s all daily necessities.” Crystal had never noticed before that Nathan liked to rummage through other people’s things so casually.
Nathan raised his eyebrows, “Do you think I like to touch other people’s things?”
“Don’t you?”
“I am interested in everything related to you.” He had never been interested in anyone’s personal belongings.
“...”
“I want to know you more,” he squeezed his chin, “You always avoid me. If I don’t take the initiative, how can I walk into your heart and get close to you?”
