Chapter 103
Bary and Moira were left in the living room.
Moira felt guilty and avoided looking at Bary. Before she could figure out how to exin
everything, Bary asked, “Are you friends with the housekeeper now?”
Moira replied, “No, we are not.”
Bary did not reply to Moira. He sat down and gave Moira a meaningful look.
Moira quickly ced the te of watermelon and grapes before Bary, suggesting, “Have some
watermelon. It’s so sweet”
Bary chuckled when he observed Moira’s frantic attempts to please him with the watermelon
slices. However, the next second, he returned to his usual icy look and said, “I don’t like sweet
food.” He added inside, “Of course, except the sweet rabbit before me.”
Moira was shocked, thinking. ‘Should I change my wording and say the watermelon is only
mediocre sweet?”
Moira took a bite of watermelon and suddenly found a blind spot. She asked, “Mr. Covington, I hope
I’m not being too presumptuous, but can I ask you a question?”
Looking at Moira, Bary raised an eyebrow to signal his permission.
Moira asked, “Why did you ask the housekeep to buy the sweet watermelon and grapes since you
don’t like sweet food?”
She emphasized the word “sweet.” She did not mean to seek a fight but sincerely wanted to know
why.
Bary replied, “You may be misunderstanding.”
Noticing Moira was looking at him with confusion, Bary continued, “I didn’t ask the housekeeper
to buy the watermelon or grapes. She took the Initiative and prepared them.”
After that, he leaned casually toward the sofa and added, “Probably the housekeeper thought that
my Mrs. Covington likes sweet food and wanted to please you.”
There was nothing wrong with Bary’s expression. Although they were not a real couple, Moira
was his Mrs. Covington.
However, Moira felt inexplicably shy when she heard the words “my Mrs. Covington”e out of
Bary’s mouth, She raised a hand to touch her burning ear lobe and said, “Oh? Oh.”
She talked to herself, ‘It’s freakingly embarrassing. I should probably stop asking such questions.
Ahhhl‘
Moira took a break and thought of the poor Ms. Graham. With that, she pulled herself together and
asked, “You seemed not to like today’s lunch. Was it because the salmon schnitzel and fried
chicken were too sweet for you?”
Bary nced at Moira and replied, “I guess so?”
Moira was confused and asked, “What
mean when you said “I guess so“?”
Bary replied, “It means a yes, but not a resounding one.”
Moira cried, “What?” She thought, ‘Is Bary deliberately echoing my previous words to get back at
me?”
Moira finished the watermelon slice, letting out a quiet sigh. She suppressed her emotion and said,
“I asked Ms. Graham to prepare the lunch dishes.

think her cooking is quite good. Can you keep her?”
She stared at Bary carefully after she finished her words, fearing that Bary would fire Ms.
Graham with a “no.”
Bary looked into Moira’s round eyes and sensed a strong expectation. He could not say no to
those eyes, so he replied, “We can keep her since you like. her so much.
Moira was relieved and said sincerely, “Thank you.”
Bary replied, “Yeah.” He looked at Moira, his eyebrows twitching slightly. Then, he closed his
eyes and started his nap, thinking, ‘Pleasing her is just a piece of cake.
Moira thought, “Well, Bary is quite nice, although he may be a bit calcting sometimes.
To secure Ms. Graham’s job, Moira pulled up her thick skin and asked, “Mr. Covington, quick
question.”
Bary asked, “What question?” He opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on Moira.
Moira continued, “Since I’m your Mrs. Covington, do you think I should know more about what you
like and dislike?”
ira saw a smile appear on Bary’s face.
Moira had no idea which word was funny. Bary was amused and chuckled. Then, Moira saw a

Bary’s warm smile melted his icy expression, radiating like a sunflower in full bloom.
Staring at Bary, Moira felt her heart skipped a beat and her face burning. She eximed inside,
‘How enchanting he is!”
