Chapter 1151


    "I''m fine, really," Hertha insisted, trying her best to im her stay in the guest room. If it hadn''t been for


    her clothes getting soaked, she wouldn''t be in this predicament. She had put her clothes to the washing


    machine, hoping to slip back into them once they were finished and head home.


    "Oh, sweetheart, don''t overthink it. Just bunk down in ric''s room for the night. I''ve got milk for you


    two. Have some and get to bed early. The air conditioning in the living room was cranked up too high


    earlier. I don''t want you getting heatstroke." Beatrice said with a warm smile.


    Bncing a ss of milk in each hand, she handed one to Hertha. "Here you go, drink up. It''ll take the


    edge off the heat."


    Hertha felt awkward refusing Beatrice''s kindness, especially since she had gone out of her way to bring


    it over personally. It would seem quite rude to reject her offer.


    Besides, even after a shower, Hertha still felt a bit overheated, probably from the air conditioning being


    set too high. The shower had done little to cool her down.


    Maybe the milk would help.


    "Thanks," Hertha epted the milk from Beatrice and drank down.


    Seeing her finish, Beatrice''s smile grew even brighter. She took the empty ss and handed Hertha


    the other one, "This one''s for ric. He''s beenining about the heat too."


    Hertha had initially nned to leave and avoid ric, but Beatrice''s words put her in a tight spot. If she


    refused, it might raise suspicions about her and ric not being a genuine couple.


    Caught between a rock and a hard ce, Hertha reluctantly took the second ss with a smile,


    "Alright, I''ll take it to him."


    "That''s my girl. Now you both get some rest. I''ll close the door for you," Beatrice said, beaming as she


    watched Hertha head back into the room.


    Hertha felt like she was walking into the lion''s den, and it was toote for a getaway.


    Biting the bullet, she continued the charade with ric.


    Back at ric''s side with a ss of milk, her smile vanished in front of him. She said irritably, "Here,

    your grandma''s looking out for you. Drink up, will you?"


    She extended her hand, offering him the ss.


    ric nced at it and frowned. "What''s this?"


    "Milk. I just had a ss, and it really cools me down. It''s quite relieving," Hertha exined.


    Hearing Hertha say the milk could soothe the heat, he didn''t think twice. He took the ss from her


    hands and gulped it down. Content of Draм??ovels
