Yvonne seemed a little disappointed too.
She was already hugging Sean, but there was no reaction on Eli’s face, as though she hadn’t seen it at all.
On the other hand, no one discovered that Sean was jealous, but she did. Things were going far from her expectations.
Natasha soon came out of the kitchen. The chef made a lot of delicious food.
Eli knew that Reba was not against her anymore.
She was already hungry. She stretched her head out and tried to see the food that wasing over.
Sean nced at her. His eyes were filled with affection, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Yvonne clenched her fists and changed the subject. She said, “The New Year ising. Reba, are you going back to M Country, or are you going to spend the New Year with us?”Original from N?velDrama.Org.
Reba said sweetly, “I still don’t know what New Years’ in A Country is like. Besides, it’s meaningless to stay at home when my sister is not with me.”
“Well, you could spend New Years’ with us this year. After that, I’ll send you back to M Country. I should also pay Mom and Dad a visitsince I wasn’t backst year,” Yvonne looked at Sean and saiddeliberatelyin front of Eli, “Sean, when should we go back to M Country?”
“Well, we could go back after I’m done dealing with the foreign affairs,” Sean said coldly.
“You two are so loving,I’m so envious.I will be contented ifmy future husband is half as good as my brother-inw,” When Reba said this, she deliberately nced at Eli.
Eli also looked at Reba.
It seemed that Reba knew about her rtionship with Sean.
Loving?
These two sisters were both drama queens. Were they deliberately putting on a show for Bemy? What was their purpose? Were they hoping that Bemy would be half as good as Sean?
Eli couldn’t understand nor did shewant to think about it. She would rather just focus on the meal.
Reba saw that Eli was still unfazed and she continued to say, “Yvonne, when will you and Sean have a child?”
“Reba, stop it,” Yvonne chided softly.
“Why? You have been married for so long. Mom and Dad must have been urging you,” Reba said.
“That’s true,” Sean nodded thoughtfully. “Maybe I won’t go back this year,I am afraid that they would start nagging me.”
“They won’t. Reba is just talking nonsense. Sean, I know that beefsagna is your favorite, and I know that you like cheese too, so I’ve asked the kitchen to add extrayers of mozzare cheese. Would you like to try it?” Yvonne scooped a spoonful ofsagna onto his te.
After listening to what Yvonne said, Eli wanted to eat it as well, hence, she scooped somesagna for herself and took a bite.
And itwas indeed delicious. She thought of asking Ste toe over and have a taste of it one day.
Bemy looked at Eli.
She ate happily without a care.
Bemy smiled faintly. It was no wonder that Sean liked her. She seemed quiteamazing. People couldn’t help but want to know more about her. They would then realize that she was like a bottomless pit, prompting them to explore even more.
Eli noticed that Bemy was looking at her, hence, she turned to look at him too.
His face looked just like Jasper’s, but they gave a different kind of vibe.
She and Jasper had also eaten together before. He was as cold as ice, and just a look from him would make others stay on their toes.
Bemy didn’t have that kind of temperament.
“There are still plenty,please help yourself,” Eli’s eyes darted towards the te.
Bemy chuckled. “I’ll give it a try then.”
He also scooped up somesagna onto his te.Sean’s face turned a little pale.
Didn’t she promise not to look at him?
She was even talking to him now.
Her hands were on the table, so Sean couldn’t touch her. Therefore, he stepped on her feet.
Eli winced in pain and looked at Sean.
“Miss Wayne, please pour me a ss of wine,” Sean said coldly.
Eli raised her eyebrows. He could just say it out loudif he wanted her to pour him a ss of wine. Why did he have to step on her feet?
She didn’t want to show her anger in front of the outsiders. Hence, she stood up nimbly, took a bottle of red wine, and poured it for Sean.
“Why don’t you pour some for me as well?” Bemy said.
Sean took the bottle of red wine from Eli’s hand and said, “You’re driving,so you’d better not drink.”
Bemy couldn’t help but smile as though he had seen through everything.
Sean was young. In fact, he was the youngest president in the history of A country.
His strategies and shrewdness were even more powerful than his father’s.Word had it that he was invincible and undefeatable.
He knew that Sean’s only weakness was Eli.
“I’ll drink just a little. It will be fine,” Bemy said.
Sean poured him a ss of red winepersonally.“Thank you for your hard work. I’m sorry that you couldn’t even rx over the holidays.”
“It’s my duty. New Year is just a formality. Every day is New Year as long as I’m with my family.”
Eli’s heart was a little touched.
Her parents were no longer in this world. She looked at Sean.His parents were also no longer in this world too.
She felt her heart wavering as she lowered her left hand and hooked his little finger with hers.
Sean took her hand in a sh.
His palm was warm, which made her feel particrly homely. She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and smiled.
Sean looked at her, and the corner of his mouth also slightly raised, sweeping away all the unhappiness that had just been there.
Eli listened to them chatting casually, from the New Years’ to political figures, to investment, and then to the livelihood of the people. She did not say a word but just ate the food with her head lowered.
Soon, she was full. She had nothing to do now,but it was not convenient for her to join in on their conversation. She picked up a piece of fish and yed with it, absent-mindedly looking for some fishbones.
Sean shook her hand and said to her, “Miss Wayne, I’d just recalled. Please go to my study and print out the documents that I had ordered you to print in the afternoon.I want it in two hours.”
Eli paused.
Sean hadn’t asked her to print anything at all.
His lower chin motioned in the direction of her room.
She understood immediately. Sean knew that she was bored, hence, he found a reason to let her rest.
“Okay, I’ll do it now, Eli said and quickly got up from her seat, running upstairs.
Bemy put down his spoon and said, “I’m full too. Mr. President, you still have work to do, soI should probably leave.”
“Alright.Contact me immediately if there are any problems in B Country. I’ll have your back,” Sean said.
Bemy nodded.
Reba also stood up immediately and said, “Bemy, let’s go to the movies together. I heard that the movie ‘Bounty Hunter’ is pretty good.”
“It’s fine, I still have a lot of work to do tomorrow. I have to go back to deal with it tonight,” Bemy nodded and left.
Yvonne couldn’t keep her face straight. She had told Sean before that he was Reba’s boyfriend.
The reason she had done this was that she knew Sean needed talents. She wanted to use Reba to win him over. On one hand, it could please Sean, on the other hand, it highlighted the importance of the Harington family.
She didn’t expect that Bemy would deny her of such an opportunity.
She looked at Bemy and said, “I’m sorry for my ignorance. You’re right.”
Sean patted Yvonne on the shoulder and said, “There’s no hurry.I’ll go back to work in the study first.”
“Mm,” Yvonne nodded gently. She saw that the room Sean had entered was not the study, but Eli’s room.
Yvonne lowered her eyes to hide the jealousy in them.
Staring at her, Natasha raised a smilethoughtfully…
