Mio Osborne’s ho.
Mrs. Osborne noticed that the two of them hadn’t returned after buying a bottle of ketchup and couldn’t help but feel worried.
"I hope nothing happened. I should call to check on them."
"What are you thinking? Get a grip." Mrs. Woodward laughed and said, "Young people these days don’t like eating at ho. Maybe they just stumbled upon a restaurant they like while they were out. Let’s not bother about them, we’ll eat on our own."
Hearing this, Mrs. Osborne quickly put down her phone.
"You’re right, I almost interrupted them."
...
Sumr Monroe and her group soon arrived at their destination.
When Mio Osborne walked into Sumr Monroe’s ho and saw the simple decor, the displeasure in his heart began to ease a little.
"Holly, could you pour so tea for Professor Osborne and them? I’m going to prepare the vegetables."
"Sure." Holly Holloway mustered up the courage to pour the water.
Claire Woodward took a sip and then stood up, saying, "You are guests too, you don’t need to help out. I know how to cook; I’ll go help Sumr."
She spoke and walked towards the kitchen.
The kitchen was very small, and Claire was used to an open kitchen at ho, so walking in felt like the air got cramped.
Claire suppressed her discomfort and stepped forward, saying, "Sumr, let help you wash the vegetables."
"No need, you’re a guest, go sit down."
"It’s fine, I’m used to being busy at the hospital and can’t sit still."
Claire was enthusiastic, so Sumr couldn’t refuse and had to say, "Then you can help wash the bok choy."
"Sure." Claire imdiately got to work.
Halfway through washing the vegetables, Claire glanced at Sumr out of the corner of her eye and brought up what shouldn’t be ntioned, asking with great concern, "Sumr, living alone after being kicked out by your family must be tough, right?"
Sumr’s hand paused, and the kindness in her eyes faded.
Her keen awareness allowed her to realize that Claire was not as easygoing as she seed on the surface.
She said flatly, "It’s not tough."
Claire lowered her eyes with a smile and said, "Going from a pampered young lady to living alone in a place like this, how could it not be tough? Don’t put on a brave face, if you ever encounter difficulties, you can co to or Professor Osborne."
"Thank you." Sumr’s voice beca calr.
Claire continued, "Actually, you all misunderstood. Today is the first ti I’ve t Professor Osborne. Our mothers are longti friends, and I’m just friends with him, so I’m not your teacher’s wife."
"Okay." Sumr nodded slightly, not caring about Claire’s relationship with Mio Osborne.
Claire was smart and could tell from Sumr’s tone that she had no feelings for Mio Osborne.
So, Mio Osborne has a one-sided love?
She definitely needed to help Mio Osborne.
"By the way." Claire rembered about the pacemaker robots and said, "I haven’t thanked you for donating ten pacemaker robots to our hospital. They’re not cheap, and S Group is quite peculiar, selling things depends on luck. How did you manage to buy them? And in one go, you got ten."
Sumr responded while chopping at, "A friend helped, by chance they know the owner of S Group."
"Really?" Claire glanced at Ronan Kingston sitting outside and asked, "Did the young master of the Kingston Family help you?"
Sumr hesitated for a mont, then nodded, "Yes."
"That explains it."
She knew that Sumr couldn’t possibly buy ten pacemaker robots by herself; there had to be soone backing her up.
She even suspected that Damian Knight might have helped, but now that she got the answer, she felt much more relieved.
