"Thank you." Hera happened to be hungry, so she stepped back and let Christopher push the dining trolley into the room.
"You're welcome. Please don't take Mary's matter to heart. We didn't mean anything else. Jane has always been snobbish and caused a misunderstanding this afternoon. I apologize for the offense."
Alice stepped into the room and placed the dishes on the table.
Hera didn't mind what she said and casually tied up her wet hair with a towel.
Christopher's cheeks heated up when he saw her slender neck exposed. It was the first time he saw her right after she took a bath. He felt nervous.
"Mom, let's not disturb Hera. Let's go," he said to Alice.
After that, he took the initiative to push the dining trolley out.
Alice noticed his ears had reddened and was pleased. Her bookworm son had finally become interested in love and stopped focusing so much on his studies.
She wanted to stay with Hera, so she asked Christopher to go out first.
Hera had no idea what they were thinking. After washing her hands, she sat down to eat.
She wasn't used to talking while eating, so her manners made her appear elegant. The longer Alice looked at her, the more she liked her.
After Hera finished eating, Alice asked, "Hera, what do you think of Chris?"
Hera wiped her mouth with a napkin and remarked, "He's good, but sexual orientation isn't a disease. I can't cure him."
Alice was confused. She couldn't understand what Hera meant.
Right then, someone knocked on the door again.
