Chapter 12 Do Me a Favor
Do her a favor?
Claire actually took the initiative to talk about this matter. Last time, Claire opened her mouth, but she didn't tell him in detail. Later, because of the disturbance of the Mu Family, this matter was delayed. Now when it was brought up again, Henry felt interested.
Getting used to Henry's silence, Claire didn't take it seriously. She just spoke out her thoughts, "Here is the thing. My family is special. My mother has always been sick in bed, so I'm a little worried about her health. I'll go back to have a look and boil some medicine for her, okay?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Looking at the eager eyes of Claire, for some reason, Henry nodded in response. At the beginning, when Claire was about to tell Henry the direction, he changed the direction easily and moved towards the direction of Claire's house.
Claire couldn't help blinking her big clear eyes. She leaned forward curiously and then asked, "Henry, do you know where my home is?"
Henry didn't say anything, but his action proved that he knew it. About an hour later, he slowly turned off the engine and opened the door.
It had to be said that no matter where Henry went, he was always attractive. The seemingly ordinary action on him, but inexplicably made her feel throbbing. Staring at the back of Henry, for a moment, Claire was also distracted.
This place was a bit remote, and it was lucky that Henry could recognize it. After the man coughed slightly, Claire suddenly came to her senses. She smiled awkwardly, and then nodded repeatedly. "Wait a minute, Mr. Henry. I'll go in right now. The place may be a little shabby. I hope you don't take it to heart."
As she spoke, she squatted down and fumbled for the key in the corner. Looking at Claire's innocent action, for some reason, Henry's heart skipped a beat.
The moment she pushed the door open, a smile immediately appeared on her wrinkled face. With a smile on her lips, Claire greeted happily, "Mom, I'm back."
A man is heard before he is seen, it's talking about people like Claire.
Hearing Claire's cheerful voice, Shirley immediately showed a smile. While coughing, she struggled to stand up from the bedside and said, "Claire. Where have you been these two days? I'm so worried about you! You won't stay out all night... "
Shirley choked with sobs, her face full of worry. However, her frown didn't last long. She was frightened by the man behind Claire, who was called Henry. She knew who this man was!
Shirley stiffened and took a few steps back in a hurry. Then she pointed at Henry behind Claire with her trembling hand and said, "He... Why, why was he here? Claire, did you offend someone? "
Although Shirley's guess was right, what would she think if she knew that Claire had already married with Henry?
Claire smiled awkwardly and looked away unnaturally. She glanced at Henry and tried to dissuade her, "Mom, please sit down first. I'll explain it to you later. It's a long story. I remember there is a medicine at home. You might not have taken it if I didn't come back yesterday! I'll decoct the medicine for you right now. You can't delay your illness. Go back to the bed and have a good rest. "
Claire would show her face whenever she told a lie. At the moment, her panic made Shirley tighten her face even more. She knew her daughter best. In an instant, Shirley grabbed Claire's wrist, stared at Claire and asked, "What the hell is going on! If you don't explain it clearly today, you won't be able to enter the kitchen! "
As for the dispute between Claire and her mother, Henry walked aside indifferently as if he was watching a play, without much reaction.
Just as the two of them were arguing for it, there was a sudden plop behind them, instantly attracting the attention of the two people. At this moment, the arrogant Henry was falling to the ground, not as domineering as he used to be.
Henry's face darkened slightly. Then he pretended to be calm and stood up. He patted the dust on his body and pretended to be calm. "You... Go on. "
As he spoke, he turned his head away unnaturally, but his breath increased a little unconsciously. Facing all the small movements of Henry, Claire smiled softly, as if she had understood something. After comforting Shirley, and she claims she'll tell Shirley about it when she finishes taking the medicine.
Considering that Claire had always been a good girl, Shirley had to nod in agreement.
Soon enough, the faint smell of herbs came from the kitchen, while Henry was quietly lighting a cigarette outside. His face was rather complicated, and no one could understand what he was thinking about. What happened just now made Henry lose face.
Originally, he just wanted to lean against the chair for a little while, but he didn't expect that the seemingly old sofa was so fragile that it couldn't withstand the destruction. As soon as he sat down, it broke down. That was why the scene that Henry lost his face just now happened.
Half an hour later, Claire finished boiling the medicine. The two of them sat quietly at a short table, with their four eyes facing each other. No one knew what was on the other's mind. Henry, who didn't hear the noise, also turned around and walked in.
In fact, entering this house was also a big test for Henry. If he didn't sit down, his head would always hit the ceiling.
After Shirley took the medicine, she slowly turned her eyes to look at Henry. It was known to all that Claire and Henry were from two different worlds. It was a visual impact for her that they walk together at the moment. Shirley had never dreamed of looking at this excellent man so closely.
Knowing that she couldn't avoid this topic, Claire simply confessed, "Mom, he and I... I'm married to Henry."
As she spoke, Claire subconsciously swallowed. Her small hands stirred the corner of her clothes restlessly, and her face was full of bewilderment. As for Shirley, she looked in the direction of the man as if to confirm it. When Henry's chin was slightly lowered, Shirley suddenly chose to be silent.
Silence was the most deadly weapon. Claire's face was full of embarrassment, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
In the end, Claire couldn't stand such silence. She leaned forward and said in a spoiled tone, "Mom, in fact, he and I really love each other, so you can rest assured. We two really get along well, but we didn't inform you in time because of something unexpected that day. You know, Mr. Henry... Uh... No, it's just that Henry is very busy with his work and his identity is special, so we can't announce it openly, right? So, mom, don't be angry! "
While speaking, Claire even turned around and looked at the direction of Henry with a little flattery. At the same time, she nodded desperately and tried to make him nod. As long as Henry nodded, Shirley would believe him? After all, Henry was a strict man.
Although he didn't talk much, as long as he said it, it was certain!
It was not until then that Henry came to his senses and gave a sinister smile. Seeing that Claire was extremely uneasy, he shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be helpless. "Really? Didn't you say that you would give birth to a baby for me and ask me to marry you? Auntie, you have to take good care of your daughter. She has been scheming for so long to marry me... I don't think it's a good idea... Claire?"
As Henry spoke, his face leaned forward slightly, as if he was pointing at something. Claire's face flushed in an instant. Almost reflexively, she jumped up from the chair with a bang, and then pouted angrily, "what are you talking about! As I said, I didn't do it. I have a clear conscience! I never... "
Seeing the two arguing, Shirley's eyes were a little wet. She wiped her eyes slowly and persuaded in a low voice, "All right, all right. I know. I don't want to get involved in the matter of you young people, but Claire, remember, what I told you when I was young is all my conclusion. If you listen to me, it will be good. I won't hurt you I didn't have the chance to attend your wedding. Today I will cook some noodles. It's a small gift. "
Claire used to be like a kitten with its tail trampled. But when she heard Shirley's voice, she immediately withdrew her sharp claws and sat aside in an orderly manner, holding her breath. However, her red face was full of grievance.
"No, thanks. I still have..."
'I still have something to deal with in the company.' Before Henry could finish my words, Shirley had already turned around and walked into the kitchen. Perhaps it was because Shirley is deaf, she didn't hear what Henry said.
As soon as Shirley entered the kitchen, Claire's face darkened and looked plaintively at Henry...
