His Coy Lover

Charles, who came in later, said coldly, “If you dislike it, you can leave.”

“Elder brother, this is too simple. It lacks nutrition. Your body needs to replenish nutrients at all times.”

Lucas thought that Zelda’s breakfast was too simple. What kind of family was the Winston? When dining, the table would always be richly laid out.

As the head of the Winston family, the breakfast prepared for the elder brother in the main kitchen was the one with rich nutrition.

“I said, if you dislike it, you can go back to your side.”

Lucas dared not say anything more.

“I only prepared breakfast for Charles and myself. If the second young master stays, both my husband and I will have to eat half a bowl less to give you one. If the second young master dislikes it, you might as well not eat it. My husband and I can eat a little more.”

Lucas…

Well-deserved couple!

Zelda went back to the kitchen, scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Charles, and put a chicken leg in another bowl. She brought them out and placed them in Charles’s seat, then helped Charles to sit at the table, saying gently, “You’ll have the first bowl of soup and two chicken legs, one for you and one for my mother.”

Charles’s handsome face remained indifferent, but his lips curled slightly, indicating his current contentment.

She cleaned the thermos and poured the remaining chicken soup into it, scooping some chicken meat into the thermos as well. The rest of the chicken meat was put on a plate and brought out to Lucas. She said, “The second young master said my breakfast lacks nutrition. This plate of chicken meat is for the second young master. Please help me resolve it.”

Lucas wanted to refuse, but he received a sharp glance from his elder brother. With a strong desire to survive, he quickly lowered his head, picked up his chopsticks, and quickly ate a piece of chicken.

God knows how long it had been since he last ate chicken.

At the same time, in the main house.

Accompanied by her granddaughter, the old lady finished her breakfast and elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin. She gently asked Marry, who was serving beside her, “What time did Zelda come back last night? I told her to wait for me. Why didn’t she?”

She didn’t regard her old self highly enough.

Marry replied, “Madam, Zelda came back at ten o’clock last night. Originally, she wanted to wait for you to wake up, but the young master wanted a midnight snack, so Zack came to call her back.”

The old lady chuckled twice, “Charles is so protective of her. It’s just letting her stand by for one night, but she was in a hurry to find an excuse to call her back. Oh well, as long as Charles likes it.”

No matter how much she disliked Zelda, as long as Zelda could make her grandson happy and help him with his rehabilitation, she was useful. Giving Zelda some face and letting her live peacefully in the Winston mansion was enough.

When Charles was able to stand up again, it wouldn’t be too late to drive Zelda away.

When she sought Roscente’s proposal in the past and wanted to marry Zelda, it was because Charles was injured and unable to continue the family line. The high-class ladies in River Town society who used to be infatuated with Charles didn’t want to marry him now, so the old lady had no choice but to propose to the Roscente to marry Zelda.

If Charles recovered, Zelda wouldn’t even be worthy of helping him put on his shoes, let alone staying in the mansion.

“Maybe Zelda takes good care of the young master. I heard from Zack that Zelda is not afraid of the young master’s temper and has a thick skin.”

The old lady smiled, “Does that girl have thick skin?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“If she hadn’t caught Charles’s eye, no matter how thick her skin was, she wouldn’t have been able to stay.”

Marry nodded in agreement.

The young master had a particularly bad temper after the accident, and no one could stand it.

Zelda could stay not only because the young master wanted to play tricks on her, but also because, as the old lady said, there must be something about her that suited the young master’s taste, so she could stay a little longer.

“Nina, accompany grandma for a walk outside.”

The old lady changed the subject.

Nina obediently agreed, got up, and accompanied her grandmother out of the main house.

After wandering around the courtyard of the main house, the old lady said to her granddaughter, “Nina, shall we go visit your elder brother?”

“Will it disturb my elder brother’s rest?”

“Let’s go and see. If he’s resting, we’ll come back.”

Nina nodded repeatedly, “Okay.”

So, the grandmother and granddaughter headed towards Charles’s residence.
