"Your face doesn't look good. Are you uncomfortable?"
Shane slightly curled his thin lips. "Nothing, maybe I haven't gone out at night for a long time, I'm not used to being blown by the cold wind."
Bertha glanced at the leaves in the flower garden being blown by the wind, making rustling sounds. "It seems like it's a bit cold, so let's go in quickly."
Mr. Tabitha, Fawn, and Mrs. Jennifer were already waiting in the cafeteria.
Isobel sat down next to Fawn, and Bertha and Shane sat down next to each other.
Because Mr. Tabitha sat in the center, he did not touch the chopsticks, so everyone sat very seriously, but everyone had their thoughts.
Mr. Tabitha looked around at everyone, he finally stopped at Bertha, his mournful old face carried a satisfied smile.
"In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and my Bertha has grown up. Today, if Dante and Venn also return, and Venn brings his fiancee, our family will be completely reunited."
His words made the atmosphere in the dining room even more stagnant.
"Unfortunately, Dante's personality is strange. Up to now I still haven't seen his daughter-in-law. I'll probably have to help him find a woman for him in a few days."
Mr. Tabitha said, he sighed and lifted his chopsticks.
At this time, other people took up chopsticks.
Bertha didn't move, she looked towards Mr. Tabitha. "Father, you don't need to worry about your second brother's affairs for now. I see your second brother as a responsible person. Maybe in a short time, he will bring home a beautiful woman."
Last time Mrs. Darla said Olwen chased her second brother to S city, she didn't know how their progress was.
But there is still no news of Olwen returning to City X, so it seems things won't be bad.
"Really? Maybe Dante has noticed a certain girl."
Bertha laughed. 'I don't know how to say it, in general, just trust him."
Before Mr. Tabitha could say anything, Mrs. Jennifer laughed coldly and interjected. "Marriage is not a joke. If your second brother brings home a rustic, uneducated girl, then wouldn't Griselda's house become a joke to humanity?"
She let out a low laugh, deliberately pointing her spear at Bertha. "Do you think everyone is as spontaneous as you? Three years ago you insisted on marrying your ex-husband, he died, and now you just returned."
Except for Mr. Tabitha and Bertha, the remaining three immediately slammed their chopsticks on the table.
A loud sound rang out, causing Mrs. Jennifer to be so scared that her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became extremely serious.
The pressure dropped and mixed, somewhat scary, the few maids standing nearby waiting for orders were so scared that they retreated.
Fawn and his wife simultaneously raised their heads and glanced at Mrs. Jennifer.
Shane frowned, his face was cold, and his expression under the devil mask was extremely gloomy.
Mrs. Jennifer was scared, she was arrogant and regained her spirit.
"Why is everyone looking at me? What I said is the truth."
She wanted to say it in front of Shane to make it clear to him that Bertha was a dirty bitch.
Mr. Tabitha was a little lost, he coughed lightly twice. 'Eat, what are you talking about, shut your mouth, and eat."
In any case, her purpose of provocation had been achieved.
The eyes of Fawn, his wife, and Shane fell on Bertha sitting next to them.
She was eating silently, without any unnecessary expressions on her face, as if she hadn't heard what Mrs. Jennifer just said.
This was nothing like her usual stubborn personality.
Shane was a bit confused, he tried to put a piece of shiitake mushroom into her bowl that she didn't like. "This dish is very nutritious. The taste is not too bad. You have to eat a little more."
Bertha's hand holding the chopsticks instantly stopped.
In front of everyone, she said nothing, turned around, and glared at Shane.
Only Shane knew this glance, it was a warning, and it was obvious that she was controlling her anger.
She was angry inside and couldn't let her anger out. This was not her style.
Shane didn't know what she was thinking in her mind. He just knew that if he left the piece of shiitake mushroom she hated the most in her bowl, he might not be able to have peace at night.
So, he voluntarily picked up a piece of shiitake mushroom from her bowl and ate it himself.
At this moment, Bertha's face softened.
Mr. Tabitha saw this scene, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, no one knew what he was thinking.
The atmosphere is no longer happy.
Mr. Tabitha saw Shane put down his chopsticks, he smiled and asked. "Shane, does our chef make food that suits your taste?"
"It's not bad, I'm already full."
Mr. Tabitha also put her chopsticks down on the table. "I've had enough to eat, but I'm getting older and can't walk well. I want to go to the library and find some books to read. Can you help me push the wheelchair?"
This means he has something to say to Shane in private.
"Yes." Without hesitation, Shane stood up and walked behind Mr. Tabitha, he pushed the wheelchair for him.
Waiting for the two of them to leave, Mrs. Jennifer continued to speak. "Bertha, you are so lucky, you have been married once, but Shane doesn't compare and calculate, he is determined to marry you. You should thank Griselda's house more."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bertha picked up half a glass of juice from the table and threw it at her.
The juice splashed all over her body, even her hair was covered in water.
She rolled her eyes. "You dare throw a glass of water at me?"
