Clarissa didn’t continue her previous words, but instead smiled at Kai Bright.
Kai Bright, filled with admiration, tugged on Clarissa’s sleeve and said, "Aunt, you’re really brave."
People who are on good terms with Charles Seymour also call him that, but definitely not with the intimacy of Clarissa.
After all, no matter how close you get with Charles Seymour, there’s still a feeling of distance.
It’s like being friends with a fierce beast; you’ll occasionally be instinctively scared of its claws and fangs, right?
"He’s very fond of Sophie. I’m Sophie’s friend from another generation, so I’m naturally his elder." Clarissa’s explanation left Kai Bright speechless for a moment.
He knew his aunt sees people thoroughly and didn’t expect she’d so quickly find the balance in interacting with Charles Seymour.
Isn’t it so? Whenever Sophie Wilson is involved, Charles Seymour is absolutely willing to compromise unconditionally.
"If you’re here and nothing’s urgent, don’t leave. Have dinner at Aunt’s house tonight," Clarissa said with a smile, "Look at you, you’ve lost so much weight after going out."
"Aunt is the best." Having a relative who cares, Kai Bright’s little heart finally found comfort after being struck at noon.
The two chatted casually, and Clarissa went to the kitchen to make a dessert for Kai Bright.
"Aunt’s cooking is still the best," Kai Bright happily took a big scoop of mango pomelo sago into his mouth.
"By the way, Charles said I’m Sophie’s elder from now on. Why do I feel like there’s another meaning to those words?" Clarissa suddenly remembered her doubt, asking curiously.
The delicious mango pomelo sago sprayed out from Kai Bright’s mouth.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Kai Bright turned his face to the side, avoiding getting it on Clarissa.
"What’s wrong with you, child?" Clarissa didn’t mind the mess and went over to pat Kai Bright’s back, who was coughing continuously, to help him catch his breath. "Got choked? Just cough it up."
"I’m... I’m fine..." Kai Bright finally stopped coughing, waved his hand, and took the tissue Clarissa handed him to wipe his mouth.
"Alright, go eat in the living room. I’ll have the maid clean this up," Clarissa said.
"It’s nothing, Aunt, you’re overthinking. He didn’t mean anything by it," Kai Bright explained hurriedly after moving to the living room.
Those words... Even a fool wouldn’t believe them.
Clarissa rolled her eyes at Kai Bright. If there was no other meaning, why did he react so strongly?
However, she knew Kai Bright would never harm her, so if there’s no meaning, then there’s no meaning.
She decided not to ask anymore.
Of course, Kai Bright could see his aunt’s expression, but he would never say it.
Should he tell his aunt that Charles was reminding her of her identity, not to have any improper thoughts about Sophie?
Saying that, wouldn’t his aunt just go crazy with anger?
This wasn’t something normal people could come up with.
But, someone in love... really isn’t normal, practically a lunatic.
"Go take a nap," Charles Seymour said directly upon entering the house.
"Okay." Sophie Wilson nodded, then suddenly stopped and turned, smiling at Charles with a look full of knowing his cunning.
"What?" Charles asked, puzzled.
"Did you deliberately tell Aunt Taylor to take a good rest, indirectly reminding her that it should be over, just so I would come back to nap?" Sophie asked with a mischievous smile.
