The sight of her made Gina Sutton dig at her palm with her fingertips in the living room.
What made Gina even more anxious was that after Summer Sutton entered the house, she instinctively touched her stomach.
In fact, Summer was just a bit hungry. Since last night, she had only eaten a little midnight snack, and now her stomach was empty.
However, Gina clearly misunderstood.
The couple had gone out to enjoy some alone time, and upon returning, Summer had yet to lose the blush on her face. Gina interpreted Summer’s actions as a sign that she might be pregnant.
With Adrian’s fondness for her, it’s only a matter of time before Summer has a child.
Gina stared at Summer for a long while, her face somewhat pale.
Summer was truly famished now, so she headed to the dining room upon return.
The household staff treated her well; seeing her return, they went to prepare refreshments for her.
Summer sat quietly in the dining room, waiting.
The servant brought her a bowl of brewed medicinal soup along with several handmade desserts.
The soup was prepared daily whenever Summer was at home, meant to nurture her body, arranged by the Old Master, hoping Summer and Adrian would have their own child soon.
Gina turned her face to watch Summer, who was engrossed in her meal, and silently stared at her soup for a long time...
The next day, Gina, who had been waking up late due to her pregnancy, got up a bit early.
After going downstairs to the kitchen, she found the household staff preparing Summer’s usual soup.
"I’m so hungry, Aunt Lee, is there anything to eat?" Gina entered casually, looking around the kitchen, lifting lids here to sniff and there.
"Breakfast is almost ready. If Miss Sutton is hungry, I can give you a helping to tide you over."
Aunt Lee brought a portion of desserts and headed to the dining room.
Gina’s gaze followed Aunt Lee’s figure and, seeing her back turned, she swiftly lifted the lid of the pot of soup made for Emilia Sutton, silently and unnoticed sprinkled some red powder into it.
The soup prepared by Aunt Lee was medicinal, with more than a dozen herbs, making it rich in color.
The powder quickly dissolved into the soup.
Gina clapped her hands, as if nothing happened, and went out to have her own breakfast.
"I don’t know why, but I’ve been waking up early lately." After sitting down, she chatted casually with Aunt Lee.
"Perhaps Miss Sutton is not quite accustomed to living here yet," Aunt Lee said. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoveIꜰire.net
"I agree," Gina smiled lightly.
After quietly finishing her breakfast, she returned upstairs.
Summer came downstairs at eight-thirty.
In a rush to get to her class, she didn’t plan to have breakfast, but Aunt Lee called her over, "Young Madam, even if you’re in a hurry, you must eat breakfast. You’re still young, but you must take care of your stomach."
She meant well, so Summer reluctantly sat back at the dining table.
After nibbling a little, she grabbed her books and headed out. "I’m out of time, I have to go now!"
Aunt Lee glanced at the soup on the table and reminded her, "The soup, the soup hasn’t been drunk yet!"
Summer seemed not to hear and dashed out of the Walyon Family’s gate.
Adrian was waiting outside the gate for her.
He mentioned Summer hadn’t eaten breakfast properly, and prepared a cake and a bottle of yogurt in the car.
