Mariam’s words, however, gave her all the credit, which made Minnie even more ashamed.
What was she gonna do? How was she gonna answer that?
Eden almost clapped for his mother.
Although she said it because she didn’t know the inside story, Eden saw Minnie’s expression and was particularly comfortable.
He pursed his lips, and, not wanting to upset Minnie, said directly to Mariam, “Mom, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”
“I’m worried about you. I made some soup and came over to see you. You don’t live at home, so I can’t take care of you here, but it seems that I don’t need to worried no one takes care of you now,” Mariam said.
Eden saw that Mariam had really misunderstood her, so he said, “It’s good that you’re here. You can come over and judge. I told her that she put too much soy sauce in, but she didn’t believe me. Come and take a look. Which one of us is wrong?”
Eden pulled Mariam over to judge between him and Minnie.
Just now, the two of them had argued about soy sauce no less than three times.
Minnie always put soy sauce in whatever she cooked.
Eden didn’t know how to cook, but he knew soy sauce wasn’t the way to go.
Now, since there was a third person, she can made a judgement.
Minnie, on the other hand, was a total wreck.
Eden was simply doing too much. Her shortcoming was completely exposed to Mariam.
Minnie could almost feel that she was going to be embarrassed.
However, to Minnie’s complete surprise, Mariam took a look at the food in the pot and immediately said, “I don’t think she put too much on it. I think it’s pretty good. Look at the color. How beautiful is it? It smells good too. I’m sure it tastes good too.”
Minnie was struck dumb while Eden was quite confused.
Minnie’s face was almost red. She was really grateful that Mariam would say that, but felt even more guilty.
She was really bad at cooking.
Eden almost laughed at his mother by anger.
“Mom,” he said, “Nothing hasn’t even happened yet. Is it okay for you to be so biased?”
Mariam glared at him and said, “Is it inappropriate? I think it’s appropriate.”
Yeah, well, was she his mother?
She was right about everything.
The conversation between Eden and Mariam made Minnie feel even more embarrassed. Why did it sound so flirtatious to her?
Especially Eden’s words.
She wanted to ask, “What’s going on? What does that mean by ‘nothing hasn’t even happened yet’?”
What did he want?
What else can they do?
In addition, Eden’s “biased” directly set the tone of the dialogue to be very ambiguous.
Minnie even wondered if they were talking about other people, not about her.
Mariam didn’t bother to pay any attention to her son, so she took Minnie’s hand directly and said,
“Minnie, it’s really hard for you to take care of this bastard, so when you two are free, go home and have dinner together. I will cook for you myself.”
Minnie just felt that the direction of the development became more and more strange, and she was already a little confused about what Mariam and Eden meant.
She had no way to back down, which made her feel bad.
In particular, facing Mariam’s enthusiasm and intimacy, Minnie felt even more at a loss.
It had been a long time since she had such an intimate relationship with her elder.
This kind of contact made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Minnie subconsciously went to ask Eden for help, but met his gentle eyes.
Minnie naturally thought that did she see it wrong? How could she see such a look in Eden’s eyes?
This was simply too strange.
This gaze was only for a moment, and soon, Eden looked away.
He hooked Mariam’s shoulder and said, “Mom, don’t scare her.”
Mariam glared at Eden when she heard that, but was very happy to hear him say that.
This bastard, did he know how to protect her?
It also made her feel very happy.
Eden didn’t know what his mother was thinking, just just felt that there was a weird feeling in her eyes when she looked at him.
His instinct made Eden think that the best way now was to let his mother leave as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Minnie might really feel uncomfortable because she was here.
However, before Eden could speak, Mariam said first, “Ah, I remember I have something to do. I have to go first. I put the soup on the table. You can pour it out later and drink it.”
After finishing speaking, Mariam looked at Minnie again and said, “Minnie, you’re welcome to my home when you are free. You can chat with me, go shopping. I’ll wait for you.”
Minnie had no way to refuse Mariam’s invitation, so she could only exchange contact information with her obediently, and then sent her away with Eden.
When the door closed, Eden turned his head to look at Minnie and asked, “My mother is here, making you uncomfortable?”
Minnie didn’t hide it and said, “I’m not used to it with elders around, and I can’t control my nervousness.”
Eden didn’t know that she had this problem, and said after hearing the words, “However, you can treat my mother not as an elder, but as your friend.”
As Minnie heard this, she watched Eden in disbelief. In Minnie’s view, this was simply impossible. She just wanted to stay away from the elders.
However, the feeling Mariam gave her was not as oppressive as those elders before.
This really surprised Minnie, but she was also terrified.
Eden didn’t say anything more, but said, “Okay, if you don’t want to contact my mother, you don’t have to, and she won’t make things difficult for you. The most important thing now is what about this dish?”
Just now Minnie turned off the fire. Now Eden was not sure whether this dish can still be eaten.
Minnie finally remembered that there was such a thing as the dish.
She looked at Eden, then at the food in the pot, and said, “I can cook it for a while, and it should be edible. Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.”
Although she was bad at cooking, she was still very confident.
Eden didn’t say anything more, but motioned her to continue.
Minnie turned the fire on, and suddenly felt that she really put too much soy sauce.
She looked at Eden and said, “Why don’t I try adding some water?”
To tone down the flavor of the soy sauce a bit?
Eden was speechless.
Was this a little naive?
Eden said, “Forget it. I’m a little hungry.”
Minnie heard it and quickened her movement unconsciously.
She said, “Why don’t you sit down first? I’ll be done soon.”
Eden did not continue to stay in the kitchen at this moment, but went out to deal with his own business.
By the way, he took a look at his phone.
Sure enough, he had seen dozens of messages from his mother.
There was a series of excited emoji.
After that, there was a series of voice messages that couldn’t hide her excitement. Eden didn’t need to tap on it, but he could already guess what his mother said.
Squeezing the space between his brows with a headache, Eden tapped on the family chat group. Sure enough, his dear mother had already spread the word about Minnie’s stay in his house, and now it had even been discussed in the group what should their child’s name be.
Eden didn’t dare to send messages in the group at this time. Otherwise, he can guarantee that he will be torn to pieces as soon as he appeared.
Tuning the phone off, Eden felt he got a serious headache.
He hadn’t won her heart yet, and didn’t know if he can succeed, but everyone in his family had known about it.
If he didn’t succeed, he will have to be wiped out by those terrible “creatures” in his family.
Just thinking about it gave Eden a headache.
He went back to the kitchen just in time for Minnie to bring out the last dish.
Eden walked over, picked up the dishes, and walked to the dinning room.
Minnie came over with two other dishes, and when Eden turned around, he saw her beside him.
This feeling was so wonderful that Eden even had a doubt whether the two of them had already started to live together.
As soon as the words “live together” popped into his mind, Eden had a strange feeling.
