Chapter 443
Chapter 443 Family
I admit that I had some misunderstandings about Joe before, whether it was thinking that he would manipulate his younger brother Aaron or feeling that he had inappropriate feelings for Aaron. In any case, my interactions with him were biased
Even in the following days, I constantly showed concern for him, but it was actually driven by a desire to keep him away from my husband. It can be said that my so-called care was actually impure in its intentions
This led to a strange and awkward feeling when I faced Joe again after hearing the truth about the situation. Especially when the other person didn't know where this awkward feeling came
from, I felt even more ridiculous about everything I had done before
So I decided to keep a certain distance from Joe starting from now
Although he, like Aaron, was an innocent child in this family, to be honest, he received more emotionally. What I mean 1s... maybe I didn't need to approach him with pity and sympathy as I had previously imagined
But when I put my inner plans into practice, I found that something seemed different
After dinner that day, Joe went to the study as usual to deal with the emails left over from the day. As he passed by me, he casually mentioned that he wanted hot cocoa today
I was stunned for a moment, but then I realized
that it must have been my recent behavior that had formed such a habit in him. So I just smiled and turned to call the maid, "Give the young master a cup of hot cocoa and send it to the study."
After I finished speaking, I nodded at Joe, but his expression seemed to freeze for a moment, and then he emitted an air of displeasure, without saying anything else to me, he turned and went upstairs
So, just now, wasn't it his own decision to drink hot cocoa?
This inexplicable temper is quite similar to the previous Aaron
I watched Joe's departing figure and couldn't think of anything I had done to offend him just now
However, I didn't let this little incident bother me, and I continued to treat the days I stayed at Morris' house as a short vacation
Molly and Jasmin have recently become familiar with both the nanny and their grandparents
They no longer cry loudly when I am not in their line of sight, which has also given me a lot more free time

So I began to immerse myself in reading books that I hadn't had time to read before, and even reorganizing research papers that I had planned to start years ago. It can be said that the days I spent living at Morris' house were not as bad as I had imagined
The atmosphere of this home also gradually became somewhat warm, as both little ones became familiar with the environment
It used to be almost impossible to see all the members of the Morris family sitting on the couch together watching TV after dinner. But ever since Molly started clinging to her grandfather and gesturing for her father to join them, this scene surprisingly happened three times within a week
Even Joe, who always used the excuse of being busy with work, gave up on his plan to go upstairs when we were all in the living room
And of course, after that day, he never instructed me again to prepare drinks for him
Instead, he took matters into his own hands and made coffee for everyone several times
When I took the hot latte from Joe for the fourth time and still politely said thank you, he finally glanced at me and, while stuffing the fruits from the fruit plate into Jasmin's baby food bag, said in a deep voice, "We're family, no need to be so
polite."
Joe's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone sitting on the couch to hear
Mrs. Grace's gaze fell on her son, seemingly hesitant to speak. However, Mr. Morris, on the other hand, cheerfully looked at him and said, "No wonder many people look forward to the birth of the next generation. After our family had two little girls, even their uncle, who never did any housework, started preparing fruits for them."
"Yes, it was also the first time I heard Joe mention the term 'family'," Mrs. Grace continued, following Mr. Morris' words, and unsurprisingly shifted the conversation to Joe's marriage. "In theory, your brother's daughter should already be eating fruits, and your brother should have been married long ago. Joe, when
will you bring your girlfriend to introduce her to us?"
Joe's hand paused for a moment, and I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination, but there was a fleeting avoidance in his eyes as he glanced at me and Aaron. Then, he coughed lightly and asked his mother to stop speaking further, saying, "Stop assuming people who don't exist, mom, but if there are any, I will naturally introduce them to you."
After he finished speaking, as if afraid that MrsBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Grace would continue to ask, he immediately picked up the empty fruit plate and walked quickly towards the kitchen
