147 Capable Woman (1/2)
”These are the correct glasses, right?”
Of course she knew they were but she wanted to make small talk. Anything to keep the conversation going.
”Yes. Thank you.” He replied politely.
Isabella's eyes brightened, ”I totally forgot the weather is pretty cold tonight, we can't drink this water. Let's boil water for drinking.” She suggested but she had already made her way to boil the water.
Carl nodded, ”You're right, I totally forgot about that.”
Internally Isabella was praising her IQ. Simple ways to impress her crush… She was friends with his family already, she proved herself humble, caring and attentive.
She was indeed a capable woman.
He briskly followed after her, ”Why don't you have a seat? I can't have you boiling water on your first stay here.”
”It's no problem, I and Kim are close friends so it doesn't matter.”
Bella could not help but smile, who knew she could easily speak to him like this?
”No, no, that won't do, not only that but also your brother won't be pleased if he finds out I let you do that.” Carl smiled wryly.
Bella giggled, ”Not if you tell. In addition, it's just water. Or we could take ordinary water.”
”Yeah, you're right… I don't know why I didn't think of that.”
”Didn't think of what?” Kim inquired as she walked into the kitchen.
Carl went along to explain, ”It's too cold to drink water from the fridge and I totally forgot about that. I was about boiling water too, forgetting about ordinary water. Or perhaps, you prefer the warm water?”
Kim returned to the dinning table while speaking, ”I'm fine with anything and I just had a hot bath so it shouldn't matter. But Bella only changed so she might catch a cold.”
”I like cold water!” Isabella announced.
”In that case, there's no need for that, let's eat.” They both made their way to the table.
After eating three spoonful, Kim spoke up, ”It tastes quite different. Did you employ someone new?”
”No, Aunt's not feeling fine, the food was cooked by her daughter.”
Kim raised her eyebrow, ”Aunt's daughter cooked here?”
For some reason Carl did not like where the conversation was heading. So he quickly tried to appease her, ”If you don't like it, I can cook something else.”
Kim totally ignored his suggestion, ”So aunt's daughter cooked here…” she repeated calmly, this time with an affirmative tone.
The oblivious Isabella commented, ”It's quite tasty.”
She was focused on her food therefore she did not notice the tension between her crush and his sister.
”Cough, cough.” Carl was seemingly choking on nothing.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
Isabella promptly raised her head then passed him her glass of water.
He had already received the glass when he recalled it wasn't his.
He dropped the glass before rubbing his chest, he said, ”Thank you.”
Kim briefly glanced at him before averting her gaze.
