Chapter 66
Sitting at the table and looking at the dishes, Cynthia couldn’t help asking, “Grandpa, grandma, haven’t you eaten either?”
“Yes, your grandma insisted on waiting for you.” David had never had dinner so late since he retired. He was already starving.
When David was about to eat, Jasmine knocked on him again. Then Jasmine ordered, “Winnie, tell Liam that Cynthia has woken up and ask him to come downstairs for dinner.”
Then Jasmine went to the kitchen with a smile.
Cynthia checked the time, and it was already eight o’clock. she felt a little sorry to have two elders wait for her when they were hungry.
After a while, Liam came downstairs, and Jasmine came with two bowls of black soup.
When Liam saw the soup, he frowned.
He sat down next to Cynthia and blurted out, “I’ve told you not to cook these things in the future. It may not be healthy to eat.”
Every time Jasmine came back a few years ago, she wondered if there was something wrong with Liam’s health and cooked this kind of black soup for him.
Now, Liam had developed a serious conditioned reflex to this kind of soup.
Knowing her grandson’s character, Jasmine didn’t care.
She put each bowl of them in front of Cynthia and Liam and she said, “Drink it while it’s hot, or it won’t work.”
Liam didn’t move, so Jasmine kept staring at him.
In the end, unable to resist the stubborn old lady, he could only pick it up and drink it all in one gulp.
Then it was Cynthia’s turn.
Cynthia had learned both poison and medicine during her time on the border. With just a sniff, she knew what kind
of herbs were in the bowl.
The herbs were well combined, but the taste was really disappointing.
Cynthia had been struggling in her mind for a long time. When she was about to drink it, a hand suddenly grabbed
Don’t drink it.” Liam moved so fast that Jasmine was stunned for a few seconds.
When Jasmine realized it, she directly slapped Liam on the back.
Jasmine said angrily, “You brat, this is for women, but you are a man. Aren’t you afraid of changing into a woman?”
Liam said helplessly, “Grandma, let me suffer it for her.”
“How can you say that? It took me several hours to cook it. That’s for your own good,” Jasmine retorted.
Jasmine was so angry, but she could do nothing since Liam had finished it.
She glared at his grandson in disgust and sat on the other side of Cynthia.
“Cynthia, I’ll cook for you next time,” Jasmine said.
“At least today I don’t have to drink it,’ Cynthia thought and responded to Jasmine with a polite smile. They began to eat.
All of a sudden, something occurred to Cynthia. She said, “Grandma, if it’s so late next time, you don’t have to wait for me.”
“Alright.” knowing that Cynthia was sensible, Jasmine smiled and turned to look at her grandson. Then she said in disgust, “It’s all this boy’s fault. He doesn’t control himself. I’m worried about you. Just now, I saw you almost faint.”
‘What?
‘Grandma saw everything? Cynthia’s face, which had finally faded the blush, reddened again.
She could only lower her head and eat quickly.
After finishing the meal, Cynthia went back to her bedroom to catch up on sleep, but Liam went to his study as usual.
In the next few days, Jasmine and David still stayed in Regalian Garden.
David couldn’t stand it anymore. He scolded Liam at dinner. “Why don’t you consider
my
feelinpea
Liam raised his eyebrows and wondered, ‘Haven’t I done enough to cater to his needs in life?‘
Then David added, “It seems like you’re trapping Cynthia by your side. I don’t even have a chance to spar with her.”
David seemed to want to practice boxing. He thought that he would have more chances to do it in Regalian
Garden, but he didn’t expect Liam to be so clingy to Cynthia, even bringing her along to the company.

He wasn’t even this clingy with his mother when he was a child..
Hearing this, Cynthia wanted to laugh.
It was said that as people got older, they behaved more like children.
“Isn’t that exactly what David is now.
“He pouted with a look of resentment,‘ Cynthia thought.
“She is my wife. If you want to spar with someone, go find your wife,” Liam retorted without hesitation.
Now David was so angry that he glared at Liam. Jasmine slapped her grandson on the head.
“You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? You might as well hurry up and bury me,” David said.
Finally, Cynthia stayed at home to play boxing with David.
David was very excited.
He had expected this day for a long time since he accidentally sparred with Cynthia last time.
They still chose the same spot as last time, with Jasmine cheering them on from nearby.
Compared with the tranquility on Cynthia’s side, things seemed a bit chaotic at the Larson residence.
After what happened last time, Roseanne hadn’t fully recovered.
They called a gynecologist to the house for an examination, but it turned out that due to excessive indulgence, certain organs of her body had been damaged, making it difficult to conceive in the future.
All of a sudden, the Larson family felt like they were struck by lightning, and because the two men had been engaged in this line of work for a long time, they were carrying a virus on their bodies. This also caused Roseanne to be infected with the virus.
In her private area, there were many bumps, making her extremely itchy.
Both Roseanne and Felicia were frightened. They immediately had the doctor come to check whether it was infectious or not.
Fortunately, it was not an infectious disease.
So, in the past two days, she had been staying in her room to recuperate, declining even Jeffrey’s invitation.
Finally, the wounds on her body almost healed.

Chapter 66
During dinner, Mason asked at the table, “Rosie, how’s your recovery going?”
Roseanne thought her father was still concerned about her, and her disappointed face suddenly brightened up.
In the past two days, since such a thing happened to her, her father hadn’t shown any concern for her. She had thought she was being abandoned.
‘Now it seems that my dad still cares about me.
‘After all, how could the country girl, Cynthia, compare with me?‘ Roseanne thought.
“Much better. Thank you for your concern, Dad,” said Roseanne with a sweet smile on her face.
Felicia was also relieved. In the past two days, she had almost found her next place to settle down.
“Can I ask you for a favor?” asked Mason.
“Of course.” In order to prove that she was still useful to the Larson family, Roseanne agreed without hesitation.
Mason smiled with satisfaction. Then he took out a room card from his bag and put it on the table. “Rosie, you know the current situation of our company. I have no choice.
“This is the room card of Queve Hotel. Mr. Roberts will wait for you in room 5203 tonight.”
Roseanne couldn’t believe what she heard. “Dad, what did you say?”
“Rosie, it’s not that I’m heartless. You’ve already slept with so many people, so it’s nothing if you slept with one more guy. If you can spend one night with Mr. Roberts, we will be able to get investment for our company,” Mason explained.
“But isn’t Mr. Roberts only interested in Cynthia?” Roseanne frowned and couldn’t believe it.
“Mr. Roberts said that Cynthia is Liam’s woman now, and he dares not to covet her. Now he is interested in you,” Mason replied.
“I won’t go!” Roseanne rejected.
Roseanne was used to being arrogant. She would never betray herself to accompany that old lecher.
