Heart Hunting novel Chapter 27

About ten minutes later, Mrs. Murphy brings out two big bowls of lotus root and spare ribs soup, she yells to them, "Kenny, little fox, come here for dinner."

Then she goes back to the kitchen and brings out the dishes.

Poppy goes into the kitchen with her, "Mrs. Murphy, little fox spirit comes in to help you serve."

Mrs. Murphy says, "no need, go out and sit down. I'm afraid I'll be poisoned by you!"

"Don't worry, I would only poison your son if I want to. I'm not interested in you." Poppy goes out with the braised pork in her hand.

Mrs. Murphy is so annoyed and amused, she comes out with steamed fish. "Why would my son like this kind of woman?"

Mrs. Murphy has already had supper. She sits by and watches them eating with relish. She actually feels very happy in her heart, as if the craftsman has made a handicraft and met Bole who knows how to appreciate it.

Seeing Poppy finish a big bowl of food, she can't help asking, "do you want to eat more?"

Poppy smiles. She thinks, in fact, this old lady is pretty interesting, with a soft heart. "No, otherwise, how can I poison your son if he doesn't eat enough?"

"You little fox, can you speak in a normal way?" Mrs. Murphy is a little annoyed. It seems that every sentence of this little girl is intentionally to against her.

"No, what if you like me?" Poppy holds back her smile. She suddenly feels that it is fun to talk with Mrs. Murphy.

"You are really so shameless!" Mrs. Murphy turns her head to ignores Poppy.

"Fine, if you like to listen to good words, I can only boast that the food you cook is delicious." she thought she will never have this kind of dishes with a sense of family flavor in her life.

"It's better." Mrs. Murphy doesn't care if Poppy said it with sincere. Anyway, she is happy to listen. But there is still one point she really cares, how could she not be in fond of Kenny? As she thinks, her face is deliberately serious again.

Kenny watches them fighting all the time, and he doesn't speak, but smiles in heart.

After dinner, Kenny and poppy, who are full, goes back to the living room, and Mrs. Murphy asks the servant Daisey to cut them fruits.

Looking at poppy, Kenny can't help saying, "Poppy, stay here tonight!"

His eyes are full of ambiguous, and Poppy can sees through his mind! "No way!"

"I won't drive you back tonight. If you have that ability, you can walk back on your own." Kenny seems to have planned carefully earlier.

"Kenny, there are taxis in this era." Poppy thinks his words are idiotic.

Mrs. Murphy, who is sitting next to them eating melon seeds, can't help but participate in their conversation. "The residents here all cars in and out. Unless you walk out of this suburbs, there might be a taxi."

Poppy is a little surprised. How would she ignore this problem.

"Kenny, you such an old fox."

"But I don't have any clothes. Mrs. Murphy, would you lend me your clothe?" Poppy looks at Mrs. Murphy.

Kenny breaks into a sly grin, "I don't mind lending you my shirt."

"I'm afraid your mother will nosebleed."

Mrs. Murphy really doubts whether this is a woman or not, "little fox, don't expect me to lend you clothes."

"It's OK, then watch your son's nose bleed!" She stands up and says to Kenny, "I'm tired. Take me to the guest room."

Kenny hooks her shoulder, "Consider sleeping in my room tonight?"

Mrs. Murphy immediately calls Daisey, "Daisey, go to the bottom closet of my room and get a new suit of casual clothes, and prevent them from sleeping together tonight."

"Yes, ma'am," Daisey replies, and immediately goes to Mrs. Murphy's room to look for clothes.

Kenny takes Poppy to the room, just when he is about to go in with her, he is stopped at the door, "You better not come in."

"Why?" Kenny is confused.

Poppy doesn't reply. She looks at Daisey from afar, raises up her eyebrows and signals Kenny to look over.
