President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 241

Murray took the tea and took a sip. He said with satisfaction, “OK, you are my apprentice from now on. You can call me Mr. Moore or master.”

“Then I’ll call you master.”

I thought it was a good name.

Murray looked at me and said, “you took advantage of your face.”

“Face?”

I froze and touched my mask. I didn’t understand what he meant for a moment.

Murray nodded. “You look a little like one of my sisters. What’s more, you act like her.”

At this point, Murray bowed his head to drink all the tea in front of him and poured tea for himself.

I could see Murray was a little sad.

His sister was very important to him. Since he accepted me as an apprentice, he must want to make up for some kind of regret.

I hesitated for a moment and asked, “master, where is your sister now?”

“She’s gone.” Murray shook his head. “Twenty years ago, she left with a man. She never contacted me again.”

“How could this happen? She’s too cruel.” I said.

“No.” Murray interrupted me directly. “She’s not cruel. She just cares how I feel. When she left, she said she would not come back. In that case, we should not contact.”

“Master, you are right.”

I realized that when I said she was not good, Murray would not be happy.

In that case, I dare not express my opinion again.

That afternoon, Murray talked to me about learning. He said he had a studio in a small town on the outskirt of the Carson City and I could study there.

At the same time, if he had a job, he would let me be his assistant. He would pay me and wouldn’t let me have no income.

“Thank you, master.”

I was very grateful to Murray.

I could even foresee that this study may really be a new chance for me.

“Well, don’t thank me. If you are too stupid and don’t study hard, I will drive you away.” Murray pointed to the cup in front of me. “It’s cold.”

I picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. I felt sick at once!

I rushed into the toilet in the teahouse!

I didn’t puke anything.

I rinsed and all of a sudden I had a headache.

So much happened today after I saw Murray. I even forgot that I was pregnant.

How could I tell him about it?

When I went out, Murray didn’t look happy. He looked at me angrily and said, “is my tea so awful that you vomit?”

“No.” I quickly sat down and wiped my hands with a tissue. I looked at Murray in embarrassment. “I forgot to tell you I am pregnant.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry. If you think I’m not qualified to be your apprentice, I don’t blame you. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”

I lowered my head with guilt and waited for Murray to comment.

“Ha ha.”

It was quiet for a few seconds and then I heard Murray laughing.

I looked up and looked at him incredulously.

Murray laughed for a while and then stopped. He smiled helplessly. “You are pregnant. I didn’t expect that.”
