You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 78

The people at the next table heard Amelia’s startled cry and turned their heads to look at her. Mildred, who was busy eating, looked up at Amelia. Shirley too looked up at Amelia with astonishment.

Amelia’s seat was wet with soup, and there was even a large soup stain on her thigh area.

Mildred laughed gleefully, “Ms. Jones, why are you so careless? You won’t have another dress to change for getting it dirty this time.”

Amelia went very red, damn Mildred…

Bryan carried Jacob and got up, saying, “It was me who accidentally spilt the soup just now. I’m really sorry, Ms. Jones. Why don’t you go to the bathroom and clean it up?”

The crowd expressed their envy hearing this. For the first time, so many people wanted to have their soup spilt on them.

Meanwhile, Amelia felt classy for Bryan’s attitude, and she even believed that the soup spilling on her was worth it when she saw a group of women focused on her with envy.

Amelia secretly glanced at Mildred, thinking that Mildred was actually fond of Bryan. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have repeatedly been tit-for-tat with her. But, what was the use of liking him? In the end, it was Amelia who sat next to Bryan.

“It’s fine. Mr. Moore, you have your meal first. I’ll let someone clean up the place.” Amelia said warmly and delicately.

She then beckoned the waiter to come over and clean up the area, padding it with a clean serviette before going to the washroom.

After Amelia had left, Mildred stood up and went around to Amelia’s place with her plate. She placed her cutlery down and asked the waiter to move Amelia’s plate away. She then went to Shirley’s side and lifted the children’s high chair.

Shirley hurriedly grabbed the chair and said, “What are you doing?”

“Letting my nephew sit with me.” Saying this, Mildred tugged the chair hard and placed it in the middle of Bryan’s seat and hers. She patted the chair, saying, “Come, Jacob. Sit here.”

Jacob instantly gave her a thumbs up.

Sure enough, it was really worthy of Aunt Mildred.

So, Jacob happily sat in the middle, just that he wasn’t sitting between his mummy and daddy.

Shirley couldn’t help but hold her forehead seeing this scene.

Anyone could have figured out that Mildred was creating conflicts and the chance for the father to spend time with his son.

This was absolutely her bestie!

And at that moment, Shirley’s clothes were tugged by someone.

Shirley turned her head to look at Kevin’s side. Emma was grabbing her clothes, gazing longingly at Jacob, and saying in a naive voice, “Mommy, I want to sit there.”

Emma pointed her finger at the middle of Bryan and Shirley.

Kevin chuckled and had already gotten up before Shirley refused, carrying Emma, together with the high chair, to the middle of Shirley and Bryan.

Shirley exclaimed, “Kevin, you can’t spoil the child like this.”

“Shirley, please hurriedly move your chair, or the kid won’t have a seat.” Kevin held the chair with both hands, maintaining a half-crouching position.

Even though Shirley resisted putting the children in between her and Bryan, she quickly got up and moved out of the way when seeing Kevin’s action.

Kevin placed the chair down, with Emma revealing a joyful smile. She put her hands on Kevin’s neck and kissed him on his cheek, “Thank you, Daddy Mitchell.”

“You’re welcome.” Kevin returned with a gentle smile.

Shirley then moved Emma’s bowl to her. Just as Shirley looked at Jacob’s side, Bryan turned out to be looking at her side too, and their eyes met.

Shirley glared at him and then lowered her head to eat her food.

Bryan’s depressed mood was all gone when seeing the two kids on each side of him. He then diligently served the food for the two kids.

However, not long after, Bryan found out that things had changed.

After not taking care of Emma anymore, Kevin took care of Shirley instead.

Bryan saw Kevin put the fish without bones into Shirley’s bowl, then thoughtfully poured her a cup of juice and even served her soup when her soup ran out. The atmosphere had instantly become extremely tense again.

What kind of relationship did Shirley have with that man? So intimate that they could just share the same chopsticks to eat their food!

Bryan secretly gritted his teeth. When seeing Kevin picked up the fried squid, Bryan also swiftly grabbed his chopsticks and picked up several squids, placing them into Shirley’s bowl. And it happened that Kevin was also putting the squid into Shirley’s bowl.

Mildred and the two little ones turned their heads simultaneously, staring at the two pairs of chopsticks placed in Shirley’s bowl. And they could smell gunpowder in the air instantly.

And it was emanating from Bryan.

Shirley was stunned looking at the two pairs of chopsticks in front of her. And before she could react, Bryan withdrew his chopsticks first and put each kind of dish on the table into her bowl, which eventually turned into a pile of food.

Shirley looked up at Bryan, saying, “Mr. Moore, what do you mean by this?”

“In case you can’t get it!”

Mildred spewed out a mouthful of food…

What kind of excuse was this? Still treating her like a child.

Kevin also looked at Bryan with a disbelieving expression on his face. He then giggled, “Shirley, it seems that Mr. Moore is very attached to you.”

Bryan raised his brow, “We should always take care of each other when being outside.”

“Well, Shirley always buries herself in eating, and sometimes, she didn’t even have picked up the food herself after finishing her bowl of rice.”

“Is it so?” Recalling last night when having dinner with Shirley, it seemed like she rarely moved her chopsticks to pick up any food far from her.

And of course, that was how Bryan had piled her bowl with food too when dining yesterday.

Right now, Shirley didn’t want to do anything except slamming her bowl. However, more than hitting the bowl, she didn’t want to talk to Bryan anymore.

“Well, Shirley is a bit timid. It’s quite hard for her to bring up the two kids by herself, and she doesn’t have any family members around. As a brother, I hope there will be someone who doesn’t mind her and take care of her for the rest of her life.”

“Kevin!” Shirley was red and bad-tempered.

She glared at Kevin, clutching her chopsticks tightly as she complained, “What are you talking about?”

“Just think of me being drunk and talking nonsense.” Kevin hurriedly picked up the red wine next to him and smiled at Bryan.

Bryan looked well after having a brief conversation with Kevin just now, and he lifted his glass of wine to clink glasses with Kevin in a friendly manner.

Shirley couldn’t stand it anymore, and she got up.

Kevin and Bryan asked in unison, “Where are you going?”

“To the washroom.” Shirley turned around and headed to the washroom.

Shirley washed her face to cooled herself down gradually while Amelia opened the bathroom door and walked out of the toilet.

Seeing Shirley standing at the sink, Amelia swayed over and turned on the tap, sneering, “Shirley, I heard that you’ve taken on a business since you came back and no need to stay at the hospital as a tiring psychiatrist. Tell me, who’s your money man?”
