Chapter 117 For any help you can come to me

Late in the evening, they came back from the Xisan snow mountain. Jane was hungry, and she wanted to have a hot pot for the dinner, so she took Edwin Carter to a hot pot restaurant she used to go to with Laura. The restaurant is located in a remote place, but the business is surprisingly brisk. The reason is that besides the good taste the owner and his wife are very close to people. So whenever customers come here, they feel like at home. And if any customer comes here more than three times, the owners always remember him. That’s why when Jane led Edwin Carter into the restaurant, the owner’s wife greeted her with a smile, "Hey Jane, you’re here." It looked like a friend greeting her friend after many years. Jane had not come for three years, but the owner’s wife recognized her at a glance. She really felt like at home. She smiled and said, "Hello, Madam!" The owner’s wife’s eyes fell on Edwin Carter, "I haven’t seen you for such a long time. Is he your boyfriend?" "He’s not my boyfriend." Jane looked at Edwin Carter and saw his expressions. She held his hand tightly and said, "He’s my husband." "What a fine match." The owner’s wife praised them and led them to their seats. "Look at the menu first. Call me if you need anything." "OK, thank you." Jane took the menu from the owner’s wife and handed it to Edwin Carter. "What do you like to eat?" Edwin Carter said, "Whatever you like." It wasn’t Edwin Carter’s habit to eat out, not to mention hot pot, which was absolutely impossible to change before. But now he was willing to change his habit for Jane. Occasionally accompany her down an ordinary restaurant, accompany her to eat hot pot and to go shopping, just like happily married couples do. Actually, it’s very good! Jane took back the menu and looked at him angrily, "Mr. Carter, do you know while ordering the food the most annoying thing is this phrase, whatever you like. Such casual words mean what?" Edwin Carter, "..." His food has always been prepared by specially assigned persons according to his likes and dislikes. He had no experience of ordering food in such a small restaurant. To be honest, he really didn’t know what to eat so whatever Jane ordered he would be fine. "I won’t take you to eat hot pot again." Jane glared at him and was about to be angry with the man who didn’t know romance at all. "I’m really okay with whatever you order." Edwin Carter shook his head helplessly. "Well, just as you like." Jane looked at him angrily. She sometimes felt that Edwin Carter is like a God. She just needed to appreciate him and cannot bring him to this real world. She knew that his taste is light, so she ordered more vegetarian food than meat dishes. She just got angry at him but in her heart, she knew that he’s very good. See, even the waitress who served the dishes fixed her eyes on him. But this’s not good. It always made her feel that one day she will lose him and he will not come back. With this thought, Jane couldn’t help glowering at him again, which made him feel puzzled. Edwin Carter noticed her gaze and sighed silently. It seemed that Sienna Henry was right. Women never need a reason to get angry. After the pot boiled, Jane put her favorite tripe and duck intestines into the pot, but these things were never touched by Edwin Carter. "Don’t you eat?" She was still sulking at him, so the tone of her question was not very good. "Nah, I’ll eat now." Edwin Carter stretched out his hand and took her plate which she was full of spices and very hot to eat and gave her his plate. "It’s not good to eat so much spicy food." He was calm and his expressions were cold. He said it in a very serious tone, but Jane felt he cared for her. Just forget it. Jane thought that she knew his nature then why she’s still forcing him. Jane scalded some dishes for him, "You must be hungry." "Um." Edwin Carter nodded but did not eat. Instead, he gracefully took Jane’s favorite food and put them into the pot. When he saw that the food wasn’t too hot, he put them on her plate and served to her. Jane liked to eat hot pot since she was a child. When she came to eat hot pot with her mother, most of the time her mother took care of her food. Her mother always put an extra plate aside to cool the hot dishes for her. She thought that no one in her life would treat her like this except her mother. Edwin Carter, thank you! Thank you for being with me when I am sad and helpless! Thank you for bringing me the sunshine when I don’t believe there is still warmth! Thank you for letting me feel your warmth in this cold winter! "John, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here." The voice of Robert Michael suddenly interrupted her thought. She saw Robert Michael standing at their table, with a casual smile on his face. "Mrs. Carter, can I join you?" He said. Robert Michael is a friend of Edwin Carter. But at this time, he asked if he can join. She looked at him but could not understand what he’s thinking. She thought for a moment and was about to refuse when she heard Edwin Carter’s polite voice, "Sorry, you can’t." Jane knew for the first time that Edwin Carter was still so polite when he refused people. She was really curious about what kind of family he grew up in. How could his manners and morals be so good? But Robert Michael ignored him, sat beside Jane, smiled and said, "I asked Mrs. Carter, not Mr. Carter." "Mr. Michael, I do what Mr. Carter says," Jane said. "Mrs. Carter, we had such a good chat the other day. How can you turn against me so fast?" Robert Michael shook his head and pretended that he was deeply hurt by her words. Edwin Carter’s eyes shot over, seemingly with a smile, but it made people feel cold. Robert Michael shrugged his shoulders, stood up and said, "All right, enjoy your meal." He turned around to leave. After several steps, he turned around and said, "Mrs. Carter, if you have any problem, welcome to come to me at any time." "Thank you very much, Dr. Michael." Jane nodded and smiled politely at him. "If I encounter any problem that you can solve, I will come to see you." Jane didn’t dislike Robert Michael; she even felt that he’s very kind. But she knew that he was too smart. He knew everything that was in her mind, but she knew nothing about him. She didn’t want to make friends with such people, so she’d better stay away from him. "Edwin, what is Dr. Michael really like?" Although Jane didn’t want to be associated with Robert Michael, she was curious about him.
