As soon as he heard Seth's offer, Esme immediately replied, “Now?” Esme's eyes were shining, slightly tempted.
It is rare to meet someone who does not hate him and wants to talk to him about many things. Looking at Seth, he felt very interested.
The way Seth saw it was filled with hope and goodwill, so Esme could not bear to refuse Seth's invitation. And again, this was her chance to make a friendship. He cannot deny, someday he will definitely need someone to support him.
“When you like.” Looking at Esme who did not reject her invitation, Seth's bright smile became even brighter.
The word ‘hebat’ almost escaped aunt Esme out of excitement, but she managed to bite back on the word. Considering she still had not found a tailor to make the dress she had designed, she could not rush over. Instead, he smiled shyly.
“How about next week? I'm not free in two days.”
“Yakin?”
“What's fun in the meadow?”
“Riding, archery, drinking horse milk wine, and of course, enjoying the beautiful natural scenery!”
Esme beamed as she frowned and said a little lower, “All those activities are my favorite.” Riding, archery, he really misses that.
“It was amazing to hear. This is also my life favorite.”
Glancing at him, Esme's gaze had a suspicious meaning. “Favorite on?”
“Ya.”
Once again, Esme looked at him with doubt. “Not her favorite of your life are women and money?”
“Women just love face and money only. And, I can't entrust the whole feeling of my life to them. Money is nothing but an external factor, it only brings materialistic satisfaction, but it can not give me happiness from the spiritual or psychological aspects.”
“Those you just mentioned, can meet the happiness you seek?”
“Of course.”
Esme asked in a seductive tone, “You like to ride a male horse, or a female?”
“Female horse. Since this gives me horse milk, I like to drink horse wine.”
Esme laughed at him. “I agree.”
“I didn't think we had much in common.”
Jason stood on the stairs, watching Esme and Seth talking and laughing together happily with each other. His dark eyes burned, his eyebrows suddenly raised with skepticism.
This was the first time he had seen Esme laughing like this, sincere, carefree and happy. His eyes were like the tip of a sword as he looked at Seth's arm that was too close to his wife's shoulder.
Did he have the desire to die sooner by approaching his wife?
It seemed like they had sensed Jason's gaze at the same time.
Two people who were currently whispering raised their heads and saw Jason almost explode.
Just by looking at this man, whatever good mood had evaporated into thin air.
Seth seemed oblivious to the danger in the situation, but still gave a brilliant smile as he called, “Jason Hall, your wife's tea making skills are number one.”
Jason's cold gaze swept over the tea utensils on the coffee table. Moreover, he had smelled the fragrant aroma of this tea earlier. Still, Jason could not believe that Esme knew how to brew tea.
This woman ... is she still the Esme she knows?
“Why are you still standing there? There is still one cup left. Come here and feel it!” Seth re-adjusted his posture, sitting upright, his slender fingers thrusting at Jason's chair.
“Why are you still here?” Jason lifted his legs, stepped towards them, and sat down cutting the distance between Seth and Esme. His arrival carried a stinging cold aura.
“Young Master Thanos also likes to drink tea?” Jason sneered.
“Not that I don't like to drink tea, it's just that my needs are very high. And this is the first time I have tasted such a fragrant tea made by Esme.”
The temperature in Jason's eyes dropped clearly. Seth always preferred to drink horse wine. If not, the other option is another alcoholic beverage. Drinks like tea and the like .. As far as Jason is concerned, Seth would never be interested.
Seth has a straightforward and honest personality. If he were to give such praise, it proved just how skillful Esme tea-making was.
However, listening to his best friend's praise for Esme, somehow his heart felt uneasy.
Jason sat between Seth and Esme, crossing his long legs lazily. “Five minutes. Get yourself out of my house now.”
Seth put on his face. “Five minutes? I still haven't quite here.”
“I'm sure, you don't want all the horses in your stable dead.”
“You are cruel, Jason!” Seth snorted, sulked and stood up. He directed an angry face at Jason, and in a flash his eyes turned radiant with a smile of happiness as he looked at Esme. “Esme, don't forget to call me whenever you're free.”
“I don't have your number.”
Flexibly, Seth gives out a business card with a faint smile, “The phone number and my home phone are listed here.”
“Oke.” Esme received the card with pleasure.
Esme's gaze held on until it sent Seth out. It was not that he could not bear to part, but he did not want to look back.
Indeed for what? To see Jason's dark face? He felt uninterested in it.
The weather outside is pretty good, the flowers are blooming and the bees look so beautiful too. However, Jason did not have the same sentiments.
“The person is gone, what can be seen?” Jason scolds.
“The person is gone, but the aroma is still left behind.”
“Esme Andreas!” Jason boiled with anger.
Slowly, Esme turned her head with a clear confusion all over her face. “You don't seem too happy.”
“You're really flirting with the other guy in front of me?” Jason's sharp gaze weighed down on Esme.
Esme maintained her innocent expression by winking. “I only made two tea pots for him, and he already praised me good. How is this called flirting?”
“You know how to brew tea?”
Esme displays her brilliant smile, “Is it so hard to believe?”
“Then, what else do you know?”
Esme deliberately played her long hair as she thought through each word without hurrying. “Mm .. I can't seem to remember for now.”
“A single car accident can cause dramatic changes to you? Now I doubt very much that you are the Esme Andreas I used to know.”
Esme's face seemed to sink at her remark, “There is no doubt, I'm really not the same as the old Esme.”
Emilia's eyes almost jumped from her eye sockets in shock at the words. The part finally made his heart ache for Esme.
Faced with Jason's poker face, Esme said again, “It wasn't a car accident that triggered a drastic change in me. It was your attitude that made me sad and made my heart go cold.”
