Layla's words showed absolutely no remorse. It was just a confession, not guilt. Esme just wants her .. “I want you to apologize.”
Layla was shocked to hear the request. His eyes subconsciously looked for Jason, but all he saw was a cold and sinister look towards him. He wants Jason to tell Esme if it doesn't need to be done, but ….
“Quickly apologize. Esme's mood is not good.” The cold voice sounded.
His heart felt sick. Layla gritted her teeth.
Fucking esme!
“I'm sorry, Esme.” He looks sorry. “I shouldn't touch that horse carelessly.”
Esme was still staring with a sad and guilty look, but it felt cold upon reaching Layla.
“If you can apologize to me, it means you didn't do it on purpose. Brother, I'm sorry. At first I thought you wanted me to fall off the horse, why am I angry. I even scolded you in my heart. Thinking, how could you do that unintentionally which obviously I could not wait for a horse, causing me to get hurt, even then I felt like I was going to see this world one last time. You came up to me then suddenly pulled my horse's hair. Your behavior like that makes me think so. I'm so sorry.”
Layla's face turned white in an instant. He's a hundred percent not Esme, who deliberately chose those words to boost Jason and Seth's emotions. The two men must have thought if he pulled the ponytail on purpose.
At the same time, Esme displays a generous attitude in front of them by forgiving Layla, as well as making the woman look bad!
Layla sneered inwardly. Only with this did he want to see her badly in front of Jason? In dreams!
Layla is very good at suppressing her emotions. He smiled kindly at Esme and said, “I admit that I didn't like you too much in the past, but that's only because you never grew up. I will never hurt you intentionally. Why would I pull that horse's hair on purpose if you didn't know about horseback riding? Isn't that the same as seeking death? You've changed too now. Not like the person who made no sense before. I couldn't be happier for you. Let's not talk about unhappy things anymore. I made chicken soup for you. Drink while it is still warm.”
Esme thought that Layla was very capable. Every word could wash the stains on his body until it turned white again.
Layla's eyes swept over the gypsum in her left hand, then added, “I'll help you and bribe you.”
“I will do it.” Jason suddenly prepares a hand to take the bowl from Layla.
The smile on Layla's face stiffened, pointing her head at Jason's long hand that snatched the bowl from her.
Seth pulled out a chair and sat down beside Esme, observing the woman's face calmly.
While Jason, he finally turned to look at Layla when the bowl had failed to reach his hand. With a cold gaze he asked, “Did you hear?”
Layla smiles even though her heart is as bitter as gall, “This kind of work, let me do it, Director Hall.”
“What type of work?”
“Booking Esme soup.”
“What kind of work feeds Esme?”
Layla doesn't really know how to answer this question.
Esme laughed and said impolitely, “What does Big Brother mean is, how can someone with the status of Young Master Hall do a job like this to feed me? This is the job of a servant. You were served and cared for since young. So, you're gonna be bad at serving someone. What do you know about feeding me?”
Layla glares at Esme, screaming in heart, ‘Witch!’
Was the woman trying to paint her as a servant in front of Jason? On the surface, it looks like Esme is trying to help him, but the truth is?
“Is it like that?” When Jason's eyes fell on Layla once again, it was ice-cold. If Layla answered no, then how would she explain why she wanted to feed Esme?
Do they expect him to answer that he is jealous and doesn't want to see Jason feeding Esme?
Not knowing how to answer Jason's question, Layla looked at him sadly then put the bowl on the table and let Jason do it.
From Seth's observation, the way Jason looked at Esme and treated her was very different from him facing others. Although his face was indeed so, but there was gentleness in it.
Jason took a small spoonful of soup, placed it on his lips to test the temperature. It's still so hot! He blew gently to cool it down a little.
Witnessing Jason's act of tenderness, Esme's brows furrowed faintly in confusion. In the past, Dong Fang Xuan was also a gentle person to her at any given moment, but after she ascended the throne, all of it vanished.
“Open your mouth.” The spoon in his hand stopped right in front of Esme's mouth. The woman opened her mouth and gulped down the soup earlier. Besides there is a hot taste, it also tastes. He raised his head looking at Layla sadly.
“Why? Unpleasant?” Jason asked.
“I think .. no salt.”
“I've added salt!” Layla immediately gave an excuse, “Maybe I have inserted it too little.”
In fact, this was her first time cooking, and she was cooking for a woman she hated. He really wanted to slap himself repeatedly.
“Don't eat this again. It will destroy your appetite. After you recover later, you can eat whatever you want.” Jason calmly said, his voice sounding warm and having a lot of affection.
Layla was stunned as she watched him.
Esme deliberately smiled sweetly, “I want to eat something you cooked.”
Jason and Seth are fascinated by her sweet smile, their gazes unable to escape from it.
“As long as you don't hate the taste.” He replied with a slight smile.
“Married to a man who does not know how to cook, how now suddenly say that?” Esme teased him a little.
“I can learn. I can learn anything in an instant. Do you want to eat beggar's chicken? Teach me when you're out. When you want to eat it in the future, you do not need to make it yourself.”
“Why would you do that? What if I want it every day? I will definitely bother you.”
“I'll do it. Since I married you, I should do my duty as a good husband.”
Esme only intended to burn Layla with a small spark, but Jason perfected it by dousing gasoline. This man, when did he learn how to show his effects openly?
Layla who seems to have been forgotten becomes worse after hearing their dialogue.
Suddenly Jason got up, carrying the bowl of chicken soup as well, “Don't eat this again. I won't let you torture your own stomach.”
Torturing? His soup was said to be a torture for Esme? Hasn't Jason gone too far with her?
Then, Jason threw it into the trash, then turned around again and stood in front of Layla. Hatred seemed to gather in those eyes. “Other times, no need to take care of Esme.” affairs
This was clearly a stern warning to him!
