Heart Hunting
Chapter 69

The smell of the food envelops the whole dining room. Each dish is like carrying a sense of warmth. Though Mrs. Murphy doesn't say anything, all the dishes are made according to Poppy's tastes.

Looking at all the dishes that she likes, her heart warms up. Kenny says to her, "see how much my mom loves you. She makes all the dishes you like."

Poppy smiles at him perfunctorily and begins to eat.

She saw a large area of braised fish burnt when she is eating it. "The braised fish is burnt over."

Mrs. Murphy takes a look at the fish, and replaces what she said is true. She complains, "it's all your fault. If it wasn't you two bothering me..." She didn't want to go out to look at them, but she could not help do that. So it's all because of them, otherwise the fish would not have burned.

She adds again, "forget it. It must not be delicious. Don't eat it."

But Poppy specially selects the fish which is burnt over to eat, "I just like to eat the burnt meat. It is crisp enough!" As she says, she takes a big bite of rice.

"You can eat more if you like, but don't eat the part which is burnt too bad. It's not good for your health." Mrs. Murphy sighs in her heart, it would be the best if she has a daughter. People say that daughters are always more considerate than sons. She really regrets that she don't have a daughter.

Butt maybe if she have the chance again, she would still not want to have another baby.

Mrs. Murphy keeps nipping the dish to Poppy's bowl. "You said you like this sweet and sour spareribs, eat more."

"And this chicken with soy sauce. I stewed it for a long time. You need to eat more."

"This black chicken soup with red jujubes can supply your blood. Women must eat it more, otherwise it's easy to get old!"

...

During the meal, Mrs. Murphy almost never stopped nipping the dishes for Poppy. And Poppy didn't resist it, either. She even ate two bowls of rice.

After eating the last grain of rice, she contented herself with another bowl of soup.

Mrs. Murphy is quite satisfied with it. But when she look at the table, she replaces most of the food on the table has went into her stomach. And Kenny is still eating slowly. Mrs. Murphy murmurs, "you see how much you ate, you even ate Kenny's share."

Poppy puts down the bowl after drinking the soup and looks at Mrs. Murphy. It is clearly that she kept picking the food for Poppy. How could she blame on her?

Poppy answers deliberately, "I said that before, I would eat out all the dishes."

"You're such a bad woman. My son is so fascinated by you, and you don't even leave him food now." Mrs. Murphy scolds her, but actually, she doesn't really mean it.

Poppy laughs instead of angry. "Yeah, not just all his food. Even if I want this house now, Kenny will give it to me willingly."

She glances at Kenny and to give him a hint to say something.

What?!

Mrs. Murphy is so shocked. This little fox spirit is really bold.

Kenny is very cooperative with Poppy every time! He nods, "she's right, as long as she likes."

"No! You can't do that!" Mrs. Murphy interrupts. "This is the ancestral house of our family. How can you give it away?"

She thinks for a while. There seems to be a nice villa next their house. Mrs. Murphy adds, "if you want to give her a house, just buy the villa next to us and give it to her."

Poppy listens to Mrs. Murphy's words. She is a little stunned and looks up at Mrs. Murphy's expression. She is quite serious. She has to admit that Mrs. Murphy is really fun. She is simple and kind. Probably she can keep this mentality because Kenny has protected her so well! That's very good. At least Poppy won't feel tired when getting along with simple people like Mrs, Murphy.
