Mother Hoyle said softly, "I watched Ophelia grow up, she is a good girl, she is clever, sensible and filial, and she has been waiting for you for so many years. I know you have been searching for so many years, trying to find the girl who saved you. I have never seen that girl, but just as you said, she is such a girl, however, she left you first, it’s not you do not want her, it’s she that gave up you first. I think you are more grateful to her than love her. You don't even know what she looks like. How can you fall in love with her? Now that you have made up your mind to marry Ophelia, I hope you will treat her well and not do anything to make her sad. Do you understand?”
"Mom, don't worry about it anymore. I know how to deal with it." He knew what he was doing and what he should do.
No one can play tricks behind him and retreat as well.
Aoba and Ada got up one after another, and tended a little sleepy. They didn't have enough sleep yet. "Happy New Year, Mom!"
Looking at them, Mother Hoyle happy. "You two are so lazy. Your elder sister-in-law has been cooking in the kitchen for a long time."
Ada listened to her mother’s words and become excited, "It seems that the elder sister-in-law is really ready to be a good wife and mother, however, I don't know if the dishes will be poisonous or not, elder brother, you have to get ready for avoiding it."
Mother Hoyle stared at him. "What are you talking about? Let alone you don't go to help your sister-in-law, how can you say such unlucky words in the New Year, go to wash your mouth and wash out your stink."
Ada opened his mouth and hacked in front of Mother Hoyle. "What's the smell? I've just brushed my teeth. The Mint in toothpaste is still in."
Ophelia really cooked a lot of dishes. It looked good, but just didn't know how it tasted.
Ada looked at the dishes on the table and then looked at Ophelia. "Sister-in-law, did you really do that by yourself?"
Aunt Hudson answered on behalf of her, "These are really made by Miss Meyer herself. We just help her to do the other things.”
Ada laughed and said, "Sister-in-law are so great, when did you learn this skill? I remember last year, you almost made a fire in the kitchen, and you scared me and my mother so bad last time."
Mother Hoyle rolled her eyes. "You? When you get married, Maybe my hair will turn all white. You really want to be married at thirty?”
Speaking of this topic, Ada immediately keep silent. Those men that introduced to her are all not good. They are all rich family’s son. All of them are money spenders. They are immersed in the society, just rely on their ancestors, don’t they?
She really does not like that kind of man, she really doesn't know how could her mother feel good at them.
"Well, let's take the meal. How many points can I get?" Ophelia interrupted them and clamped a chicken leg for Mother Hoyle. "Mom, it's not so good. You can point it out to me."
Mother Hoyle tasted it and nodded. "It's really good, right? Alan, what do you think?"
"Well, it's fine." Alan smiled faintly, but suddenly he remembered another kind of taste, which he remembered no matter how many years had passed.
