She spoke softly and with a smile, very comforting, but Windsor Myres was not comfortable at all.
Rosy Harris was too much like Blair Chester, and Windsor found her annoying no matter how she looked.
Especially—
This isn’t Cloud Capital, it’s not the school dormitory. She came to Riverside City, and she was at Camden River’s home, on their turf.
Windsor Myres smiled at Rosy Harris, "Our family’s cook makes dishes that are quite bland, so I’ll have more egg drop soup, it looks appetizing. Thank you, Auntie."
"If you like it, have some more." Chloe Smith’s expression turned a bit stiff.
Windsor Myres suddenly came to her senses.
She only wanted to irk Rosy Harris a bit; cooking was typically done by the maids.
Yet—
Without realizing it, she had brought Camden River’s mom into it.
Windsor Myres pursed her lips, her mind quickly whirring, and lowered her head to sip the soup before softly saying, "Auntie’s soup tastes really good. My mom never cooks, my dad passed away early, and she has to both manage the business and take care of me alone, possibly too busy, so she never cooks and doesn’t let me cook either."
"..."
When her words landed, the others eating were momentarily stunned.
Suddenly, they understood a bit.
This child was raised by her mother alone. Given that the mother is busy with business, she might neglect education.
No wonder.
Chloe Smith recalled this and felt a bit sympathetic, saying to Camden River, "Little Windsor’s tastes are unknown to us, as her boyfriend you should know a bit, see what she likes to eat, pay more attention, don’t let her not eat well at home."
"I understand." Camden River sighed in relief and nodded.
Troy River, who was eating, also showed a slightly relaxed expression and said, "Little Windsor isn’t fat, why lose weight? Health is more important."
"Girls all like to be a bit slimmer." Windsor Myres glanced at Rosy Harris, a bit envious, "I’m envious of someone like Rosy, slender and not much fat, looks good in clothes."
Rosy Harris smiled lightly, not speaking as she was eating.
Windsor Myres’ gaze seemed to say she had an average figure, thin?
She was quite impressive, no wonder she could hold onto Camden River.
However—
Windsor Myres was aggressive, but Rosy Harris was not.
Listening to Camden River’s parents and Windsor Myres talking, Rosy didn’t interrupt the whole time, just waited for them to finish speaking, then smiled and asked Camden River, "When are you going to Cloud Capital?"
"Hmm?" Camden River looked at her.
"I was thinking of going with you," Rosy Harris said with a smile, "I majored in advertising and feel development is better there, I’ve interviewed with two companies online and passed both, but I’m unfamiliar with that place and I’m a bit directionally challenged, so I thought it’d be safer to go with you, since you study there, have many classmates and friends, you could help me find a place, and it would save my parents from worrying."
Camden River: "..."
Bringing up this request at their family table, he couldn’t refuse.
Not only could he not refuse, his parents couldn’t refuse either.
Chloe Smith was the first to smile and say, "Of course, neighbors should help each other, plus you two studied together before, it’s not a big deal, let Camden take you along then."
"Thank you, Auntie. Before my mom left, she was thinking about this at home, and mentioned it many times on the phone these days."
"Why say thank you?" Chloe Smith shook her head with a smile.
Having said that, she glanced at Windsor Myres and asked, "Little Windsor is from Cloud Capital?"
"Yes." Windsor Myres’ expression had turned cold, nodded.
She simply couldn’t accept what Camden River’s parents meant, being so accommodating? Picking between her and Rosy Harris? Choosing a daughter-in-law?
What kind of people were they?
She was Camden River’s official girlfriend, wasn’t she, didn’t they see Rosy Harris having a crush on Camden?
And yet agreeing to such a thing, creating opportunities for them?
Simply intolerable.
Windsor Myres held the chopsticks in one hand, without a trace of a smile.
Chloe Smith naturally saw it but was indifferent.
She thought, even if her son couldn’t choose Rosy Harris, the families were neighbors, if they couldn’t be a couple they could be friends, since they were going to Cloud Capital to develop, mutual assistance was reasonable.
However—
She originally intended to say Windsor Myres was Camden River’s girlfriend, and could accompany him to greet Rosy Harris.
Seeing Windsor Myres’ face, she was reluctant to say more.
This girl’s casual demeanor had long been a dissatisfaction for her, understanding it through knowing Windsor was from a single-parent family, yet she still wasn’t satisfied, children from single-parent families miss care, their personalities may be slightly obstinate, clearly possessing strong possessiveness towards her son, seeing this made her more unsatisfied.
Sympathy is secondary.
As a mother, she’s always focused on her children’s interests.
