Elly already knew about the things Grace Gresia said among the old ladies from Adam Jones.
Although she didn’t know what kind of person Jasmine Churchill was, because she had a mother like Grace Gresia, Elly instinctively had a rather poor impression of Jasmine Churchill.
Especially that "Brother Adam" she heard before; it was extrely irritating to her.
But after all, aside from calling him "Brother Adam" which Elly found annoying, Jasmine Churchill didn’t do anything else that was botherso. She even proactively brought her coffee, and although Elly knew that unbidden service might have an ulterior motive, she didn’t show any unwelco expressions towards Jasmine Churchill.
"Just now I had so drinks and felt a bit uncomfortable, so I ca here to rest. Seeing the servant bring coffee over, I t Cousin Brother Adam at the stairway entrance. Thinking the coffee must have been prepared for Sister Elly, I helped to bring it over."
Ca here to rest? And happened to et Cousin Brother Adam?
Elly chuckled inwardly.
Young girls are young girls after all; their thoughts are all written on their faces.
What she ant with her words is that she ca to the main house to rest, and it’s with the tacit approval of her family’s island master, right?
She didn’t directly say there was a rest area on the banquet side, just that she found the way she addressed Adam Jones and herself sowhat amusing.
Calling Adam Jones "Cousin Brother" and calling her "Sister"?
Elly felt that probably all won naturally harbor hostility towards those won who covet their husbands; thus, even with such a title, she thought Jasmine Churchill was doing it on purpose.
Is she unwilling to acknowledge that she is the younger cousin sister?
Elly laughed, said nothing, simply sat up from lying on her side, and gulped down the coffee in one go.
"Thanks for the trouble."
Elly put the bowl back on the tray and thanked Jasmine Churchill.
"Sister Elly, you’re too polite. I am Brother Adam’s sister, which naturally makes your sister too. Bringing you coffee is no trouble at all."
"Look at you, all sweet talk."
Elly said with a smile, and seeing she had no intention to leave, she asked: "Is there anything else?"
Just as Elly asked this question, Jasmine Churchill’s eyes suddenly reddened.
Elly: "???"
Did her question make Jasmine Churchill feel aggrieved?
"Sister Elly, I’m sorry, the words my mother said today were not her true intentions."
Elly actually didn’t know what exactly Grace Gresia said, just that Adam Jones told her that she was being bossy about how she entertained guests.
She didn’t ask for details, but now hearing Jasmine Churchill’s tone and the aning behind her words, could it be that Grace Gresia said sothing else?
She chuckled and said, "Not her true intentions, then was she taught by soone else?"
Jasmine Churchill had never dealt with Elly and didn’t know that she herself was a prickly person. If anyone offended her, she would retort without hesitation.
She thought that by saying this, Elly would consider her Adam’s younger cousin sister and a guest of the Jones family today and would comfort her to not take it to heart.
She never expected that Elly would counter-question her.
She was choked by this question and flushed with embarrassnt.
She couldn’t answer at the mont, hesitantly looking at Elly with an expression of being scared to tears by her.
Don’t be like this...
Before Elly could speak, Jasmine Churchill actually did start to cry because of her.
Her tears flowed like a breached dam, continuously falling.
"Sister Elly, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, it’s all my fault..."
No, it’s not your fault, can you leave now?
