Chapter 540
The girl\'s large eyes showed a hint of cunning as she stared at Keira for a while before asking, "Are you talking to me?"
Keira narrowed her eyes. "Stop pretending."
Erin frowned. "But my name isn\'t Fox!"
Then, she had a sudden realization. "I get it now. In Crera, do you call beautiful women \'fox,\' and is that why you called me that? Thank you!"
She smiled sweetly, washed her hands, and then stood beside Keira, waiting for her.
Keira watched her closely all this time; the girl hadn\'t slipped up once.
Either Erin\'s acting skills were too superb, or Keira had really mistaken her for someone else.
Keira washed her hands, too, and they left the restroom together. When they got to the dining table, Erin said, "From now on, everyone can call me Fox!"
Upon hearing this, Keira instinctively looked toward Susan.
She saw only a slight furrow of Susan\'s brow, followed by a look of disbelief cast toward Erin. She then eyed Erin with disdain.
Immediately, Charles asked, "Why?"
Erin looked at Keira. "Because Keera just called me that, and I heard that in Crera, people really like to give nicknames. She must have meant that I\'m like a fox, so she called me that!"
James and Peter both twitched their mouths, and James couldn\'t help but say, "Is it possible that it\'s not a good word?"
Erin looked at him with confusion. "I\'ve read your Creran books. Don\'t they call beautiful women \'foxes\'? Why isn\'t it a good word?"
Charles immediately agreed. "It\'s a good word. Of course, it\'s a good word! You\'re just as beautiful and enchanting as a little fox!"
Erin immediately lifted her chin and gave Charles a look, then snorted with pride.
Straightaway, she walked over to Charles like a little princess.
Charles immediately pulled out a chair for her to sit on. Erin took her seat and looked at the dining table. "Wow, the food looks so delicious!"
She clumsily picked up the fork and began to pick up some food.
However, the fork seemed uncomfortable to use, and she looked up at Scott.
Scott then put some food on her plate.
Erin fiddled with the food before finally putting it into her mouth.
Moreover, her cheeks were puffed up as she ate, resembling a cute little hamster, giving off a very endearing vibe.
Keira looked at Erin, her gaze involuntarily softening.
As she was contemplating, a fork reached into her plate, and when Keira turned her head, she saw Lewis placing a rib on her plate.
Keira smiled slightly.
She took a bite, bowing her head.
James and Charles immediately exchanged glances and then simultaneously reached out with their fork toward a plate of shrimp, each grabbing one to place on Keira\'s plate.
"Keera, eat this!"
"Keera, have some shrimp!"
They exclaimed in unison.
After that, the other brothers were slightly startled, and they started putting food on Keira\'s plate as if afraid to be left out.
Ellis watched them and twitched the corner of his mouth. "That\'s enough! Keera only has one mouth. How do you expect her to eat all of that? Don\'t you see her plate is already full?"
With that, he put beef onto his unused plate. He then placed it in front of Keira and took away the plate that was overflowing with food.
Ellis said, "Keera, eat this."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
James was the first to speak up. "Ellis, you\'re cheating!"
"Exactly, Ellis, that was the food we picked for Keera. How could you do that?"
The importance of seniority became evident.
Ellis casually glanced at them and then slowly said, "So what if I ate that food? Is that not allowed?"
The younger brothers immediately turned their heads in indignation and looked toward Mary. "Sister-in-law, you have to do something about Ellis!"
However, Mary only agreed to move back. She hadn\'t decided to stop the divorce process yet.
She actually felt quite awkward having dinner here.
However, when the brothers called her sister-in-law, an inexplicable emotion welled up in her chest, and she was quite touched.
She glanced at Ellis. "Don\'t bully your brother."
Ellis immediately smiled and pushed the plate in front of him toward her. "Mary, this is for you. You need to eat well..."
After saying this, he suddenly realized something, gave her a once-over, then leaned in closer to her and said in a lowered voice, "Mary, you\'ve been gaining weight lately. You\'ve gotten fuller."
Mary didn\'t know what to say.
Would he rather suspect she got fatter than suspect she never had a miscarriage? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mary almost rolled her eyes!
Her mouth twitched, and she was about to say something, but looking at all her brothers-in-law at the table, she couldn\'t bring herself to speak and bowed her head to eat.
Lately, the baby was growing vigorously, and her appetite was astonishing.
After Keira finished the beef on her plate, Lewis piled on the green peppers she liked to eat. Keira looked at Lewis in surprise. "How do you know what I love to eat?"
She wasn\'t picky about food at all.
Yet Lewis always managed to guess exactly what she wanted to eat.
Lewis spoke in a soft tone, "I just know from observing."
Those words made Keira pause slightly.
A warm current surged through her chest once again.
That was what it felt like to be cared for...
She curved her lips into a smile.
Susan stared at the table full of dishes and watched the deep affection between the siblings. Her eyes cast downward.
Suddenly, she turned to Peter. "Peter, I feel a bit unwell. Could I get someone to make some sweet ginger water?"
Peter immediately called out to the kitchen, and in less than two minutes, a maid brought over a cup of ginger water.
Susan immediately reached out to take it.
But in the next moment, her hand trembled, and the cup spilled over the table, soaking all the food on it!!
James immediately stood up. "It\'s over! Keera doesn\'t like ginger!"
He then looked at Susan, "You..."
Susan\'s eyes were already filled with tears, and she looked helplessly to Peter for aid. "Peter, I\'m so sorry. I didn\'t mean it. I just suddenly got a stomach ache..."
James took a deep breath, wanting to say something, but remembering she was Peter\'s fiancée and thus his sister-in-law, he controlled himself.
Keira, on the other hand, furrowed her brow.
Susan was just too much!
Lewis had reminded the others that Keira didn\'t like ginger, and Susan ended up pouring ginger water into all the dishes.
Couldn\'t she have a peaceful meal? Did Susan really think Keira couldn\'t handle her?
Keira sneered and set down her fork.
