Chapter 20

Surprised, Blake furrowed his brows and asked, “Who gave him snacks? Didn’t I make myself clear not to feed him snacks before the meal?”

Because Blake appeared mad, the servant dared not argue, and she timidly glanced at Kim.

Kim did not know Blake would be this mad, so she meekly confessed, “Winson said he was hungry earlier, so I gave him something to eat.” She anxiously watched Jessica hand Winson to the servant.

Back at Blake’s home, Ms. Susan was responsible for Winson’s meal while Kim was only responsible for teaching the kid to speak English and Mandarin.

Kim probably thought that she was not close enough to Winson and wanted to buy the kid’s heart, which would definitely help her in front of the Fergusons, but the opposite happened instead.

Lady Cecilia furrowed her brows slightly. No matter how well-educated or how well-behaved Kim was, when it came to Winson, Lady Cecilia would never tolerate any carelessness.

However, she smiled as consolation, and to help Kim out of the situation, she said, “Kim, you are still young and don’t have any children, so it’s normal for you not to know how to take care of a child. Don’t worry. You will be able to learn more in the future when you spend more time with Winson.”

As she said that, she glanced at Blake. Although it was nothing serious, Blake reacted strongly. “It’s good that Kim likes Winson.”

After his mother supported Kim openly, Blake furrowed his brows slightly but did not say anything else.

Meanwhile, Jessica subtly smirked because she knew what Lady Cecilia and Kim were trying to do.

Dinner continued. Once again, Lady Cecilia mentioned that Kim was learning Russian. She also praised her for being competent and talked about her father being promoted as a vice principal in university.

“I met your father once. He’s a great man. Like father, like daughter.”

“Thank you for the compliments, Lady Cecilia. I’ll be sure to deliver the message to my father.”

Lady Cecilia smiled kindly and even put a piece of fish on Kim’s plate herself. She suddenly thought of something and said to Blake, “Oh, right, Blake, didn’t Kim help you with the Spanish consul? Have you thanked her?

“Actually, I invited her to dinner because your father and I wanted to thank her ourselves for helping us out. If it wasn’t for her, things might not have progressed so smoothly. As for yourself, you’d better think of something to repay the favor. Don’t just forget it.” She sounded casual as if she was joking, but in between the lines, Blake knew she wanted him to do as she said.

Blake actually knew that the Spanish consul would attend the Mid-Autumn Gala but only at the very last minute. He told Joe to ask a teacher or a first-class student from the language school to help, and the meeting with the consul could still go on. However, for whatever reason, after Lady Cecilia heard about that, she told Joe to ask Kim for help instead.

Blake simply grunted in reply to acknowledge Kim’s help in this meeting.

Lady Cecilia nodded happily when he agreed. “Don’t you forget.” When she looked asquint at Jessica and noticed her eating quietly, she rolled her eyes.

‘Hmph, what else can you do other than eating? You have no contribution to our family and even wanted our help to save your family.’

Robert cared more about the company than anything else, and since Lady Cecilia mentioned the Spanish consul, it reminded him of the European tourism project. He looked at Blake and said, “Blake, why don’t you leave the tourism project with the Spanish consul to Ms. Jackson? Since she’s met the consul before, I think it’ll be much more appropriate for her to follow up on it.”
