President's Substitute Wife

Because Erin kept talking, dinner was delayed by an hour.

I listened to her most of the time, but I had to take care of Lester and be afraid that he ate too much.

While I was watching Lester, I took a look at Ming.

I was stunned.

Ming had finished by this time. He put down his chopsticks and watched Erin speak attentively.

His eyes were gentle but there was a strange concentration in his clear eyes.

He was focused on Erin.

But he seemed to be looking at other people through Erin.

At this time, I turned to Erin again and found that Erin was also focusing on Ming.

Her concentration was different from Ming’s.

She was watching Ming.

She was only looking at him.

I was suddenly nervous and felt that something might happen.

I suddenly didn’t want Erin to take care of Lester.

Erin kept talking. She was just talking to Ming so I didn’t want to hear it. I asked Lester, “are you finished? Shall I go upstairs and play with you?”

“OK.”

Lester nodded and wiped his mouth with the handkerchief in front of him.

I took him off the baby chair.

Erin stopped immediately and asked me, “may I help you, madam?”

“No.” I smiled, “you keep talking. I haven’t seen Lester for a long time. I’ll be with him.”

At this time, Ming also stood up and followed me and said gently, “I’ll join you. Will you not welcome me?”

“No.” I said with a smile.

When I finished, I glanced at Erin. She stood still.
