Love Her to No End

Chapter 77 Being Understanding

Unlike the oppressive atmosphere from the day before, breakfast was very pleasant.

After breakfast, Michaela even prepared fruit.

Usually, Nick disliked eating fruits more than anything else. No matter how much Mavis coerced him, he would take two bites with the utmost reluctance just to get it over with.

As Michaela was there to cook for them at the crack of dawn, prepare fruit, and even thoughtfully stick toothpicks into each piece, Nick could not find it in him to deny her of her wish of caring for him.

Furthermore, the girl was so persuasive that he could not even refuse.

“The doctor said that high blood pressure is no cause of alarm, Old Mr. Xander. The most important thing is to have a balanced diet. Look at how you frightened Old Mrs. Xander yesterday. Be good and have your fruits and vegetables! We’ll go for a walk later in the afternoon. You’ll be in great shape in no time!”

After the baptism of heavy rain throughout the night before, the sky that day was bright and clear.

If it were anybody else who spoke to him that way, Nick would have already told them off. However, the old man was so mollified by the girl’s words that he could not stop smiling. In between bites of his apple, he nodded vigorously in agreement.

Even Mavis looked relieved at her husband’s compliance and could not refrain from expressing her admiration. “Well done, Mich! He’s usually much more stubborn than this and would not give anybody the time of day. You can’t be unreasonable anymore with Mich around, Nick!”

Mavis glared at her husband as she spoke before turning to take Michaela’s hand with a motherly expression. “You’d promised me to come often whenever you have the time to. You’re not getting away now that you have Nick under your spell!”

When she said that, Mavis’s gaze slid subtly over Jonathan. She was prepared to work hard for her youngest son’s happiness.

I’m doing my best. If the kid doesn’t take the opportunity, it won’t be on me anymore!

“The pleasure is all mine,” Michaela responded earnestly. “I just hope that you won’t find me annoying!”
