Chapter 155
Since young, Abigail wasn't close with Philip so now that she realized that they were in fact unrelated to each other, it was quite hard for her to put on an act and get close to him.
She looked at him and he seemed to be struggling to come up with the words to say, so she didn't rush him. Instead, she stood up and walked toward a display rack by the side.
She had actually noticed this rack since walking into the room.
There was some tea on display and some equipment to brew tea by the side.
In the past, she wasn't a fan of tea but after entering the workforce, she had learned to appreciate tea. After all, drinking tea could stimulate her senses and she wouldn't feel tired during operation procedures at night. Initially, she had started with drinking coffee, but that was quite strong on her stomach and she couldn't tolerate it. As such, she was converted into a tea drinker.
Just then, after all the rush, she felt slightly thirsty. Funnily enough, she had arrived for quite some time now, but the Kains didn't even serve her a glass of water. As such, she decided that she should take things into her own hands and make herself a pot of tea.
"Do you want to drink some tea?" Abigail calmly turned around and spoke to Philip. Meanwhile, Philip was momentarily stunned. It felt as if this scene could never appear between the two of them.
"What did you say?" Philip instinctively voiced out once again.
Meanwhile, Abigail took the tea in her hands and then she tipped some into the teapot as she spoke casually. "I'm thirsty, so I want to make some tea. Would you like to have some? If you do, then I'll add some more tea leaves into the pot."
It was beyond Philip's expectation that he would someday be able to sit down with Abigail and have a discussion so peacefully that he couldn't contain the flash of emotions in his eyes. Shortly after that, he replied calmly, "Yes, I'd like some."
"Okay." Abigail added some more tea leaves into the pot, and then she switched on the power plug to brew the tea.
The fragrance of the tea filled the room soon enough, instantly lifting one's mood.
Soon, she deftly took out the teacups, and then she rinsed them before pouring the tea into said teacups. She served Philip a cup first before pouring one for herself.
At that moment, Philip's eyes were half-shut as he reached out and took the cup in his hand before taking a sip. He felt that the taste of the tea was exceptionally fragrant and tasty. It didn't taste like his usual tea.
