ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 10 Episode 47

Sheryl had no intention of just standing by since it was Holley who started the fight. ‘I will make her pay for laying a hand on Susan. No one can hurt people I care about,’ she thought.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Susan looked helpless while looking at Cary.

“What do you want, Mr. Herbert?” Susan asked with a frown. Cary had stayed in the ward for over three hours now, but he was still unwilling to leave. That alone gave Susan a headache.

“I already told you everything I know. What else do you want to know?” she continued as her visitor didn’t respond.

As she was running out of patience, she added, “I’m tired. Could you please leave me alone?”

“Sure,” replied Cary lazily as he glanced at the patient. He somehow found Susan kind of cute.

“But you need to eat up the porridge first,” he even negotiated with a sly smile. He picked up the bowl of porridge and placed it before Susan. Then he tenderly said, “I will leave immediately as soon as you finish this.”

Susan had no choice but to accept his offer. Reluctantly, she reached out to take the bowl of porridge from him.

Looking up at Cary, she asked, “Really?” “Yes,” Cary confirmed with a smile.

If it hadn’t been for Sheryl, Susan would have already driven Cary out of her room.

She was about to take the bowl of porridge when Cary suddenly tightened his grip on the bowl. Thus, she ended up glowering at Cary as she asked, “What are you doing? How can I eat the porridge if you don’t give the bowl to me?”

On the other hand, Cary didn’t get angry at all. Meeting Susan’s dissatisfied gaze, he smiled and said, “Let me feed you with it. You are a patient now.”

“I just broke my legs. I didn’t break my hands. I can handle myself,” the woman snapped and rolled her eyes. She then shot a suspicious look at Cary and asked, “Are you fooling me?”

“Why would I?” Cary responded with an innocent look. Then with a beaming smile, he coaxed, “Come on, sweetie. Open your mouth.”

Cary fed her a spoonful of porridge. Thus a sudden impulse to beat him up came to Susan’s head. However, she ended up biting her lips while clenching her fists instead as she tried her best to hold back.

Sensing that Susan was controlling her anger, Cary couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Hurry up. Don’t you want me to be out of your sight? Or…” he urged while putting on a cunning smile. Then he said flirtatiously, “You are just trying to stop me from leaving, aren’t you? You’re acting like that so you can spend more time with me. As we all know, women are always duplicitous.”

“I admire your wild imagination. However, it is unfortunate that it’s not true,” Susan shot back sharply. She leaned forward a little to eat the spoonful of porridge Cary was offering and swallowed it. She didn’t eat anything in the morning and thus, she felt terribly hungry. As a result, she finished eating most of the porridge in a blink of an eye.

“Come on, honey. One last bite,” Cary encouraged while holding the spoon next to her lips. He sounded both tender and playful as his eyes never left Susan.

That made Susan glare at Cary and warn, “Don’t forget your words. If you dare to trick me, I will teach you a lesson.”

“Don’t worry. I will leave as soon as you finish the last bite,” assured Cary. ‘It’s time to meet George Obrien,’ he thought.
The door was pushed open at the same time when Susan opened her mouth for the last spoon. Her father came in with his hands full of grocery bags. He looked at the bags and said, “Honey, look at what I brought for you. These are your favorite fruits. I also got you some dumplings your mother made and…”

His mouth instantly shut when he saw what seemed like a tender scene from a romance movie. Cary was spoon feeding Susan with the porridge!

Stunned, he gawked at the two.

He was okay with her daughter dating a guy. However, caught unprepared, he was taken aback by great surprise.

“W-Why are you here, Dad?” Susan asked with wide eyes after swallowing the porridge hastily.

“I…” Jeremy Edison, her father, also stammered as he shot Cary a discreet stare. ‘This guy is handsome. He looks like a well-bred gentleman. Perhaps he and Susan can be a good couple,’ he judged silently while nodding in approval.

“Dad!” Susan raised her voice as she noticed that her father was observing Cary. It was then that she realized what was going on. Jeremy misunderstood her relationship with Cary! Thus, she said impatiently, “Are you listening, Dad?”

“Well…” Jeremy responded with a smile. It took him some seconds to finally collect himself and explained, “I brought dumplings for you as your mother asked. Their fillings are pork and fennel. She got up early to make it this morning.

However, it looks like you already had lunch.”

“Dumplings with pork and fennel?” Cary repeated with his eyes lit up in joy. “My mother always made it for me. But… she is busy now and she doesn’t have time to cook for me anymore.” A bitter smile cracked his lips as the delight disappeared in his eyes immediately.

He had seldom eaten at home since he started his company. He usually had quick meals in restaurants.

“Is that so?” Jeremy smiled widely. Then he invited in a friendly tone, “You can have some of this.”

He gave the food container to Cary and added, “I don’t know if you’ll like it though.”

“Thank you but…” Cary hesitated. “I don’t think it’s a good idea since you brought it for Susan.”

“Yes, Dad. he is right,” Susan followed. Squinting her eyes at Cary, she urged, “Didn’t you say that you would leave after I finished porridge? Then why are you still here? You can leave now.”

“What are you doing, Susan?” It was Jeremy who sternly replied on behalf of Cary. He cast his daughter a sullen stare before adding, “Where are your manners? Why are you acting so rude?

He came to visit you out of goodwill, but look at how you treat him.”

“Dad, you don’t know that he…” Susan faltered as she didn’t know how to explain to her father. Jeremy still pulled a long face. Obviously, he didn’t intend to listen to her daughter’s explanation.

Turning to Cary, he smiled awkwardly and apologized, “I am sorry. My daughter was spoiled by me. She could be slightly offensive.”

“It’s okay,” Cary beamed. Seeing no trace of displeasure on the young man’s face, Jeremy heaved a sigh of relief and said to Cary, “Please have some. Now that Susan had lunch, you can eat it. If you like, I will ask her mother to make some for you next time.”

“That’s so kind of you. But…” Although Cary acted as if he was turning down Jeremy’s offer, he already stuffed a dumpling into his mouth.

“Wow! it’s so delicious,” he remarked with a broad smile. Failing to resist the temptation of delicious food, he picked up another dumpling and ate it with gusto. He didn’t put down his chopsticks until he ate up all the dumplings.

“Looks like you love dumplings very much,” Jeremy said. He smiled from ear to ear upon noticing how much the guy appreciated the dumplings. He continued, “Feel free to drop by my house when you have time. I will ask my wife to cook several dishes that she is good at. I am sure you will love them.”

“That’s a deal,” agreed Cary while smiling triumphantly.
