Kiera took the bowl of brown sugar and ginger water back to the room and sat down on the sofa.
“Kiera, are you worried?”
Mrs. Caron followed her, sat down next to her, and asked with concern.
“No.” Kiera did not dare to look at Mrs. Caron for fear that she would see her guilty conscience.
She took a sip of the ginger water. It was so spicy that she was speechless. She shouted, “Mom, did you put all the
ginger in the house? It’s so spicy. It tastes terrible. I don’t want to drink it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMrs. Caron: “You’re abnormal. Drink some brown sugar ginger water to get rid of the cold.”
Kiera: “Well, Mom, I actually lied to you. I’m not abnormal.”
Mrs. Caron glared at her. “Lied to me? You child, how could you lie to me about your health? I’m still thinking of
buying a box of herbal medicines for you to eat.
If you are young and not yet married, if your menstrual period is abnormal, you must go to the doctor and have it
corrected so as not to affect future fertility. Girls should pay attention to the issue of menstrual periods, don’t be
shy, and don’t avoid medical treatment.”
Kiera said, “Mom, do you think I’m the kind of shy person? I’m really fine. It’s just that I came back early and was
worried that you would scold me for being lazy and let my dad deduct my salary, so I made up a lie to deceive
you.”
Thank goodness Mrs. Caron wasn’t that quick. Mrs. Caron will scold her very badly if she knows she is lying about
buying her things, letting her take care of herself, or even taking her to the doctor.
“You are thick-skinned, but you don’t look like someone who would be shy.” Mrs. Caron said honestly, “If you have
any concerns, tell me. It’s okay. You won’t come back from getting off work early. By the way, Julian hasn’t come
back today yet. He’s usually home by this time.”
Kiera pursed her lips and said, “Mom, he is a big CEO, and he is busy with work. Maybe he went to socialize in the

Mrs. Caron looked at her and said meaningfully, “You are so stupid.”
Kiera: “…”
Thinking of Julian’s confession to her, Kiera murmured in her heart. Maybe everyone in the family had noticed it,
and then none of them pointed it out to her, leaving her to treat Julian as a friend.
Kiera: “Mom, what do you think of Julian?”
“It’s unfathomable, but he cares about you from the bottom of his heart. He’s also very kind to us. He respects me
and your dad very much.”
