Chapter 310: A Pot of Seafood Soup

The next day, at the dining table.

Halle looked at Horton who kept picking up food for Emily and then looked at the clever and sensible Emily.

The atmosphere was too cordial and harmonious and she felt that there was something wrong.

“It’s bad for children to eat too much meat. Have some soup.”

Horton served Emily a bowl of Borsch.

Halle wanted to stop Horton, but before she could say anything, she saw Emily obediently take a sip of the soup.

Halle was stunned. Emily had always hated Borsch.

“How is it?”

“It’s delicious.”

Emily pouted. No matter what Horton said, she responded obediently.

Halle could not help but frown again and again as she carefully sized up Emily.

“Mom, am I a good girl?”

Emily raised her head and asked Halle seriously.

Halle nodded and said, “Emily is the most obedient child.”

“Mom taught me well. You sleep with me every day so that I’m not afraid. That’s why I grow up healthily. I will become a good girl when I grow up.”

So…

Would she have to sleep with Emily later?

Halle frowned. She had seriously talked with Emily last night.

After all, she and Horton were married. Although they did not have a wedding, Horton’s leg was injured and he did need her to take care of him at night.

She wanted to take care of him before he could walk.

But it was obvious that Emily did not agree.

“The TV says that children without a mother can easily become bad children in the future. You hope that I will be a good child, right?”

Halle felt that something was wrong.

Halle still wanted to say something, but she saw Emily sniff. Emily lowered her head in frustration, and her eyes were full of tears.

“I don’t want to be a bad child. I want to be a good child. Daddy also doesn’t want Emily to be a bad child, right?”

Emily looked at Horton and thought, “So my mother is mine, and you can only sleep alone.”

Horton was upset when he saw Emily crying.

When he heard Emily call him daddy, he felt very happy.

He liked Emily very much.

“Halle, you sleep with Emily for the next few days.”

Horton said. Halle was slightly stunned. She looked at Horton and nodded, saying, “I will talk with her earlier.”

Halle talked with Emily last night, hoping that Emily could understand what she meant, but she did not expect that Emily would say that today.

She didn’t expect that a three-year-old child would be so clever.

…

Two newly bought limousines were parked in the courtyard of the Anderson’s.

Margaret had pulled Hilla down from upstairs and kept circling around the two limousines in the courtyard for a long time.

“How is it? Isn’t it cool to travel in the limousine?”

Margaret said as she took out her phone, “I’ve prepared the travel plan. Halle and Horton will take one. The two of us will take one. We can drive wherever we want. This is the most popular way to travel now.”

They could eat and live in the two limousines, and they could stop to enjoy the scenery at any time.

Every day when they woke up, they would be in different places, looking at different scenery and experiencing different customs and practices. Margaret could not help but be excited just thinking about it.

“Will Halle and Horton go with us?”

Hilla was surprised. To tell the truth, she was reluctant to part with her two children.

Although the Andersons had people to take care of her two children, she still was worried about them.

“They have to go with us. Horton didn’t even give Halle a proper marriage proposal ceremony. After marriage, they don’t spend a honeymoon. I have to let Horton compensate Halle.”

Margaret said with a serious expression as if this trip was arranged for Halle.

Hilla looked at Margaret and said, “You will get married in two months, right? Are you sure you…”

“I just want to go on a trip before I get married.”

“Besides, it’s a good opportunity for us to go out and have fun.”

Margaret pulled Hilla with a face full of excitement, not having the slightest awareness that she was going to be a bride.

“But Horton still has injuries. I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for him to travel!” “So what? He’s sitting in the car. We won’t let him drive.” Hilla frowned slightly. She was still worried.

“Anyway, I have planned the route. William has prepared all the things we need. You just have to follow me.”

Hilla thought, “I’m worried and I don’t dare to follow you.”

Margaret pulled Hilla into the limousine. The interior was decorated very warmly.

There was a small pink double bed, bathroom, and kitchen.

“Can you cook?”

Hilla looked at Margaret awkwardly. Although she could cook, the food she cooked was not delicious.

Margaret smiled and said, “So we must bring Halle. With Halle here, we are not afraid of starving.”

Margaret thought Horton was a burden.

But for Halle, she could only reluctantly accept this burden.

Hilla thought that Bruce would not agree. She did not expect that after she told Bruce, he agreed and decided to go with them.

However, Margaret was unwilling and said, “Bruce, where should I live if you go with us?”

The trip was organized by her, and she couldn’t be left alone at home anyway.

“Have someone add a bunk in the limousine.”

Although it would be more crowded, it was indeed a good way.

After all, they were couples, and Margaret was alone.

Margaret muttered, “It’s inconvenient for me to live with you.”

She would feel embarrassed.

Bruce was very calm and said, “You can live in Horton’s limousine.”

In any case, Horton’s leg was not healed yet, and even if he slept with Halle, he could do nothing.

Therefore, Margaret could live with them.

Hilla was very embarrassed. She hadn’t discussed this matter with Halle yet, so she thought they shouldn’t make the decision directly like this.

“Bruce, you are usually so busy with your work. Is it a waste of time to travel with us?”

“I haven’t had a honeymoon with Hilla. So Hilla and I can take the opportunity to spend our honeymoon.”

Looking at Hilla’s red cheeks, Margaret snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at Bruce. She thought Bruce was stingy!

…

In the warm wind of summer, the two limousines climbed the twisting mountain road.

Margaret looked at Emily on the passenger seat and could not help but frown, saying, “Why do you come with us?”

Emily tilted her head and looked at Margaret, saying, “Don’t you miss me? You and my mother will go out for so many days. I will miss you.”

Emily said sincerely. Margaret couldn’t help but twitch her mouth and roll her eyes.

She did not believe that Emily would miss her.

However, with Emily around, she would feel better when she saw that Horton and Halle were lovey-dovey.

“But we will be driving for a long time. Are you sure you can stand it?”

“Yes, I’ll be very obedient. You needn’t stop. I’ll keep sitting here. There’s a bathroom in the limousine. I won’t disturb you.”

Although the limousine was narrow, it was well equipped.

It was more convenient for Emily.

Their first destination was the warm south.

It was a rainy season, and the temperature was rising.

Since it was a self-driving tour, of course, they would not go to those tourist attractions, but to some hidden scenery that no one had ever been to.

Inside the limousine.

Halle prepared the food for today. Although it was a self-driving tour, there were many people. Halle had to cook alone.

Horton sat on the seat and took the vegetables in Halle’s hand, saying, “I’ll help you.”

Halle lowered her head and did not speak.

Although they were married, they had only gotten a marriage license.

From the time they got married to now, they had maintained a distance.

There were two reasons. One was because of Horton’s injured leg, and the other was because that Halle felt flustered when she approached Horton.

“Did he bully you?”

Margaret glanced at Halle and Horton, who looked at each other, through the rearview mirror and turned to look at Emily.

Emily shook her head and answered, “Daddy and Mom are very good to me. He even let Mom sleep with me. I want to be a good and sensible child.”

Margaret pursed her lips, and she looked at Emily, frowning.

She didn’t expect that Emily would call Horton daddy so quickly.

She thought that it would not be smooth for Horton to be a stepfather, but she did not expect that to please Emily, he even let Halle sleep with Emily.

They stopped at a country road.

Halle prepared the food, and Hilla took Margaret and Emily to the stream to get water.

The water in the stream was very cool and clean. They had been driving for a day, and now that they stopped, they felt refreshed.

“I didn’t expect to see such a beautiful place.”

“I told you we should go out! This is the most popular way of travel nowadays.”

Margaret smiled as she and Emily took off their shoes and stepped into the stream.

“There are shrimps!”

Emily was lying on a big stone in the middle of the stream and staring at the two shrimps crawling out of the stone.

Although she had seen shrimps in the fish tank of Margaret, she was still very curious now.

Emily excitedly reached out to grab the shrimp.

As soon as her hand reached the surface of the water, the shrimp quickly drilled into the crevice.

Margaret ran over excitedly, lying on another big stone and looking into the stream with Emily.

“There are shrimps and there seem to be small crabs.”

Margaret opened her eyes wide. In the past, the crabs and prawns she saw were very big. She just needed to wait to eat them.

This was the first time Margaret had seen a small shrimp the size of a finger, and she was also full of curiosity.

As she spoke, she rolled up her pants and directly entered the stream.

Hilla, who was on the shore, saw that they were making a trip to the stream.

Emily, who was lying on the stone, was also commanding Margaret with her small hands from time to time.

The two of them were having a great time.

“Look out! Don’t fall!”

Hilla reminded Margaret. The stream water was a little cool and Hilla wouldn’t dare to go down.

“Over there!”

“Where are they?”

“Slow down. Margaret, you scared them away!”

Emily complained as she instructed Margaret. Margaret was about to go crazy. She looked down and saw the things in the water. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

“Keep silent!”

Margaret made a gesture at Emily and then carefully walked deeper into the stream.

“Good luck, Margaret!”

Emily waved her hand and stood on the stone, trying to cheer Margaret on.

Margaret made an OK gesture to Emily and walked confidently to a big stone.

Under the crack, a crab was hiding in the water grass.

As the water flowed, the crab’s claws continued to move into the crevice.

Margaret walked forward and grabbed the crab from the water.

“I caught it!”

Margaret was excited. This was the largest crab in this stream.

Hilla didn’t expect that there would be crabs in such a place, apart from shrimps.

She raised her head and saw Margaret standing in the stream and excitedly grabbing a crab that was not as big as a palm.

Before Hilla could say anything, Margaret screamed and jumped out of the stream, jumping onto the stone in a strange manner.

She saw the crab pinching Margaret’s finger, causing Margaret to cry out in pain.

Hilla panicked, but before she could call out to Bruce, she saw Margaret fall from the stone and fall into the stream.

The commotion here was too big, and it had attracted the attention of the people on the shore.

Before Hilla went into the water, she saw Bruce had arrived beside Margaret and carried Margaret from the stream.

At the same time, Halle also ran down from the shore in a hurry and carried Emily into the limousine.

In the limousine.

Margaret, who was in a sorry state, was wrapped in a blanket. She looked at Bruce, who was dressing her wounds. She sniffled aggrievedly and took a sip of the hot soup Halle handed over.

Fortunately, she suffered only minor injuries, but her clothes were all wet.

She had grazed her legs and head, and her finger was red and swollen.

“I’m so pitiful. I caught a big crab and wanted to make a pot of seafood soup for everyone. But I didn’t expect to be so unlucky.”

As Margaret complained, she took out her phone and took a picture of her injury, and posted it on her Line Moments.

After all, her injury was also a big event, and many friends asked her what happened in her Line Moments.

Margaret felt a trace of satisfaction. Then, she took another photo of her head wrapped in gauze and her face was haggard. She posted it in her Line Moments and said, “I’m not beautiful anymore.”

Many people left comments to care about Margaret, and Margaret was looking at these comments with satisfaction.

Julian’s message came as well. Margaret only glanced at it before she pouted…
