Chapter 461
When Ryan and Carla came down, everyone was already there. Alecia took Iris, and Alan could feed himself without being taken care of by others.
“It seems that I’m not too late, just in time for dinner.” Hubert rolled in his wheelchair and came in from the door.
He smiled and looked at Carla, “You said you want to invite me to dinner, and I have to rush to find you before I can have dinner. You shouldn’t be the one who invited me, it should be me.”
Carla came across the prank doll when she came back, and she forgot about it. She felt embarrassed, “Sorry, I forgot.”
“It’s okay. Didn’t I come to see you?” Hubert glanced at Ryan when she spoke, “How about asking me for this meal in the morning?”
Ryan’s hand on Carla’s shoulder slid to his waist and slammed it hard. Carla’s body instantly pressed against him, and she smiled and smiled at Hubert, “President Tate, it is poor. Can’t you afford to eat?”
Hubert’s gaze passed the big hand on Carla’s waist, his gaze flickered, and he smiled lightly, “It’s not that Miss Lane is inviting guests. The delicacies of mountains and seas are also lost.”
Carla’s eyes patrolled Hubert and Ryan back and forth. How did she feel that they were competing?
Is the smell of gunpowder so strong?
Since it was she who invited Hubert to dinner, she couldn’t go back and say, “That’s fine, you can join us.”
Hubert looked at the table not far away. He had already sat down for half of the table. He still smiled, “Invite me to dinner. So many people are not suitable? Shouldn’t you ask me what I want to eat?”
“Sorry, it’s because I didn’t think well. Mr. Tate always wanted to eat there, what would he want to eat?” The expression on Carla’s face was a bit subtle for a while, she didn’t expect Hubert to be so picky today.
He is still very easy-going in the impression.
“When you leave the hotel, turn right. There is one not far away. The breakfast inside is good. I really like the Crystal bun inside. I don’t know Miss Lane. Would you like to ask me to eat it?”
Carla maintained the smile on her face and said, “Okay.”
Speaking of this, she didn’t seem to realize that Hubert only wanted her to invite him. He reminded her, “Are you asking me alone?”
Carla said she didn’t doubt that he will be there, and nodded, “Yes.”
He smiled beautifully, “Isn’t it inappropriate that the case always follows?”
Get an inch!
Ryan’s words hovered on the tip of his tongue, and when he was about to say it, he found a hand on his back pulling him forcefully.
He turned his head and saw that Iris didn’t know when to run over, clutching his clothes, “Dad has eaten, I will peel the eggs for you.”
Carla smiled and stroked her daughter’s hair, “Iris is good.” She raised her head and looked at Ryan, “Then Iris will trouble you to take care of it.”
“Dad, dad, hurry up and see the egg I peeled for you…” Iris took Ryan, and dragged him to the dining table like Carla back to the room in the morning.
Carla walked to Hubert and said, “Let’s go.”
Hubert turned the wheelchair and walked to lead the way.
Because they were not far away, they didn’t drive, nor did Welsh beside Hubert follow.
“You weren’t angry just now?” Hubert said when he walked out of the hotel.
Carla smiled, “Originally, I said I wanted to invite you to dinner. I forgot. I should be sorry.”
“I mean, call you out and be alone with you.”
Carla was indeed surprised that he was so persistent and called her out.
“Actually, I want to ask you for something, and it’s hard to say inside, so I asked you to come out.” Hubert confessed.
This is why he called her so early, and when he talked about the treat, the purpose was to call her out.
“If I can do it.” Carla is not sincere. No matter what, he did save her. Although this favor was forcibly returned by Ryan last time, she still thought about it. Knowing one, regarded as a friend, Hubert did not harm her.
“With your words, I’m relieved.” Hubert smiled, “I’m here.”
“Didn’t you have something to say?” Carla became puzzled.
“Although things are important, eating is more important. I can’t make you hungry.”
Hubert is probably a frequent visitor here. When he arrived at the door, someone opened the door, and without Hubert speaking, he took them to the private room and served the characteristic breakfast in the store. Among them was what Hubert said. Crystal bun.
Hubert put one on Carla’s dinner plate, “Try it.”
Carla looked down. The reason why it was called the crystal bun was that the dough was crystal clear, like crystals, and there was a mass of filling inside. She picked it up and put it in her mouth. Hubert reminded, “One bite , There is soup in it, otherwise, it will be sprinkled.”
Carla put the whole steamed bun into her mouth, which is a bit larger than usual. The soup filling and dough cover her whole mouth, spreading a strong seafood flavor, which will not be greasy, but will make people feel satisfied. She covered her lips, knowing that her face must be ugly.
Hubert handed her a napkin, “This is to be eaten so that it has a taste.”
Carla took it. She swallowed the food in her mouth and took a sip of porridge, which was white porridge. There was no special taste when she drank it, but when she swallowed it, the faint smell of bone marrow remained in her mouth.
“This porridge is called Tonggu porridge. The bones are removed from the meat, are boiled, the rice is washed and put into a ceramic pot, poured into the soup, and simmered for an hour. It looks the same as the usual white porridge, but the nutrition and taste are far beyond porridge.”
Carla looked at Hubert as if she had discovered a new world, “Do you have research on eating?”
Hubert took a sip of water. His eyes were fixed on the swaying water in the cup. For a while, he slowly raised his eyes, “It’s not a study, I said, I’m doing homework for you overnight, you Believe it?”
Carla was swallowing porridge, because Hubert didn’t know whether it was vomiting or swallowing for a while, and it got stuck in her throat, and couldn’t get up. She choked when she gasped, coughing and coughing…
Hubert handed her water, “Just drink some water and pressure it.”
Carla took the cup and took a sip before pressing down the porridge in her mouth. She put down the cup and wiped her mouth with a napkin, “President Tate, this joke is not funny at all.”
Carla said that she didn’t understand, and there was something in his words, just treating him as a joke.
Hubert smiled, “Just take it as a joke.”
When the meal was almost done, she said, “Let’s talk, what can I do to help?”
Chapter 462
Hubert thought for a while, “It’s about the prank that day.”
Carla held his mind and thought, has he found clues too?
So fast?
“Mr. Blair suspects it is a friend of mine.” When talking about Erinn, his usual smile gradually disappeared.
The name Erinn is not just a person, but his memory, the memory of being in the orphanage.
Like his relatives, he is an orphan, and so is Erinn.
He grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, which is why he helped Erinn when he was sure that she was his childhood partner.
“She has been very timid and kind since she was a child. I remember that once, a few children who were orphans like us, caught a puppy, and they were going to burn it.” He clearly saw Carla’s surprised expression. Smiled, “Do you feel shocked?”
Carla nodded honestly.
“The daily expenses of the orphanage depend on donations and government funding, but how much is actually given to those orphans?” He said in a ridiculous tone of sarcasm, “Many times, it’s good for us to have enough food, let alone After eating meat, it’s hard to see oil and water all year round, and there is no meat at all.
“Those orphans were older than me and her. They dare to think and do. They said there were puppies and wanted to eat them. They are very nutritious and fragrant. When she saw it, she let the puppies. We were in the orphanage. They couldn’t get out, and the puppy ran away and they couldn’t catch them back.”
“The orphans knew she had let go, and surrounded her and beat her. I called the dean to rescue her. Later, she lay down. She couldn’t go to the ground and stayed in bed for a week. I asked her, do you regret it? She said, no, do you say that a kind girl like her would do scary things?”
Carla didn’t know, she didn’t dare to make a conclusion, maybe people would change?
“…Do you know what she is now?” Carla asked.
Hubert shook his head, “I don’t know what I know. She never told me about herself, but simply said that her adoptive parents were not good to her.”
Hubert looked at the sun rising outside the window and said leisurely, “How many orphans will be adopted by good people?”
Fortunately, he was adopted by Holden, a man who had been unmarried all his life. Although he was not as delicate and considerate as his mother, he did the love of a father to his son for him.
“So you called me today because you wanted to tell me that she didn’t do that thing?” Carla tried to ask.
“Yes.” Hubert was still willing to believe it. Erinn is still that simple little girl.
Besides, Ryan is just guessing that the clothing store is not enough for her to do this kind of thing.
“To call you out today is to let her speak to you face to face.”
Carla looked at him, what did he mean?
Does he want Erinn to meet her?
It wasn’t that she was hard-hearted or unwilling to let her go. After watching the video, she couldn’t tell who Erinn was.
If she hadn’t watched the video, she must have believed Hubert’s words, but now, she has a lot of puzzles.
Ryan is not a three-year-old child, guessing out of thin air, there is always a basis, he will say so.
Moreover, as a result of the investigation, she did have something to hide from Hubert.
“in fact……”
Carla just wanted to tell him what she saw, but at this time, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Erinn stood at the door. She was a little shy, her eyes lowered, “I didn’t disturb you, did I.”
Carla swallowed what she wanted to say, and pulled out a smile, “Don’t bother.”
Hubert let her come in and sit down, “Miss Lane is not a caregiver, don’t be so restrained.”
Carla glanced at Hubert, but said nothing.
“Actually, letting you come, I just want to ask you one thing. Have you ever been to a hotel these past few days.” Hubert asked directly and frankly.
Erinn held her hand under the table tightly. She did not expect him to come to her to investigate this matter for Carla and suspect her.
She raised her head and looked at Carla, “Is it what happened to you, do you think I did it?”
