Heart Hunting

"Don't be insatiable. If you make her go in hospital again, you'll be held responsible." Kenny holds her hand and eats the fruit in her hand.

Poppy gives her a snort. "Speak of going in hospital, it's still unknown who goes in first." Poppy thinks she has a good psychological endurance. Otherwise, if someone else's new car was hit by Kenny on purpose, he or she must be so mad at him. Kenny knows that what she means. "But you earn a lot in stead, don't you? I give you twice as the price. As for the cost of mental loss, you're far from being mentally ill. Besides, it was already six o'clock then, you had been off work. Where's the cost of work delay from?" Poppy doesn't expect that he would be so eloquent. "You could be sentenced for this kind of behavior in accordance with the crime of traffic accident and the crime of dangerous driving in Article 133 of the criminal law. It's kind of me for not suing you." Kenny robs the fruit in her hand again and eats it. He replies, "the crime of traffic accident and dangerous driving? First, I didn't escape. And second, I didn't cause serious injury. How could I be sentenced? Do you need to go back to school, little girl? Don't think I don't know the law!"

Poppy is surprised. It seems that he is not easy to fool.

"But you caused heavy losses to my personal belongings, you should pay the compensation!"

"Is 100 thousand dollars not enough?" Kenny is not going to compromise.

Just as they are looking at each other, Kenny's phone rings. His eyes shows serious light after answering the phone. It is probably for business.

He let go of Poppy, and goes to his study with the phone in his hand.

The smell of the food in the kitchen wafts in the air. Poppy takes a bite of Hami melon and goes to the kitchen.

She chuckles, going to Mrs. Murphy and watching her cooking. It has to be said that Mrs. Murphy's cooking skill is really excellent. Poppy can tell just by her technique when cooking.

Mrs. Murphy proudly raises her eyebrows. "Are you attracted by the smell?" She is so proud of her own cooking skill.

"Yes. It smells really good." Poppy answers honestly.

"Of course. My cooking skill is the result of all years of practice. Kenny was very picky when he was a child. II found a chef to teach me cook." There is a sense of nostalgia in Mrs. Murphy's tone. "When watching Kenny eat the food I cook, that kind of satisfaction of can't be described in words!"

Mrs. Murphy's words remind Poppy of her childhood. Her mother used to cook the dishes she liked. When she saw Poppy ate out all the food, she always touched Poppy's head gently and said, "my poppy is so lovely!" However...

The resentment cuts off Poppy's memory, and her face cold down.

Mrs. Murphy doesn't notice. She continues, "if you marry Kenny in the future, you should learn to cook."

Poppy's eyes show a kind of indifference, and she asks, "why should I marry him?"

Mrs. Murphy gets surprised. "He has went to your house to sleep. Aren't you going to get married?"

Poppy chuckles and deliberately says, "it's the 21st century now, how can you be so traditional? Why should people get married just because they sleep together? We're not in the traditional society."

Poppy leans against the kitchen table, and looks at Mrs. Murphy's expression changing. She frowns as if she is thinking of something.

In fact, Mrs. Murphy is also open-minded, and she knows that this era is not like before. People get divorced even after getting marry, which is quite different from the old era.

But she is not willing to see that her son gets nothing.

Mrs. Murphy is distracted, and the dishes in the pot are going to be burnt. Poppy reminds her, "if you are distracted for any longer, the food can't be eaten then."

Mrs. Murphy looks at Poppy and quickly adds water to the pot, and says to her, "go out. Don't stay here. You would just be in the way of my cooking."

"Didn't you just ask me to learn cooking from you?" Poppy tries hard not to laugh.

"If you don't marry my son, why should I teach you cook? Go out!" Says Mrs. Murphy. Ans she drives Poppy out of the kitchen.

When Poppy is about to go out, Daisey hurries in with a nervous look. "Mrs. Murphy! Mrs. Green and her daughter are here. What shall we do?" Daisey takes a look at Poppy.

Mrs. Murphy gets alert. She thinks of Kenny's words that she should never let Hilda and Ethel know Poppy is here.
