Chapter 1359: She Loves Him, He Doesn’t Love Her 6
Cedric Fisher hadn’t returned yet due to a last-minute matter, so only Thomas Fisher and Autumn York were home. Autumn’s extreme enthusiasm slightly alleviated her nervousness, and it even seemed to be gradually easing.
"Athena! It’s great that you came, there was no need to bring gifts, you’re too kind." Autumn York held the gift Athena Linton had just handed her, feeling warm and happy inside. The content didn’t matter; what mattered was the thoughtfulness of this young girl.
As someone with experience, she could see that the young girl sitting beside her liked her son. She had sensed it the moment she first laid eyes on the girl.
"Auntie! You’re too kind." Athena Linton lifted her hand and pointed to the gift in Autumn York’s hand, giving a somewhat anxious smile, "I wasn’t sure what Auntie likes, but this is a decorative necklace, and I hope you like it."
She could tell that his mom was very happy and seemed to like her. She thought it was a pretty good start.
"I like it." As Autumn York spoke, she opened the exquisite box. The moment she did, an elegant and delicate necklace appeared before her eyes. She sincerely praised, "The necklace is very beautiful, I really like it."
This wasn’t just being polite to the young girl beside her; she was sincere. She truly liked the decorative necklace.
Seeing how happy Autumn York was, Athena Linton breathed a sigh of relief, "It’s great that Auntie likes it."
His mom was so happy, it seemed she hadn’t chosen the wrong gift.
"Athena! How much did you pay for this? I’ll transfer the money to you." As Athena Linton and Autumn York were having a pleasant chat, Thomas Fisher, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke, instantly ruining the delightful atmosphere. The smiles on the two women’s faces froze.
Autumn York was the first to react, glaring at Thomas Fisher sitting nearby, then turned her attention back to Athena Linton, only to find the girl’s face had turned a bit unpleasant.
"Ignore your brother Thomas, he’s just that kind of tactless man." Seeing the situation, she was even more certain of her suspicion that this girl had feelings for her son, even more than she had imagined.
"Brother Thomas often jokes like this with me, I’m used to it." Hearing Autumn York speak to her, Athena Linton immediately masked the expression she shouldn’t be having and replaced it with a brilliant smile, tilting her head to look at the person sitting beside her.
Athena Linton clearly understood whether Thomas Fisher was joking or not, but she had to pretend to be unfazed, as it seemed to be the only thing she could do at the moment.
"I..."
"Let’s not mind him, come! Let’s go have dinner with Auntie."
Thomas Fisher opened his mouth to explain that he wasn’t joking, but Autumn York shot him a look before he could get the words out.
He hadn’t even had the chance to retort before he saw his mom standing up with Athena Linton and heading toward the living room door.
Athena Linton wanted to call Thomas Fisher to come along, but Autumn York held onto her, so she couldn’t bring herself to shake her hand free and just followed her to the door.
"Brother Thomas! Aren’t you coming to eat?" She wasn’t willing to be led out by his mom like that, and she called back to him who was still sitting on the sofa.
"I already ate before I came back; you go eat with my mom." Thomas Fisher waved at Athena Linton, indicating for her to go and have dinner with his mom.
