"If you let me take care of your daughter, your husband probably won't be able to stay as calm as always..."
As calm as always...
If Su Xiaomeng paid more attention, she would have noticed the slight subtlety in Cherry's wording.
However, Su Xiaomeng, who has always been a bit insensitive in her friendships, didn't catch Cherry's intentional subtlety. She just responded,
"He doesn't take her anyway."
"True... men usually prioritize their careers."
Cherry murmured.
Su Xiaomeng was just making casual conversation, knowing better than anyone the efforts her husband made for their child and family.
The waiter opened a bottle of Lafite for them and poured wine for Cherry.
Su Xiaomeng quickly said,
"Just a little for me, I'm not good with alcohol."
Cherry seemed a bit surprised. After the waiter left the room, she asked,
"Isn't your husband a businessman? Don't you need to accompany him to social events?"
"Hardly, he rarely takes me out."
