SWNOVELS Chapter 994 Doing Farm Work, My Hand Hurt
Chapter 994 Doing farm work, my hand hurt
Hearing his tone that seemed to be distressed for her, Mavis remained expressionless, with her right hand always protecting her lower abdomen.
"A little bit of physical fatigue is not a kind of suffering, but a tired heart is the real suffering."
Anthony's face turned pale, but he still asked, "You've been married to me for more than a year. Have I ever tired you?"
Mavis sneered and gave him a self-knowing look.
He seemed to have no idea of himself at all.
Anthony's handsome face froze. He looked away resentfully, and continued to help Mavis with her work.
Still thinking about what Mavis said just now, he was inexplicably a little impetuous.
A shovel went down into the earth with too much force, and it was overturned and flew out.
With a bang, the shovel flew several meters away and fell to the ground.
This was not the funniest thing, because the moment the shovel came off, he was covered in dirt by himself.
When Ella came over, she happened to see this scene and almost laughed out loud.
"Mr. Callahan, how much effort did you use? It's the first time I've seen a shovel blown away by work."
Mavis, who had a serious face, couldn't hold back anymore. She secretly turned her head away and suppressed a smile.
Anthony wiped the dirt from his face. Although his face was dirty, his movements remained noble, and he said coldly against the wind, "People make mistakes, and it's just a small mistake." Ella was embarrassed to laugh too much, and looked at his clothes.
It seemed he deliberately changed into loose and cheap clothes today for work, but he was noble to his bone. Even if his handsome face was covered with a layer of dirt, it can't cover his delicate facial features.
Ella was amazed that he didn't seem to be able to do this kind of work.
But at this time, Anthony felt that something was wrong, smelled the smell of his palm, and asked Ella, "What is added to this soil?"
Ella was a little embarrassed and said shyly, "I didn't add anything ... Just to make the soil more fertile, all natural fertilizers were used."
Natural fertilizer?
Wasn't that...
Ella said bluntly, "In order to make the plants grow better and make everyone eat healthily, some cow and sheep manure will be used. Of course, sometimes human manure is the best..."
"Blech --"
Before Ella finished speaking, Anthony started to feel sick.
He didn't care about the polite formula, but turned around and left. He was walking extremely fast, as if he wished he could fly back to his residence.
As soon as he left, Mavis and Ella exchanged glances.
With a pop, the two laughed out loud.
She'd known Anthony for so long, and it was the first time she'd seen him so embarrassed that he didn't care about anything but ran away.
After laughing for a long time, Mavis asked, "I remember that this soil has not been watered with any natural fertilizers. Did you deceive him on purpose?"
Ella stuck out her tongue playfully. "I just fix him for you because he treated you badly, but it seems that he doesn't do this kind of thing often. And he can't even tell if there is a smell of feces in the soil or not." In half an hour, Anthony went back to the bathroom of his residence and took at least ten times of showers.
His skin was red from rubbing, and the disgusting smell barely eased a little.
After changing his clothes, he came to the fields of the manor again.
The broken hair on his forehead was slightly wet, and his brows and eyes were cold. He returned to his previous calm and dignified appearance, as if the man who ran madly to his room to take a shower just now was not him.
Ella didn't expect his expression to change so quickly, and sighed a little, "Mr. Callahan, are you still here to help Mavis? But the earth... are you not afraid of another accident like just now?" Anthony disagreed, "No, I will be careful."
He stepped forward and carried up Mavis, who was spreading seeds.
"Ah?"
Mavis was unstable, and can only wrap her arms around his neck.
"Go and sit down. Just watch us work from the sidelines."
Mavis was not very happy. "That's what you think. Please don't always use your ideas to force me."
"It's just advice for pregnant women," he quibbled.
"I don't accept that advice."
"It's okay. You will accept it slowly. Work is secondary, and the safety of you and your baby comes first."
He was still the same as before, dictatorial.
Mavis was getting more and more upset. "Anthony, I have told you clearly enough yesterday that I have a new man now. Should you avoid arousing suspicion?"
Anthony raised his eyebrows slightly. His jawline stiffened a little, and he said coldly, "You and I are the certified couple. It's also your so-called new man who should avoid suspicion." It was well-founded.
Mavis didn't bother to talk nonsense to him.
He bent down, and Mavis was gently placed on the chair by him. He took off his coat and put it on Mavis's shoulders.
"The wind in the evening is very cold. Don't freeze. If your hands and feet are cold while sitting, go back to rest early."
His soft-spoken and extremely caring appearance made Mavis stunned.
But it was only half a second in a daze. Mavis took off his coat and threw it on the ground.
Anthony's eyes darkened. He didn't say anything, but went back to the fields waiting to be reclaimed.
In the evening, the red clouds gradually receded.
It was cold and windy.
And it was indeed a bit cold.
Even if Mavis didn't care about herself, she needed to care about the baby. After a few instructions with Ella, she went back to her residence.
She didn't say a word to Anthony again and didn't even glance at him out of the corner of her eye. She treated him like nothing the first day she saw him.
...
After an hour.
Anthony and Ella reclaimed and planted the vegetable plot.
He looked at the masterpiece he had been busy all afternoon with satisfaction, and asked Ella, "As long as I do more, Mavis will do less?"
Didn't she say that she was with the manor owner's son and wanted to give the child a Delta Union residence? Then she must show her kindness and work to please the manor owner's family. Although panicked in his heart and frowning, Anthony still asked Ella, "What else is there to do?"
Ella was speechless for a while. In fact, she really wanted to say that Mavis didn't need to do these things. It was just that she was idle and bored, and found something to do for herself to kill the time. However, she heard the conversation between Mavis and Anthony last night after all.
As a friend of Mavis, she was naturally partial to Mavis.
She can help Mavis bully Anthony a bit, which he asked for it himself.
However, Ella noticed his hands.
His big hands with well-defined bones were red and swollen due to excessive use of the shovel, and even had a few blisters, which was a bit painful.
It was enough to play a prank like just now. After all, Anthony was a guest of the manor, and she had to take responsibility if he got tired.
"Mr. Callahan, your hands are hurting. Don't you really need to take a break?"
Only then did Anthony feel a slight heat pain in his palms, which were so red and swollen, and hurt even to squeeze it lightly.
He remained silent, and put his hands behind his back to cover the blisters on his hands.
"A little injury. I won't make a fuss. If there is still work that Mavis needs to do, you can order me directly."
