My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 831

Chapter 831

After making herself comfortable in the living room, Genevieve carefully took out the moonstone tea set from the wooden box and had the housekeeper bring a pot of water over.

How odd. Why do I feel so at home at the Zeigler residence? Is it because I'm a natural socializer?

Yuvan helped Herbert down the stairs just as Genevieve was brewing a pot of tea, and the old man's eyes lit up when he smelled the tea aroma wafting through the air.

"Is that Earl Grey tea from Feston?”

Genevieve turned around and smiled at Herbert. "What a sharp nose you have, General Zeigler. Not only could you tell that it was Earl Grey tea, but you also knew where it was from.”

“Of course. Feston's Earl Grey tea is one of the best. I receive at least two cans of their premium earl grey every year,” Herbert replied as he gazed at the tea set on the coffee table. “You sure look like you know what you're doing.”

“My mother loved drinking and brewing tea, so I learned a thing or two from her,” Genevieve replied. “If I weren't confident of my skills, I wouldn't have dared to use such a premium blend of Earl Grey.”

As soon as the tea was ready, she poured a cup and handed it to Herbert. “Please try it.”

Herbert accepted the tea without hesitation before smelling it and taking a sip. Soon, a smile crept across his face. “Ah, such a robust floral flavor. It's excellent!”

Yuvan, too, had helped himself to a cup of tea.

“Premium tea, paired with Ms. Rachford's expert tea brewing skills, sure makes for a delicious and delightful combination!” he exclaimed.

Herbert couldn't help but gaze at the cup in his hand. “This teacup isn't cheap either, is it?”

“It's not too bad. The entire set only cost a little over a hundred thousand,” Genevieve said with a smile. “I heard you love drinking tea but didn't have any proper tea set at home, so I got this especially for you before coming over.”

As it turned out, Genevieve had fully expected Herbert to reject her.

She calmly poured him another cup of tea and smiled. “Since the books are your treasured possession, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to take them away either. I do have some free time on hand, though. Would it be okay if I stayed here to read them instead? Although I specialize in simultaneous interpretation, I'm also very good at translating text. Let me know what books you like. I'd be more than happy to read them to you.”

For someone who was an avid reader, Herbert felt very touched by Genevieve's offer.

“Ah, you didn't turn me down, so that means you're willing to give it a try,” Genevieve teased. “Don't worry. If you aren't pleased with my performance, you can chase me away anytime.”

“Is that a promise?” Herbert asked, his tone a lot gentler than before.

Genevieve chuckled. “Yes, it is! Also, this tea set is my gift to you. There are no strings attached to it. All I want is for you to be able to enjoy a nice cup of tea.”
