Simon immediately asked the hotel to bring a coffee brewing kit and mugs, Caroline took the opportunity to text Kirk. “My Grandpa is here. How long do you need to get here?”
Kirk didn’t reply.
The staff had brought the tools, so Caroline had no choice but to concentrate on brewing coffee for Jude. Skill and knowledge were
required to make coffee. She couldn’t be careless,
The staff brought them Robusta Coffee beans. Caroline ground the coffee beans with the grinder and bolled some water. Then, she poured the ground coffee beans into a filter. Finally, she slowly poured the hot water through the filter into a mug, filling the room with the fragrant
scent of coffee.
A cup of dark coffee was ready, emitting an aromatic, smoky scent.
“Here you go. Grandpa.”
Jude picked up the coffee. He took a sip and smiled with satisfaction. “Your coffee is as delicious as always, Carrie.”
Caroline said modestly, “I’m sure you’re just being nice, Grandpa.”
Jude waved his hand. “I’m not. I know you, Carrie. You strive to do your best at everything. Take this cup of coffee, for example. A professional may not make coffee as good as yours.”
“Grandpa
Jude sighed. “It’s a pity Eddy won’t get to try it.”
Caroline lowered her head and remained silent.
Jude smiled and didn’t say anything more. He turned his attention to the emerald bracelet on Caroline’s wrist. He asked, “Did your
husband give you this bracelet?”
Jude had noticed it when Caroline had been making coffee.
Caroline smiled slightly. She said with a hint of pride, “Yes.” She’d worn the emerald bracelet on purpose. She hoped to prove to Jude how
good Kirk was to her and help Jude make a good impression.
Jude looked at the bracelet. He didn’t say anything but took a sip of his coffee.
Everything was silent for a while. Caroline couldn’t guess what Jude was thinking. She thought he was annoyed at Kirk for being late. She made an excuse to leave the private room and called Kirk.
