Chapter 208
Barclay did not say anything else. Moira was also hungry. She lowered her head and ate the chicken wings wholeheartedly.
Moira preferred to eat slowly, taking small bites. She was still only halfway through her meal when Barclay finished his.
It wasn’t a big deal, as everyone has their own eating pace. However, Barclay remained seated at the table, watching her.
Moira naturally didn’t assume Barclay was staring because she ate attractively. Perhaps he stayed out of politeness, waiting for her.
For mutual consideration, she subconsciously hastened her eating pace.
After the last bite, Moira finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Barclay. “I’m full, Mr. Covington.”
“Okay.” Barclay nodded and handed his phone to her. “A friend sent me this.”
“What is it?” Moira thought it might be a beautiful landscape video, but to her surprise, it was a video of her pouring water over Barbara and then scolding her afterward.
While it had felt satisfying to pour water and scold Barbara at the time, seeing the recorded video now made Moira feel embarrassed.
She lifted her head calmly, took a sip of soup, then looked at Barclay. “Sorry, Mr. Covington, I have a bad temper. I couldn’t control myself at that time.”
She couldn’t help but defend herself. “Actually, I’m not usually like this.”
Moira rarely cursed at people, but Barbara was just too annoying!
Barbara just wouldn’t stop provoking with harsh remarks.
However, Moira had the title of “Mrs. Covington.” It was quite rude to splash and scold people in public.
Moira pursed her lips, lowering her head to apologize sincerely. “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again next time.”
“Why not?” Barclay raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
What did he mean by that?
Perhaps guessing her thoughts, Barclay looked at her as he said lightly, “It was light.”
Moira asked, “Do you mean I didn’t curse hard enough?”
Barclay replied, “Yes.”
Moira had a profound realization upon hearing his response. “I also feel like I didn’t perform well today! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely curse better next time!”
After this, Moira realized she might have gone too far and quickly backed down, cautiously asking, “But, is it not good for me to curse like that?”
Barclay frowned. “What’s wrong with it?”
Moira mumbled, “It felt like I’m a shrew…”
It wasn’t that exaggerated, but cursing at people wasn’t very good either.

Chapter 208
Barclay asked, “Says who?”
Moira blinked. “Wouldn’t other people say so?”
Barclay smiled. “Oh, they’re just jealous of you.”
Moira thought about it and agreed. “What about you? Mr. Covington, what do you think?”
After looking at her for a moment, Barclay said, “Quite adorable.”
Moira’s anxious mood immediately turned shy upon hearing his words, and her face slightly flushed. “Thank you.”
Then, she picked up the phone and handed it back to Barclay.

Barclay took the phone, and the screen lit up. Moira immediately noticed that the screensaver photo was the “miraculous” picture taken by a
passerby on a rainy day!
Help! How did Barclay have this picture? Why would he use this picture as his screensaver?
Moira looked at Barclay in shock, forgetting her facial expression management.
Barclay looked at her calmly and placed the phone aside. “Is there anything else?”
Blushing, Moira pointed at his phone. “Your, your screensaver photo…”
Barclay asked, “What’s wrong with it?”
Moira struggled for a while before finally saying, “Isn’t it too… dark?”
“It’s not,” Barclay said, then opened the screensaver again.
This time, the picture of her rushing into Barclay’s arms was displayed in front of both of them.
He commented, “I really like this picture.”
Moira stayed silent. Should she say it back?
