Chapter 1632: She Worries About Him
"What is this?" Jennifer asked, puzzled.
"It's a handkerchief stained with coffee, milk, and juice residue. Thepaper contains food particles,” Ivan explained as a flash of the momentthey sent the plant to Rowan's palace crossed his mind. He and Clairehad intentionally kept some samples for him to bring back to ArkpoolCity.
He said, "This is the king's breakfast, sampled from the kitchen. Canyou detect any poison in it?"
Jennifer met his gaze, her chest tightening as she listened. "Are youinvestigating alone?"
Before Ivan could answer, she worriedly reproached him, “Do you knowhow dangerous this is? If they dare to poison the king, they are nothingshort of desperados. They might come after you too! It's not yourterritory!"
She could feel her nervousness and fear.
Ivan reached out and grasped her shoulder, his tone gentle andapologetic, "I'm not alone; I have Claire, Rowan, and our constructionteam. Isn't that enough?"
Jennifer didn't think about anything else; she was just terribly worriedabout him. "You're going there again, aren't you?"
"Of course," he replied to her, "Rowan is my friend, and we must replacethe killer for him."
But the dangers involved were easy to imagine.
"My dear, I know you're very worried about me, and you're equallyconcerned about Rowan, so we need your help now," he said.Jennifer wasn't the kind of woman who feared death. Her gaze fell onthe box on the coffee table. "Let's go to his laboratory and see if thesefoods are poisoned.”
"Okay."
So Ivan released her shoulder and took the box, standing up.
Jennifer put on her shoes too. "You act too quickly; you haven't figuredout the situation in the royal palace yet."
"We'll be more cautious next time," Ivan said as he took a down jacketfrom the hanger and helped her put it on. "Please, my lady, restassured. No one dares to touch me."
Then he carefully zipped up the jacket and tied a scarf for her, takingher hand and leading her downstairs.
"You've worked hard," Ivan said to her.
"Don't say that," Jennifer rubbed against him. “It sounds like I don'twant to help him. He's my friend, and he's my apprentice too."
She glanced at him. "I'm just worried about you. You've only been gonefor a few days, and you're already taking such risks? You haven't evenfigured out the situation in the royal palace, and yet you've obtainedfood samples.”
"I didn't do this,” Ivan let go of her hand, put his arm around hershoulder, and told her honestly as they walked downstairs, "Claire didit."
"Ah?" Jennifer was startled.
Then Ivan explained Claire's identity and situation over there to her.Claire was the Arabic translator by the king's side, Ivan's cousin, andcompletely unfamiliar with Prince Louis, but she had captured theadmiration of Prince Taylor.
"So... will that be okay?" Jennifer worried. "Feelings are selfish. She isRowan's girlfriend.”
“It's fine; they have enough trust between them. Besides, althoughTaylor is the son of Queen Katharine, he isn't scheming. Whennecessary, he can still be of help.”
As they chatted, the two of them reached the living room downstairs."Are you going out?" Aubree happened to come out of the kitchen,seeing her daughter-in-law already wearing a down jacket and a scarf.“Yes, Mom," Ivan replied, "We're going out for a while, but we'll be backsoon."
Aubree didn't ask for more details. "Wait!" She quickly brought a hatand came to Jennifer, directly helping her put it on and instructing,"You're pregnant, don't catch a cold. It's cold outside.”
