Chapter 287

The hustle and bustle began as everyone started preparing for the Christmas feast.

After lunch, during a lull, Angela and the others toured two glasshouses, filled with chickens, ducks, geese, quails, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, vegetables, and a rooftop herb garden. "Angela, in the future, we should also get a villa here. We can be neighbors with Stella and Jasper, and have chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep, all of it."

Cody, not to be outdone, declared to his girlfriend, "Kitty, I'll work hard too."

Stella almost laughed but managed to hold it back, "Do you guys want chicks or ducklings? You can take some home after dinner."

"No, thanks." Angela said, "We all have jobs. We don't have time to raise them. When we finally get our own villa, we can ask you then."

Everyone continued preparing the feast, with a hearty chicken broth, spicy duck, sausage stir-fry with bell peppers, and two baskets of vegetables.

Just as they were about to sit down for dinner, there was barking outside. It was the mastiff, who had come pulling a small cart. In the cart was a lamb leg and ten pounds of fresh beef, still smelling of blood. Cooper's eyes lit up at the sight.

Within the cart was also a card with flamboyant handwriting: Miss, Merry Christmas.

Stella didn't know how to feel. Bran was really getting into this.

The mastiff looked at her with drooling anticipation.

She was not gonna send things in return, as she knew he still had tricks up his sleeve.

Stella took out a knife and cut a large chunk of meat for the dog. After getting approval from Cooper, the dog gulped it down.

The fresh meat was taken inside, cut into several plates of beef and lamb rolls, with the leftovers stored in the fridge.

At five in the evening, the feast began. It was delicious, a taste they hadn't had in four years, and it felt like their souls were ascending.

Each had a bowl of chicken soup, and they all felt warm.
