18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 288

No one knew exactly who smuggled them out, but Austin knew that all the fish hatchlings from the agricultural department could be acquired if you had the right contacts.

Austin exchanged for the fish with supplies, probably after some transactions, so it really wasn't cheap. There was some leftover spices from yesterday, so Stella decided to make a fish stew. Rosie was diligent, with Dylan assisting her.

When Stella wasn't looking, Dylan slipped a small pack of chocolate-covered almonds into Rosie's pocket. Snacks were too precious and Rosie didn't want any.

"Rosie, I saved these especially for you. We have more at home." As he said this, he peeled one and placed it in her mouth, "Is it sweet?"

"Mmm." Rosie smiled at him, "You're so nice, Dylan."

Encouraged by her praise, Dylan was overjoyed, whispering into her ear, "I only gave one to the others."

By "the others", he was referring to the adults' children.

Rosie, being singled out for special treatment, was pleased. "After dinner, I'll teach you some boxing, Dylan."

"Sure!" Dylan squatted next to her, helping with the chores. "The water's too cold, Rosie. Let me do it." Father and son, both inept in the kitchen, relished the creamy fish stew, and they were extremely content.

"Dad, the fish head Rosie made is really good."

Austin corrected his son, "Nonsense, Stella made it."

"Rosie fried the fish, and I helped with the veggies."

"Really? You can do that now? You're amazing, son."

As they chatted and ate, Austin noticed Stella's glowing complexion and asked, "Some wealthy ladies have been looking for skincare products. So you have a supplier?" Actually, she did have quite a few stashed away in Arcadia.
