Chapter 116 Not knowing what to say, Margaret decided to keep quiet.

There were two plates of grilled prawns for dinner. Elizabeth even intentionally placed the prawns in front of Margaret as she served all the dishes on the dining table. Then Margaret began her feast by peeling off the shells one by one while Christopher elegantly sipped some hot soup from a small bowl.

By the look of her, he could barely tell that she was suffering from gastritis since her appetite was remarkably good. In fact, he started to wonder if she had other sicknesses.
