Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 36

In the kitchen, everything being prepared was her favorite.

Initially, Stella had insisted she wasn't hungry, but as she descended the stairs, the familiar aroma wafted towards her, halting her steps. It was the taste of home. Adapting to the culinary landscape of Portis City over the past two years had been a challenge for her.

Taking a bite of the comfort food, she found herself unable to stop, polishing off four plates of food and two bowls of soup!

The staff were astonished at her appetite.

The landline rang.

The butler briskly walked over to answer it; it was Ronald on the line inquiring about Stella.

Without thinking, the butler glanced towards the dining area, "Ms. Quinn has woken up and is currently having her meal."

"Appetite? Oh, quite good indeed, she's had four plates already."

Stella was like, "..."

Had she really eaten that much? She had never indulged like this during her three years in Portis City!

The content of the conversation on the other end was unknown. After hanging up, the butler hurried back, "Mr. Quinn says you shouldn't eat any more."

Upon hearing his words, Stella, who had been eyeing another piece of fish, cast a puzzled glance at the butler.
