Chapter 325 The Hardest Ones to Get Are the Best


Upon hearing that Rowena had arrived, Cormac suddenly felt an uncomfortable restlessness, as if he were sitting on pins and needles. He wanted to get up and leave, but doing so would be very impolite. However, Cormac anticipated that if he were to sit down and eat with Rowena, the already awkward atmosphere would escalate to its peak, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the meal. So Cormac was in a bit of a dilemma.

"Rowena, you're here?" Stellan greeted her warmly upon her arrival. She then quickly instructed Mia, "Mia, bring another set of utensils." "Okay, Stellan."

"No need, Stellan. I just had some free time today and wanted to drop by. I won't stay for dinner; I'll leave in a bit," Rowena said.

"You're already here. Why leave?" Stellan quickly seated Rowena, saying, "I know you celebrities are disciplined about your diet, but you're already so thin. No need to skip dinner to lose weight. Take a seat." Stellan even specifically arranged for Rowena to sit opposite Cormac. Since the act had gone this far, Rowena calmly sat down and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

"That's more like it. We're best friends now. How could I let you leave without sharing a meal when you've come to visit me?" Stellan said.

Rowena just smiled.

After that, Cormac kept his head down, eating, completely avoiding eye contact. Stellan kept giving Rowena meaningful looks, while Aurora, Caspian, Harry, and Elisa were all anxiously watching.

In such an atmosphere, Rowena really didn't know how to take the initiative, so she could only chat idly with Stellan. "Stellan, how is Alaric doing now?"

"He's still the same, just hasn't woken up yet, but it's only a matter of time," Stellan said.

"Glad to hear that," Rowena replied.

"And you? Have you been busy with work lately?" Stellan asked pointedly.

"No, ever since the last incident, all my engagements have been canceled. I'm just resting now, and I don't know when I'll start working again," Rowena said.
