Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 353

The silence in the room felt heavy with no one daring to speak No one could tell hose long it had been finally, Plete broke the silence. “It’s not every day that we’re all here together How abom ser quake wume nnitse? A housewarming party

When no one replied, Phoebe glanced at Elysia, her eyes pleading silently for help

The tension in the air was unbearable.

I Elysia didn’t say something soon, Phoebe might just burst into tears.

Seeing Phoebe’s desperate look, Elysia cleared her throat, trying to ease the tension. “Usually, it’s just Phoebe and me. He can’t exactly throw a party with just the two of us. But with my brothers here today, it’s the perfect time to liven things up

Holden raised an eyebrow, glancing up at her. “What kind of fun are you talking about, Elyse?”

Elysia looked at Phoebe, her mind spinning. Then, it hit her. “How about we make some seafood stew?”

“Here? In the house?” Holden asked, surprised.

Elysia replied, “Of course. What, you don’t trust my cooking?”

Fabian finally looked up, his deep eyes softening. “We trust you, Elysia. It’s just… Cooking can be a lot of work. I don’t want you to wear yourself out.”

Elysia smiled warmly. “I’m not tired at all. Cooking for people I care about is actually a lot of fun.”

Her expression turned serious as she spoke, and Fabian’s heart softened. He had planned to just order takeout, but seeing her so eager to cook, he reconsidered.

“Fabian,” Elysia said with a little pout, “don’t you want to try the seafood stew I make?”

Fabian’s smile grew fond. “As long as it’s made by you, Elysia, I’ll love it no matter what.”

He added with a playful grin, “Alright, you’re in charge this time. But next time? No cooking. A girl’s hands shouldn’t be used for washing dishes or slaving over a stove.”

Elysia’s lips curled into a small smile, her eyes twinkling. She ignored his comment about the dishes, focusing only on the first part.

After Fabian’s agreement, a wave of relief washed over her. This was enough for her.

Phoebe’s grin stretched across her face, and she couldn’t help but think, ‘Finally, the tension was broken. Elysia really knows how to fix things when it gets this awkward.

But then, thinking about Elysia’s seafood stew, Phoebe felt her mouth water. She remembered the last time she had tasted it -the base of the stew was amazing, a flavor she could still recall perfectly. It had left her craving more ever since.
