The Scent of 87

Chapter 87

Although Martha spoke sternly, she still shot a glare at Trevor.

Trevor remained unfazed and didn’t react. He didn’t need another reminder; he simply picked up a dish and placed some food on Celeste’s plate.

Celeste responded, “Thank you.”

Martha then mentioned that she had brought a variety of health supplements for them. After dinner, she planned to personally oversee the preparation of some nourishing soups for Celeste and Trevor.

Celeste couldn’t refuse and could only nod in agreement.

Martha had spent time in Yorkhaven in her younger years and had mastered the art of making rich, slow–cooked broths.

Jordyn and Trevor were also there–one focused on her Artisan’s Puzzle, the other on his phone, busy with work. The room was silent.

She was so focused that she didn’t even notice when Martha walked out of the kitchen.
