Chapter 549

Maeve paused for a moment, a flicker of surprise crossing her bright eyes.

She pondered, 'Aiden Soar... His surname is Soar. Could he be rated to the Soar family?

She extended her hand, shaking his briefly. A coolness, colder than usual, seeped from his fingertips, making her involuntarily shiver.

Aiden noticed the reaction and quickly withdrew his hand, a hint of curiosity in his gaze. "You seem to have heard of me?"

Aiden smiled faintly, not pressing further.

Maeve led him into the dining area, where it was buffet-style. Guests had to serve themselves, but the food was exceptional.

The modified recipes for several main dishes had been Maeve's gift to Esme.

She pointed out which dishes were particularly good and which ones were limited, requiring an early arrival to get them, all- while filling her own plate.

Seeing her heap her plate so high, Aiden couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried you won't be able to finish all that?"

In his experience, whether it was his sister or the women he usually interacted with, they all had to strictly monitor their calorie intake, making even an extra bite feel like a sin.

But that didn't seem to apply to Maeve.
