The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 606 Burning Up

Abraham continued, “The kitchen’s had your dietary restrictions for a while now.”

Stella blinked in surprise.

Well, naturally. Abraham wasn’t the kind of guy who overlooked stuff like that.

If it was a genuine accident, maybe–maybe–he’d let it slide. But if someone knew better and still messed up? That was a whole different story.

“Still feeling sick?”

“I’m fine now. Just make sure Abel keeps an eye on Marie.”

Ella was Morris’s fiancée, after all. The family backing her wasn’t one to underestimate.

Abraham scoffed. “Even Morris wouldn’t dare stir up trouble here. Ella’s nothing.”

Stella blinked again.

He had a point.

She thought back to the footage–Morris’s crew had gotten wrecked. As long as they were in Falvaria, Marie was untouchable.

That thought gave Stella some peace of mind.

Because of her picky appetite, Abraham had punished the kitchen staff earlier today, and by the afternoon, the butler had already called an emergency meeting.

Now that Stella could finally eat something she actually liked, if they screwed up again, it wouldn’t just be a three–day pay cut -people would start losing jobs.

Everyone in the Dawson family knew–Stella meant the world to Abraham.

After lunch.

Stella had been running around all morning. Now she just wanted a nap.

Abraham was sitting on the living room couch reviewing some urgent files, while Stella curled up beside him, resting her head on his lap, slowly drifting off.

He looked down and saw her lips pressed together, her lashes drooping with exhaustion.
