Chapter 306

Seeing Stephanie, Lottie gave the butler a look. “Go on, and make sure the prenatal supplements are ready, okay?”

“All ready, ma’am.” The butler nodded respectfully.

Lottie walked towards Stephanie, giving Sebastian a sideways glance, clearly displeased about him going to Stephanie’s room last night. With just one look, she withdrew her gaze and pulled Stephanie over. “Come here, Stefi.”

“Morning, Lottie,” Stephanie called softly, her voice sweet enough to melt Lottie’s heart.

Lottie led her to the dining room. “Are you hungry? I had the kitchen make the oatmeal and snacks you love.”

“Thanks, Lottie.” The snacks from the Giovanni family’s cook were Stephanie’s favorite. Whenever Lottie and Sebastian were busy outside, she’d nibble on some treats while waiting for them.

The servant saw Stephanie and quickly had the prepared meals brought out. The snacks had their familiar look, along with the creamy oatmeal.

When in Long Harbor, because of the taste differences, Stephanie didn’t like the bland food there at all. But back home, everything seemed so tasty.

Lottie placed a forkful of side dish on the small plate in front of her. “You should try to eat a bit more now.”

“She has a weak stomach and can’t eat too much,” Sebastian said as he sat down next to Stephanie, gently reminding her. It was true. Even though Stephanie had a big appetite, her stomach wasn’t very strong, and overeating made her uncomfortable.

Lottie gave Sebastian another glance upon hearing these words. “I don’t need you to remind me, I know.”

Sebastian insisted, “Don’t let her eat too much.”

Lottie huffed, “She hasn’t been eating much these days; she should eat well when she can.”

Sebastian said, “It’s precisely because she hasn’t been eating much recently that she shouldn’t eat too much now.”

Lottie rolled her eyes. “Hey, are you still not finished? What’s wrong with her eating a bit more?”

Stephanie interjected in a hurry, “Lottie, I’m really fine with anything.” Seeing Lottie getting worked up, Stephanie quickly grabbed her.

Hearing Stephanie’s words, Lottie gave Sebastian a look. “It’s just oatmeal; eating more won’t hurt.”

Lottie felt for Stephanie, knowing how tough pregnancy was for her at the moment and that she couldn’t eat well in their last few days in Long Harbor. So, in her view, as long as Stephanie wanted to eat, she should be allowed to eat well.

Yet Sebastian was still opposing her. “Stefi, eat up,” Lottie said as she placed more food on Stephanie’s plate.

Stephanie took a sip of the oatmeal, and it tasted really good. “Mmm, this oatmeal tastes great,” she said, savoring it.

As soon as he heard her say that, Sebastian realized she was going to eat nonstop today. Just as he thought, she finished three bowls of oatmeal, not to mention the snacks and side dishes.

By the time Stephanie started her second bowl, Sebastian was about to say something to stop her, but Lottie shot him a glare, silencing him instantly.

“Stefi really shouldn’t eat too much,” he finally blurted out.
