Chapter 2058: Critical Condition

Joyce was held by the wrist by Clint. Under his roof, she had no choice but to comply. Here, everything was dictated by him, even though she wasn't hungry at all.

Clint led Joyce to the dining hall, which was in a separate building connected to the main residence by a long corridor with transparent glass designs and lotus patterns on the floor. The dining area had its own unique charm.

Upon arriving, they found that the meal was already prepared. The long table was laden with nearly fifty or sixty different dishes, offering a wide variety of choices. Clint took his seat at the head of the table and gestured for Joyce to sit as well.

Joyce sat down without hesitation and immediately picked up a fork, selecting a dozen dishes and devouring them hungrily. The maid, who was originally prepared to serve the meal, stood in shock at Joyce's lack of decorum. Her eating habits were far from what one would expect of a refined lady.

Clint watched Joyce eat with amusement, a smile playing on his lips. He knew she was doing it on purpose. This wasn't the first time they had dined together; she understood dining etiquette but chose not to follow it, wanting his staff to think poorly of her.

The maid glanced at Clint for approval before stepping forward to serve him. Clint ate slowly and elegantly, savoring each bite while watching Joyce eat her fill.

Suddenly, Clint coughed lightly. Joyce looked up with food still in her mouth and mumbled, "Is your cold not better yet? Have you not been taking your medicine these past few days?"
