Grace’s lips twitched as she forced out a stiff smile that never reached her eyes. “I’m glad you like it,

Thalia.”

“Oh, come now, why are you still calling her ‘Thalia‘?” Victoria said with a mischievous smile. “Shouldn’t you be calling her ‘sister–in–law‘ by now?”

Grace opened her mouth, her face tense. “It’s a difficult habit to break.”

“Asher, try this grilled lamb,” Thalia said, spearing a perfectly cooked piece with her fork and offering it

to him.

She was using the same fork she’d just eaten with.

Asher didn’t seem to mind in the slightest, obediently accepting the morsel from Thalia.

A cold light flashed in Grace’s eyes as she clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white.

“Delicious,” Asher said, his eyes crinkling with genuine pleasure.

Thalia smiled back, her eyes forming happy crescents.

Thalia pretended not to notice Grace’s thunderous expression and asked cheerfully: “Sister, would you like some lamb? I’ve just grilled it, and your brother says it’s quite good.”

“No, thank you,” Grace replied coldly before turning away.

Thalia and Victoria exchanged meaningful glances across the table, both smiling knowingly.

Charlotte suppressed a laugh, giving Thalia a discreet thumbs–up.

Asher knew Thalia had been deliberately putting on a show for Grace’s benefit, and he had played along perfectly. Now that Grace had left, he still wanted to continue their affectionate display.

His eyes sparkled with amusement. “Lia, I’d like to try those barbecued chicken wings. Would you feed

Thalia looked at him with amused exasperation. “If you want some, you can serve yourself.”

“Are you serious, mate?” Sebastian laughed heartily. “Has being in love reduced you to needing to be spoon–fed? Is this really the Asher Blackwood we all know?”

Asher leaned back in his chair, his eyes glinting with good humor. “Jealous, are you? Why don’t you ask your girlfriend to feed you? Oh wait–you don’t have one, do you?”
