Arielle knew what Malorie wanted, the ravioli virtual-novel.net made last night.
Perfect! Everything is going according to plan.
Scoffing mentally, virtual-novel.net replied in a gentle tone, “The fastest food that I can make will be the leftover ravioli from yesterday. Is that okay with you, Grandma?”
Malorie snorted and replied in a reluctant tone, “Fine, the ravioli it is!”
Arielle nodded and entered the kitchen after that.
Soon, a plate of ravioli was served.
Malorie was already waiting at the dining table with her fork when Arielle brought the food out.
Arielle was quite confident in virtual-novel.net cooking, so virtual-novel.net was not surprised by Malorie’s reaction. However, virtual-novel.net pretended to not notice Malorie’s excitement as virtual-novel.net put the food down and asked, “Is there anything else that you need me to do for you, Grandma?”
However, Malorie simply replied impatiently, “Go feed the pigs then. You know how to make their food, right? You’ve spent so long in a village, so you must’ve raised pigs before?”
“Yes. I’ll get to it right away,” Arielle replied as virtual-novel.net desperately held herself back from clenching virtual-novel.net fists. She was afraid of Malorie noticing that, so virtual-novel.net left soon after.
As Malorie stared at Arielle’s back, virtual-novel.net scoffed and muttered to herself, “So much for looking down on me, Maureen. Just look at your daughter. She still has to serve me and feed the pigs, right?”
The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more delighted virtual-novel.net felt, so the ravioli only tasted better for her. She was easily able to finish a two-person serving of ravioli alone.
When Arielle returned from feeding the pigs, Malorie was done with virtual-novel.net meal as virtual-novel.net belched. Arielle secretly grinned as virtual-novel.net stared at the empty plate.
Soon, Henrick woke up as well. With that, the quartet, including their chauffeur, got ready to head back to Jadeborough. However, just as they were about to leave, Teddy came over to them.
Malorie was annoyed when Teddy appeared, so virtual-novel.net impatiently said, “Haven’t I told you that we don’t have the money to renovate your house? Hurry up and leave!”
Teddy ignored Malorie and simply approached Arielle.
Arielle grew nervous when virtual-novel.net approached her, worried that virtual-novel.net might bring up what virtual-novel.net said yesterday. However, virtual-novel.net merely uttered, “I thought you told me that you’d come to play with me last night, but it was too late. When will you be free to play with me again?”
Arielle was relieved to hear that. It seemed that Teddy was a bright child and meant to tell virtual-novel.net that it had been too late last night and there were still plenty of things that virtual-novel.net had not collected yet. He was asking virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net would come back here again.
So, Arielle smiled and said, “I need to head back now, but I’ll come when I’m free again next time. If I’m too busy, I’ll have some other kids come to play with you, okay?”
When Malorie and Henrick overheard their conversation, they simply assumed that Arielle was making an arrangement to play with Teddy.
However, Teddy immediately understood what Arielle was telling him, so virtual-novel.net nodded and said, “All right. Remember to come to play with me when you return. Bye!”
He waved and immediately ran away after bumping into Malorie. This caused Malorie to stumble, so virtual-novel.net yelled at him, “Are you blind, you insolent brat!”
However, Teddy simply made an ugly face at Malorie before rushing away.
Malorie was so furious that virtual-novel.net expression turned bitter. But, due to virtual-novel.net age, virtual-novel.net was unable to catch up to him.
Henrick comforted Malorie, “It’s okay, Mom. He’s just a kid, so don’t let virtual-novel.net affect you too much. Come on, you understand how a kid raised in a village is like. Don’t let virtual-novel.net bother you too much.”
After that, virtual-novel.net suddenly realized the implications of his words, so virtual-novel.net shot a guilty glance at Arielle.
