    “I don’t know,” said Tessa coldly.


    Even if <i>I </i>knew, I wouldn’t tell <i>him</i>.


    Ethan paused. “If shees back, please tell her I want to see her.”


    Tessa snapped, “Ethan, who do you think you are? You want to see her? Do you even qualify anymore?”


    She is now <i>the </i>beloved princess, raised <i>by </i>both the Scott and Dawson families <i>in </i>Falvaria.


    Such a noble status–what <i>did </i>Ethan have to <b>do </b>with her anymore?


    Ethan fell silent.

    Even his breathing over the phone sounded strained and heavy.


    Obviously, that one sentence, “You don’t qualify,” had shattered everyst bit of superiority he once held over Ste.


    It turned out that I’m the one who is never good enough in the first ce…


    And <i>yet</i><i>, </i>back then, everyone <i>looked </i>down on Ste,


    Tessa almost asked what <b>had </b>happened at the Reed mansion today, but then she thought, what did it matter to me?


    Besides, Ste probably didn’t want to hear about the drama with Ethan anymore.


    So she didn’t ask. She just hung up..


    It wasn’t until she reached the airport that the conversation hit her again.


    <i>Ethan’s </i>tone on <i>the </i>phone… was there a hint of sadness?


    Maybe <i>he </i>wanted to see Ste not because <i>of </i>Lillian but because of something <i>else</i><i>? </i>


    Could the bastard actually regret it now?


    “Stupid mutt.”


    Even <i>if </i><i>he </i>regretted it, it was far toote.


    Meanwhile, on the <b>ne</b>, Abraham’s arm rested on the caging her in.

    Eddie sat stiffly, feeling as if his legs were about to give out.

    Abraham wasn’t human, anyone who dared make a joke about Ste was immediately on his bad side.


    “But I didn’t even say anything bad,” Eddie muttered, feeling wronged.


    Abraham looked up and shot him a cold stare. Eddie instinctively swallowed hard.


    Ste didn’t say a word. She just kept her head down and ate, pretending Eddie didn’t exist.


    Or rather, she couldn’t bear to look at him.


    Victor took a sip of wine.


    Abraham looked at Ste’s tiny mouth full of food and said indulgently, “Slow down, nobody’s stealing it from you.


    <i>Her </i>mouth is originally small enough, and with <b><i>so </i></b>much of foods inside.


    Her cheeks puffed out adorably, and a dark light flickered in his eyes…


    He suddenly had a thought, but the next second he dismissed it.


    He hadn’t even acted on it yet, but he already knew.


    This little girl wouldn’t go along with it.


    Ste had eaten a whole steak, a helping of pasta and a bowl of mashed corn. But she still didn’t seem full.


    Her eyes drifted to the untouched ice cream in front of Abraham.


    Eddie tried to stop himself, but he couldn’t. “Did Derrick really starve you that much?”


    “Mmph-!”


    Seriously, what’s wrong with that<i>? </i>


    Eddie looked over, confused..


    Was it wrong to ask <i>if </i>Ste was really that hungry?


    Victor finished his wine in one gulp and gave Eddie a pitying look. “<b>Ask </b>what you want, but why drag Derrick into this?”


    “I mean, wasn’t Ste starving when she was with him? Hey, by the way, is Derrick broke now?”


    <i>Broke </i>enough that <i>he </i>couldn’t even afford food<i>? </i>Is that how Ste ended up like this?

    “Don’t drag me into your death wish, thank you.”


    This Eddie is insane. I’m really speechless.


    Eddie shrugged. “I was just curious. He’s been hunted by your brother for years. Probably spent at fortune just to stay alive.


    Ste lowered her head. ignoring himpletely.


    This Eddie, if the bruises on his legs had healed yet? Apparently he’d already forgotten how painful <i>they </i>


    Maybe he is born to dig his own grave.


    Ste was starving and craving everything.


    But Abraham wouldn’t let her eat the ice cream. He was afraid it would upset her stomach.


    She mayin about stomach painster.


    Finally, someone made her a pot of fruit tea. She hugged the oversized cup and drank half of it before finally feeling full.


    “When do we leave?”


    She looked up at Abraham


    Just then. Abel walked over. “Mr. Abraham.”


    Abraham looked at his watch. “When are we leaving?”


    There was an incident at the airport. Some unknown force broke in, and now it’s total chaos.


    Ste’s heart skipped a beat.


    She looked at Abel in shock. “What do you mean by chaos?”


    “Localw enforcement is shing with this group. We need a little more time before we can leave.
