Chapter 483 Marie Has Zero Chill
Ste went quiet.
When she heard Evelyn mention “what’s in your belly,” her chest gave a little jolt.
Just after Abraham had pulled her out of Evelyn’s arms, she dove right back into them.
“Mom.”
Her <b>voice </b>caught with a sob.

She really didn’t me me… <b>All </b>the worries she’ll carried back <b>in </b><b>Rivermount </b>hadpletely vanished in that moment.
“Why are you crying <b>again</b>? Don’t cry, don’t cry–you’re not a child anymore.”
Crying was for kids.
J–1 thought you’d be mad at me,” Ste <b>said</b>.
<b>She </b><b>had </b>gotten together with Abraham just like <b>that</b>–she had truly been afraid Evelyn wouldn’t take it well.
And it was precisely because Evelyn <b>had </b>been so <b>good </b>to her all these years that she had kept her feelings <b>for </b>Abraham tucked away so carefully,
Especially during her time in Rivermount–she’d seen enough.
Susan had doted on Lillian so
much.
But even then, she had never once thought about Lillian and Jonathan being a <b>thing</b>…
So in Ste’s heart, she hade to believe that this kind of rtionship simply wasn’t one people would ept.
“Why would I be mad at you? Isn’t <b>this </b><b>a </b><b>good </b>thing? Back then, I worried about you all the time.”
At this, Evelyn let out a long sigh
“You were so delicate. If you grew up and married into some other family and got bullied, then <b>what</b><b>?</b>”
Granted, Ste’s temperament <b>had </b>been well–shaped by the Dawson family.
But still, Evelyn had worried.
Compared to Marie, Ste was much more likely to get picked on.
<b>And </b>sure enough, things had turned out exactly the way Evelyn had predicted–those people in Rivermount had bullied <b>her</b>.
Ste was even more touched. “Mom.”
“No I
to more crying, okay? Be good. After you eat, have the med team <b>give </b>you a full checkup”
Evelynforted her patiently.
She even shot Abraham a fierce re, ming him for not exining things to Ste properly earlier.
Look how worried she got.
Sure enough, being away for so long had changed things; even Ste had worried about how she’d take the news. What was there to worry about? I raised her myself. No one knows her temperament better than I do.
Ste nodded obediently. “Okay.”
After a few more soothing <b>words</b>, Evelyn led her over to the dining table.

The housekeepers had already set the table–it waspletely covered with food.
All of Ste’s favorite dishes from when she used to <b>live </b>in <b>Falvaria</b><b>. </b>
Evelyn kept piling food onto her te. “Star, I made this one myself today.”
“Mhm.”
Ste nodded sweetly.
She used her fork to pick up a piece of tbread and took a bite. “Mom, your cooking is still amazing”

Who would’ve guessed <b>that </b>Evelyn–the tough,manding woman out in the world, the only daughter of the Luke family -would also know her way around the kitchen?
And not just that–what she <b>made </b>was seriously delicious.
Ste loved the way her mom’s cooking tasted.
“I heard that after you went to Rivermount, you especially liked eating broth. I thought maybe <b>you </b>didn’t like these anymore,” Evelyn said.
“I do. I do I love all of it”
It was just that, over in Rivermount, those in <b>dishes </b>hadn’t been very tasty.
The only things she really liked over there were the broth and the barbecue. People naturally gravitate toward what they enjoy eating
But no matter how much tastes might change, the vors from home were <b>never </b>truly gone from her heart.

You might get
And Ste had clearly been craving them.
“This soup is amazing, she said.
After one sip of the soup Evelyn had made herself, Ste’s whole face lit up with satisfaction. It really was that good.
Evelynughed…
For anyone who <b>cooked</b>, the greatestfort was having someone enjoy it.
“If it’s good, drink up. You haven’t been eating properlytely, so you have to eat more today.”
As Ste sipped her soup, she asked, “Mom, how do you know everything? Did you know what I’ve been up to all these years in Rivermount too?”
If she even knew about her poor eating habits, then she must’ve grown eyes on her or something.
Evelyn’s expression froze for a moment at the question.
“Your mom’s not that magical. You sneaky girl really knew how to hide. Picked <b>that </b>kind of ce to disappear to. Getting bullied and still didn’t think toe home.”
Any time Rivermount came up, it <b>always </b>circled back to how the Reed family had treated Ste.
Back then, Evelyn really hadn’t known that Ste had gone to Rivermount–there were so many ces to go abroad Who would’ve guessed she’d end up somewhere with apletely differentnguage?
But she had seriously underestimated Ste’s ability to learn. In just two or three years, Ste had mastered the <b>local </bnguage there.
