As soon as she saw Steing down the stairs, Evelyn shot the butler a look. “Go on. Do it. And is the tonic soup ready yet?”
“All done, ma’am,” the butler replied respectfully.
Evelyn walked toward <b>Ste</b>. When she spotted Abraham, she gave him a sharp re, clearly annoyed.
She had definitely found out he’d gone back to Ste’s roomst night.
But after one look, she dropped it and <b>tugged </b>Ste toward her. <b>“</b><b>Ste</b><b>, </be.”
“Mom,” Ste called out sweetly, her voice soft and sugary.
It melted Evelyn’s heart instantly.
She pulled Ste toward the dining room. “You must be hungry. I had the kitchen make your favorite soup and snacks.
“Thank you, Mom.”
The Dawson family kitchen’s snacks had always been Ste’s favorite.
Back when Evelyn and Abraham were both busy, Ste used to snack on those while waiting for them toe home.
When the servants saw her up, they rushed to bring out all the prepared dishes.
The familiar shape of the snacks, the rich aroma of the soup–it all felt warm andforting.
In Rivermount, Ste had hated how nd everything tasted.
But now that she was home, everything seemed delicious again.
Evelyn began serving her a few side dishes. “You should eat as much as you can.”
“She doesn’t have a strong stomach. Don’t let her eat too much,” Abraham said calmly, sitting beside Ste.
He wasn’t wrong.
Ste could eat a lot, but her stomach wasn’t great. Overeating would make her ufortable.
Evelyn gave him another side–eye. “I don’t need you <i>to </i>tell me that. I know.”
“Don’t let her overdo <i>it</i>.”
“She barely ate anything the past few days. If she wants to eat now, she should.”
“That’s exactly why she shouldn’t eat too much all at once.”
Evelyn huffed. “Seriously? You’re not done yet? What’s wrong with the baby eating a little more?”
“I’m fine, Mom. I can eat whatever,” Ste jumped in quickly, grabbing Evelyn’s arm to stop her from getting even more riled <ol><li>up. </li></ol>
Evelyn gave Abraham another pointed re.
“It’s just soup. It won’t upset her stomach.”
She knew Ste had had a tough time eating properly thosest few <b>days </b>in Rivermount.
In Evelyn’s mind, if her daughter felt like eating now, they needed to make sure she ate <b>well</b>.
But Abraham just had to butt heads with her.
“<b>Ste</b>, eat up,” Evelyn said gently as she served more food into <b>her </b>bowl.
