Chapter 485
As soon as the elders entered, they greeted Daniel eagerly and asked him if he was settling down comfortably here.
Daniel was facing them with his side. His good–looking side profile was cold and beautiful. Even the elders were stunned.
This Daniel was really good–looking.
Daniel was curled up on the sofa lazily. His half–squinted eyes were deep. and charming.
“I love it here,” he said. “It’s given me an unexpected but delightful surprise.”
Wow, such a high evaluation!
The few elders looked at each other. They had not expected Daniel to give such a high evaluation.
The Lopez Family’s First Elder said, “I wonder if dinner is to Daniel’s taste? Lucy and the others specially cooked a few dishes for you.”
Upon hearing this, Daniel did not answer. Instead, he glanced at Braeden Lopez with a little coldness.
Braeden instantly felt uneasy and did not know how to respond. It was Lucy who said apologetically, “Grandpa, we didn’t cook for Daniel.”
“What’s going on?” Braeden’s expression changed.
The other elders also looked over in surprise.
Lucy first smiled shyly at Daniel, then explained in a low voice, “We were preparing dinner in the kitchen, but halfway through, the Saintess went in…
“She…” Lucy made to say something but hesitated as if she was too embarrassed to criticize others.
Irene, on the other hand, couldn’t stand the grievance and interrupted, “Lucy, don’t save face for the Saintess. Daniel, you don’t know this, but the Saintess was very domineering. As soon as she came in, she called all the servants away and didn’t leave any for us, making it impossible for us.
to cook.”
After saying that, she looked at Daniel with a resentful and expectant gaze.
Daniel ignored her and lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was
thinking
After listening to Irene’s complaint, Dolph, First Elder of the Flores larrilly, couldn’t sit still. He really hadn’t expected the Saintess to be so domineering, nor had he expected Irene and the others to complain.
It was obvious that the other three families had joined forces to lay a trap for him.
He had to think of a way. He could not let Daniel misunderstand the Saintess and think that she was arrogant.
Just as Dolph Flores was sweating profusely from anxiety, Daniel spoke. He let out a low laugh, his eyes dark and beautiful. “I hadn’t expected the Saintess to be so thoughtful towards me, and thus requiring so many people for the dishes she prepared.”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and turned to Irene and the others, who were in a daze from confusion, and said in a comforting tone, “I know that you can’t compare to the Saintess in terms of thoughtfulness, but I’m not picky about these things. Just let the chef prepare the three meals.”
Irene was about to cry!
She was clearly here to complain. How did it become that her feelings were inferior to Berry’s?
Lucy and the others were also shocked. They had not expected Daniel to think this way. She stammered, “Dan… Daniel, don’t you think the Saintess is too domineering?”
Daniel glanced over indifferently and asked, “Can’t you cook without servants? Don’t you have hands? You’re so thoughtless and yet falsely accuse others. I don’t expect to eat the dishes you made yourself, but I don’t like people like you who clearly don’t want to do it yourself but still find all kinds of reasons to take credit.
“Hypocrite!”
That lightly enunciated word of judgment made Lucy and the others. blush in frustration.
They wanted to explain, but they did not know how. It was indeed as Daniel had said. Even without servants, they had their own hands. Couldn’t they have done it themselves?
