Neil was stunned. He thought Aurelia would ask for something big. It turned out she only wanted to eat something good.
The streets filled with criminals came to mind. The filthy and small basement, the nomads who were dancing and singing at the square… He had never thought there were people who would live like that in the world.
They strived to live.
He felt terrible. He lifted his eyes softly and looked into Aurelia’s eyes which were filled with excitement.
He stretched his arm to pat her head and squeezed out a word. “Sure.”
Aurelia was over the moon. She was going to eat after having a good sleep. Life was so good!
Soon, someone sent the food to the room. It was cooked by the top chef of the hotel. This meal was even better than the ones she had had throughout the two days she had been working.
Aurelia could not hold back, and her eyes lit up. When she picked up the cutlery to dig in, she suddenly stopped.
She got off the bed carefully and made the bed. She then brought food to the table.
Neil was confused. “The food was served to your bed. Just eat it there. Why did you get off the bed?”
“What if I dirty the bed? It’s such a great bed. I can’t bear to dirty it!” She picked up a piece of pan-fried salmon and ate it. She complimented in excitement. “Mm! It’s good, it’s so good!”
Neil shook his head while chuckling. He could not understand why this girl cared so much about the bed. They could just get someone to clean it if it was dirty.
Aurelia could not understand him either. To him, it seemed like everything was unworthy. He did not care about anything.
“Slow down, don’t choke!” Neil handed her a glass of water and a napkin.
He did not realize that he had been having a maid adding pepper to his food for him. Now he had to serve a girl, peeling the shrimps and picking out fish bones for her.
They preferred different cuisines. Aurelia was clumsy—she just could not pick up the meatball.
Neil smiled and fed it to her.
She bit into it, even biting the spoon.
The meatball was so good that she was sent to cloud nine.
