"Are you hungry? Breakfast is ready. But since Briarpatch is so remote and has suffered years of drought, there aren't many fresh fruits and vegetables. The food will be quite simple."
As Manfred asked, he explained the situation.
He knew Vivian wasn't picky about food, but he still felt that now that he had the ability to provide better for her, he didn't want her to settle for less.
Even the slightest discomfort on her part made him uneasy.
Vivian really was a bit hungry. "It's fine. Simple meals are healthier anyway."
In a place like Briarpatch, just having food to eat was already a blessing.
So many displaced people out there couldn't even get a bowl of soup.
"After breakfast, I'll be quite busy. The next couple of days will be hectic. If you get bored, you can ask Kemp or the others to take you out for a walk," Manfred added.
If he had known there would be so much to handle here, he might have assigned someone else to the task.
But then again, coming to Briarpatch had allowed him to see Vivian again, so he didn't regret it in the end.
Vivian nodded. "I can read. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself."
They chatted as they headed to breakfast together. The nearby servants were stunned.
Was Manfred always fond of smiling?
No, that had to be an illusion.
No, wrong again. Manfred only smiled for certain people.
…
One hour later, in another residence, Mabel was in the kitchen, personally preparing a meal.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Can more chapters be uploaded please . I have been anxiously waiting to read more. Thank you...
More chapters please...
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
