Helga rolled her eyes disdainfully at Rhea.
Rhea’s nails almost dug into her palms, her cheeks burning with anger.

He used to love playing with Rhea the most. Now, with just the two of them in the villa, no one was there to supervise or stop them, yet Orion couldn’t even feel happy.

Helga smiled smugly and helped Orion to his seat and served him.
Rhea held back her frustration, about to sit down and cat, only to notice that the tableware was set for Orion alone.
