Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

za stared at the screen for two seconds when she received another update.

Cabin bad posted on his Moments grain

A man who rarely posted on social media, Calvin had posted twice in the past three months, and both times the posts had been related to Medea

This time, de wished everyone a Happy New Year, and the picture he shared was of fireworks

Medea almot immediately replied. “Happy New Year.”

It seemed like they had agreed to post at the same time.

Elira didn’t care whether Calvin had replied to Medea or what he said.

She simply left the app, deleted both of them from her contacts, and closed the chapter. She just wanted peace and quiet.

The first day of the new year, workaholic Elira took a rare day off.

She turned down several invitations, bought some supplements, and decided to visit her mother, Ottilie.

After leaving Everest, she had thrown herself entirely into her work, barely having time to visit her mother.

So she woke up early and arrived home by 7:30 AM.

Ottilie had a regular routine, and 7:30 was the time she usually had breakfast.

“Eliza intended to have breakfast with her mother, so as soon as she entered, she excitedly called, “Mom, I’m back!”

There was no one in the living room, but she heard some noise coming from the kitchen.

It seemed like someone was cooking.

Eliza dropped her things and rushed to the kitchen. “Mom, what’s cooking?”

As soon as she spoke, her expression froze.

It wasn’t Ottilie in the kitchen.

It was someone she never expected.

Calvin, who had just finished ladling the black bone chicken soup into a bowl, turned off the stove and calmly replied, “I don’t think calling me ‘mom is quite right, is it?”

“Maybe a different term of endearment would be more fun

Eliza’s good mood from the morning vanished in an instant.

Her smile quickly faded, and all that remained was a cold expression “What are you doing here?”

Calvin took a bowl from the cupboard slowly, poured the chicken soup into it, and didn’t answer immediately

Eliza, who had not gotten an answer, grew impatient. Her face darkened, and she directly ordered him, “This place doesn’t welcome you. Please

leave.”

Calvin acted as if he hadn’t heard her, calmly taking the soup spoon and placing it in the bowl before handing it to Eliza. “Try the taste.”

Eliza wasn’t in the mood to eat. She just wanted him gone!

Before she could repeat her order to leave, Ottilie returned.

“Calv, I went downstairs and picked some fresh chicken vegetable leaves. These will be perfect for porridge.”

Ottilie didn’t notice Eliza right away. When she saw her, she was surprised. “Eliza, didn’t you go on a business trip?”

“I…”

Eliza didn’t know how to answer her.

“Calv said you’ve been so busy with work that you didn’t even have time off during New Year’s.”

Ottilie said this as she handed the basket of vegetables to Calvin, who took it and went back into the kitchen.

Ottilie pulled Eliza to the sofa and gave her a careful once–over, saying, “You’ve lost more weight! No matter how busy you are with work, you have to take care of your health.”

“I’m dieting.”

“That’s always your excuse! You’re already skinny, what more weight do you need to lose?”

Eliza’s mind wasn’t on this conversation. She glanced at the kitchen several times and couldn’t help but ask, “Why is he here?”

“Didn’t Calvin tell you?” Ottilie was even more surprised. “Maybe he didn’t tell you because you’ve been busy, but recently, he’s been visiting me

often.”

Eliza was silent for a moment,

“1 ”

…

She suddenly felt a bit confused about Calvin. What was he playing at?

“Mom, I and he…”

Eliza felt uncomfortable and was about to clarify things with Ottilie.

But before she could continue, Calvin poked his head out from the kitchen and said, “Auntie, I’ve fixed the water filter. You should try it out and see if it works. If not, we can replace it.”

“Ah, thank you again,” Ottilie said as she headed back to the kitchen to try it.

“It’s nothing. Very simple,” Calvin replied. “I also replaced the socket for you. The old one was inconvenient. The new one has a switch, so you can turn it off when you’re not using it, no need to stretch up to plug and unplug it.”

“That’s wonderful, thank you so much!”

“Of course, Auntie, don’t mention it. The soup’s ready; you two should drink it while it’s hot.”

Ottilie, in a good mood, smiled even more than usual.

This made Eliza choke on her words.

The breakfast was plentiful. In addition to the ginseng black bone chicken soup, there was also a nourishing vegetable porridge.

Eliza, under Ottilie’s supervision, drank two bowls of soup and one bowl of porridge, feeling incredibly stuffed.

After breakfast, Ottilie had Eliza wash the dishes, while Calvin said he’d do it.

But Ottilie stopped him, saying, “You made the meal, so she should wash the dishes. You sit down and relax.”

While washing the dishes, Eliza suddenly felt a familiar cramping pain in her abdomen.

Her period had arrived early!

She hadn’t been prepared for it, and the pain was so intense that she broke into a cold sweat, dropping a dish in the process.

Calvin was the first to rush in. “Are you hurt?”

As he spoke, he quickly moved her away from the broken pieces, looking extremely worried that she might get cut.

Eliza, too focused on the pain in her abdomen, didn’t care to maintain distance. She was awkwardly held by Calvin and placed on the sofa.

“What’s going on?” Ottilie asked, full of concern.

“My stomach hurts…” Eliza said, breaking into a cold sweat.

For some reason, this pain was especially intense this time.
