The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1602

He had liked Claire the moment he laid eyes on her.

She hadn't tried to curry favor with him; their bond just felt incredibly natural.

She was far more decisive and straightforward than Cindy, which was exactly why Stephen appreciated her.

The daughters of The James Family didn't necessarily have to be perfect at everything.

But with a legendary figure like Pandora preceding them, the family naturally held slightly higher expectations for Claire.

Claire had no idea what Stephen was thinking. All she knew was that she was starving and exhausted.

Dane had already arranged their meals and was currently leading her outside.

The recommendation came from a hospital nurse.

Dane had asked the staff where they usually went for a good meal around town.

The nurses had been incredibly enthusiastic, recommending a rustic little restaurant tucked away in an alley.

It didn't have many tables, but the interior was decorated with an exotic flair.

Dane had initially planned to order takeout and have it delivered to the hospital.

However, the restaurant suggested they eat in person.

Their signature dishes tasted infinitely better when served fresh out of the kitchen.

Hearing that, Dane barely hesitated before agreeing.

The moment Claire stepped out of surgery, he had Brooks Green call the restaurant to put in their order.

Sure enough, by the time they arrived, most of their food was already prepared.

The natural wood tables and the flower-filled dining room instantly put them at ease.

The plating on the table was exquisitely detailed.

"Try this truffle soup, and the seared steak with mushrooms. They're the signature dishes here, and they taste incredible."

Dane continuously served her food, while Claire focused entirely on eating.

Having been starved for so long, she devoured her meal like a whirlwind.

Yet, despite her speed, she didn't look messy in the slightest; her graceful table manners shone through.
