The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 395

Claire suddenly remembered something and went back to grab another one. “I just really love it. Durian is the king of fruit. It’s so good.”

“It might smell bad to you, but other people think it smells great.”

The woman helping out with the durian joined in, “That’s true. Some people can’t handle it, but a lot of folks love it.”

“It’s like stinky tofu,” she said, “smells gross, tastes amazing.”

The mention of stinky tofu made Octavia wrinkle her nose even more. She couldn’t stand that kind of junk food.

“You’re not starting to eat stinky tofu now, are you?” Octavia asked. Even though she had sent her adopted daughter away, she had raised Claire for eighteen years. Some habits were hard to break—especially her disapproval of what Claire put in her mouth.

Octavia still wanted to have the last word when it came to things like this.

“But you’re not really going to tell me what I can and can’t eat anymore, are you?” Claire looked right at her.

Octavia hesitated. She knew it wasn’t her place now. Claire wasn't her daughter anymore.

“I just meant it’s not good for you.” She tried to soften her tone. “Just a suggestion. Do whatever you want.” It was obvious even to Octavia herself that Claire wasn’t going to listen.

“Cindy, let’s go. Did you pick something out?” she asked, changing the subject.

Cindy nodded. “Yes, Mom.”
