The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 316

Ferris brought Lucille food?

Not just lunch, but breakfast too?

Lucille's casual revelation left me utterly stunned. I stared at her in disbelief. "Mom, are you sure you didn't mix something up?"

How could it possibly be Ferris?

From last night to this morning, our interactions had devolved far beyond 'unpleasant.' The memory of him humiliating me in front of his darling was still seared into my brain.

Why on earth would he go out of his way to bring premium takeout for Lucille?

"He handed it to me himself. How could I mix that up? I'm still young, my vision is perfectly fine. Plus, with a face as handsome as his, I couldn't mistake him for someone else even if I tried." Lucille shot me an exasperated look, then paused. "Though I did notice he looked a bit grim. He didn't seem too happy. Tell me, how exactly did you try to coax him last night?"

Lucille wasn't wrong. A face like Ferris's was impossible to misidentify. Very few people existed in his league of attractiveness, making a mix-up entirely out of the question.

So, Ferris really did bring Lucille food?

That explained how she managed to get takeout from an exclusive restaurant that didn't do delivery. It was entirely due to his connections.

But why would Ferris bring her food?

I had to interrupt her again. "It was just convenient for him. He doesn't care about me or this family anymore. Stop waiting for a miracle and just eat."

I was absolutely certain now. This was just a matter of convenience for Ferris.

I was sugarcoating the reality for Lucille's sake. The ugly truth was far more humiliating than she could imagine.

The breakfast oatmeal she had eaten this morning? It was undoubtedly Zoey's rejected leftovers.

I finally realized why the takeout bag had looked so familiar. When Ferris came rushing into the locker room this morning to play the hero for Zoey, he had been holding that exact same bag.
