The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665: Terms & Conditions

[Third Person].

An hour later...

The dining room was set, this time for three.

Meredith sat beside her grandmother, while Draven took the seat across from them, totally abandoning the head table.

The atmosphere was warm, quieter than usual, yet filled with a comfort that settled naturally between them.

The meal began. And almost immediately, Meredith reached for a dish and placed food onto her grandmother’s plate.

"You should eat more of this," she said. "It’s fresh."

Before her grandmother could respond, Meredith added something else. "And this too."

Across the table, Draven watched. Then, without a word, he mirrored her actions—placing food onto her plate just as steadily.

But Meredith barely noticed. Her attention remained fixed on her grandmother.

"Grandma, you’ve lost weight," Meredith continued. "You need to eat properly while you are here."

Her grandmother smiled faintly, the soft glow in her white eyes reflecting something deeper than sight.

"Edith," she said gently, "feed yourself."

Meredith didn’t stop. "I’m fine," she replied. "I’m not that hungry." Another piece of food landed on her grandmother’s plate as she added, "I’m just... happy you’re here."

Her grandmother’s smile deepened slightly. "Is that so?" she said. "Then perhaps I should return home."

Meredith froze. "What?" she said quickly, her head snapping up.

"If my presence alone fills you, then I need not stay long," her grandmother added calmly.

"No," Meredith said immediately. "I will eat."

Across from them, Draven’s lips curved faintly. Without comment, he picked up a spoon, scooped a portion of food, and leaned slightly forward.

"Open."

Meredith glanced at him briefly, then opened her mouth without protest. He fed her as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

And he continued. One spoon after another, measured and unhurried, making sure she ate properly this time.

Though her grandmother could not see the action, she felt it clearly. A quiet warmth passed through her expression as she sat there, listening, sensing... understanding.

She said nothing, but her smile remained.

After dinner, the night air welcomed them outside.

Meredith walked beside her grandmother, holding her arm gently as they strolled along the palace grounds. The guards followed at a respectful distance, far enough not to intrude, close enough to remain vigilant.

Their pace was slow and comfortable.

"Tell me," her grandmother said after a while, "is he treating you well?"

Meredith didn’t hesitate. "Yes." A bright smile spread across her face instantly. There was no doubt in it. "He has been..." she paused briefly, searching for the right word, "...everything."

She let out a soft breath. "He won’t let me do anything on my own anymore. He makes sure I eat, makes sure I rest... he even massages my feet and shoulders himself."

Then, a small laugh escaped her. "Sometimes, it’s too much."

Her grandmother listened quietly, but there was satisfaction in her expression. "I see," she said softly. "That is good." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Meredith nodded, still smiling.

By the time they returned inside, the calm of the evening had settled fully over the palace. They made their way toward the living area.

Inside, Draven sat with Oscar, discussing something in low tones. But the moment Meredith and her grandmother entered, Oscar rose immediately.
