Chapter 48 Hidden Sufferings of the Wealthy

Finished

She never took it out afterward, keeping it tucked inside her small bag all along, never planning to show it

to anyone.

She figured since they wanted it, it was only right to give it to them now.

Zora couldn’t help noticing that rich people all seemed to have some kind of health problem more or less.

Either insomnia, stomach troubles, or random discomfort all over their bodies.

It was the same with the Knox family, her elder cousins, and even their friends.

Zora shook her head, utterly baffled—not making sense of it at all

ally

Lavish lives, fine food and drink, wealth and power in hand, yet every single one of them was always under he weather.

3ut the moment she thought about the plain, tasteless meals they served at the Knox Villa, she kind of understood.

f she had to eat that bland stuff every day, she’d probably get sick too.

Thank you, Zora. I’ll treasure this,” Jett said happily as he took the gift.

ensen had one, Leighton had one, and now he had a little gift from Zora too.

He smiled quietly to himself.

Alright, dig in,” Jensen said, picking food onto Zora’s plate beside her.

Zora went back to eating her meat, eyes curved into crescent moons-it tasted absolutely wonderful.

The three men watching her looked pleased just seeing her enjoy the meal so much.

Does your family not feed her?”

Leighton lifted his gaze to look at Jensen,

The girl was overjoyed just to have this smoky barbecue feast, savoring every bite as if she had never casted fine food before.

She was small and slender too. He couldn’t help wondering if she’d ever grow taller.

“The Knox family has been neglecting Zora.” Jensen didn’t even look up. The moment he saw Zora liked the food, he served her more meat.

Watching her, he’d long wondered if the Knoxes were starving her.

“The Knox family?”

Leighton frowned.

He’d only recently come back to the country and paid little attention to the Knoxes’ affairs.

But his cousin had mentioned a disagreeable daughter in the Knox household before.

From what his cousin had described, Leighton already held little favor toward the Knox family.

Though the Marlow and Knox families were related by marriage, Leighton barely associated with the Knox brothers.

The Knoxes had risen to power relying on the Marlows, and they were nowhere near worthy of being his equals.

Now hearing the family brought up again by his friend, he frowned deeply.

Could this girl be the swapped daughter the Knoxes had just found?

When he was abroad, he’d overheard Jensen mention once that his aunt’s child had been switched at birth.

Jensen had spoken indifferently back then, not caring much about the long-lost child the Knoxes had recovered.

Seeing how casual the indifference was back then, yet how dearly Jensen cared for Zora now, Leighton hadn’t immediately put two and two together that Zora was exactly the girl the Knoxes had taken back into heir family.

Everyone only ever referred to her as Zora, never mentioning her last name.

He’d even assumed she was some distant relative on the Marlow side.

Jensen, that Jolie from the Knox family isn’t nearly as gentle and kind as she pretends to be. You need to ook after Zora well.”

ett knew all about the Knox family’s drama. The second he laid eyes on Zora, he put everything together. Having met Jolie before, he shook his head and turned to Jensen.

Zora stood no chance going up against Jolie.

Zora was far too quiet and unassuming, never one to fight for anything.

‘I will.” Jensen nodded firmly.

He then glanced at Leighton.

‘She’s part of our family now.”

୮

With Zora sitting right there, Jensen held back further words, afraid it would sadden her.

Leighton was far from foolish; he caught the unspoken meaning instantly.

Something must have happened-this girl had been wronged in the Knox family, and Jensen had found out and taken her into the Marlow family instead.

Leighton glanced at Zora, who was munching away carefree without a single worry in the world.

Simple, quiet, and a little naive.

Finished

By the end of the meal, Zora was the only one who’d caten heartily. The other three men barely touched their food.

They spent over an hour at the dinner-mostly Zora eating happily while the three men sat there watching her.

“Zora, it’s time for us to head back. Say goodbye,” Jensen said, smiling at the sight of her full, round stomach.

Seeing her full and happy made him happy too.

‘Goodbye,” Zora said.

Full and content, her face lit up with unhidden joy.

It had been ages since she’d enjoyed a meal this much.

‘Goodbye, Zora. Message me on WhatsApp if you ever need anything.” Jett waved at her with a warm

smile.

Leighton’s gaze drifted between the two of them.

‘Go straight home and get some sleep tonight. Don’t stay up late-your body can’t take it.”

Zora stared at him with a serious expression.

‘Okay.”

Leighton smiled, obeying her meekly.

Even Jensen and Jett had never seen him so docile and compliant before.

‘Hey, Zora… why don’t we swap contact info too? If I’m ever feeling under the weather, I can message you to ask for advice.”

Leighton pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Zora showed no sign of refusal, turning to take her own phone from her small bag.

The two quickly added each other on WhatsApp.

A softer smile tugged at Leighton’s lips.

“Promise you’ll head straight to bed once you get home.”

Г

Zora frowned at him, speaking firmly like she was tending to a difficult patient, earnest in her reminder.
