They Called Me Heartless So Reborn I Watched Them Self Destruct novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: 164- Call Him Here!

Arabella:

While we ate in the garden, Maya’s eyes followed the jumbo hamburger the chef placed in front of me.

“You’re drooling,” I teased before picking it up and taking a huge bite.

“His Highness is spoiling you to bits.” She said, filling her plate with the pasta. I only nodded with my mouth full.

Lucien had arranged a private chef for me the very next morning after I told him about the poison. Apparently, the man had trained at one of the best culinary schools in the kingdom and had spent years working at a luxury hotel before Lucien brought him here. Now his only job was to prepare my meals according to what I liked.

I wasn’t complaining. The man knew exactly what he was doing in the kitchen.

Maya leaned forward and twirled some pasta around her fork. “I tried getting into your new kitchen today.” I stopped chewing and looked at her.

“What?” She shrugged. “I was curious. But the security there is insane. They wouldn’t even let me near the door.”

“That’s because you have no business sneaking into my kitchen.”

“I wasn’t sneaking.” She took another bite of her pasta. “Anyway, I’m glad they’re being careful. If someone really was putting something in your food, they won’t get another chance now.” She pointed her fork at me. “I’m sure you’ll get your wolf back soon.”

“I hope so,” I murmured.

What I didn’t tell her was that things had already started changing. My wolf’s emotions had started reaching me inside my head.

Lucien had almost pleaded with me not to tell anyone about this new development yet. Not even Maya or Toby. Of course, I had argued with him.

Maya and Toby were my friends, and I couldn’t hide things from them. He told me I didn’t have to tell him anything either. He just wanted me to keep this one thing to myself until we found out who was behind the poisoning.

A few minutes later, Toby appeared in the garden.

“Where have you been?” I called out when I spotted him. “Come have lunch with us.”

“I already ate.” He pulled out the empty chair beside me and dropped into it.

I reached over and shoved his shoulder. “Then where have you been all this time? With some girl?”

Toby gave me an odd look before glancing at Maya, and Maya looked back at him. I was too busy finishing the last few bites of my burger to pay much attention to either of them.

Once I was done, I wiped my hands and got to my feet, picking up the notebook I had brought with me. “I’m going to meet Lucien. I need to visit my pack today.”

Maya’s expression changed immediately. She straightened in her chair, but I lifted a hand before she could say anything. “Don’t worry. I won’t be going alone. Bradley will accompany me.”

She still didn’t look convinced, but at least she didn’t argue.
