"There's shrimp ravioli, black truffle risotto, deep-sea grilled fish, smoked Norwegian salmon with poached egg, and some artisanal spring water. Take a look and see what you like. Mom will go grab Tristan so you two can eat together."
Felipa turned to look at Nova, her tone so casual and flat that it was as if all their past unpleasantness had simply never happened.
But Nova was a dignified woman. She didn't make a habit of slapping a smiling face, so she merely replied with detached politeness, "Mrs. Forrester, there's no need. I'm not used to your wealthy family breakfasts."
That "Mrs. Forrester" made Felipa's expression shift, a wave of profound discomfort washing over her.
Even Abdul, who had just walked in, frowned deeply. "Your mom woke up bright and early just to prepare this breakfast for you. And what is this 'Mrs. Forrester' nonsense? You should be calling her Mom!"
Nova looked toward the older man at the door.
Abdul was being supported by an aide. He didn't seem to be specifically targeting her.
Nova fell silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Forrester. And thank you for yours, Mrs. Forrester."
Felipa's face turned utterly sour.
Abdul's expression mirrored hers. He struck his walking cane against the floor. "Nova! What did you used to call me? What is this 'Mr. Forrester' business? We are a family, not outsiders. No more 'Mr. Forrester' and no more 'Mrs. Forrester'! Think carefully before you address us!"
Nova would never forget that at Abdul's birthday banquet, Felipa had insisted Yvette call her Mom. And prior to that, when Nova had called her Mom, Felipa had humiliated her and even slapped her across the face.
She had told Nova she was unworthy of calling her Mom.
As for Abdul...
In front of everyone, he had acknowledged Yvette as his future granddaughter-in-law and told Yvette to call him Grandpa.
Nova lowered her eyes and smiled.
