Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 384

"Potatoes are tastier!"

As the two kids bickered playfully, Lily stood frozen, absolutely speechless.

Seraphina walked over, resting a gentle hand on Lily's shoulder. "What's wrong?"

Lily sniffled and shook her head. "Nothing."

Seraphina didn't push. She simply took Lily's hand and led her toward the cafeteria counter.

A few lunch ladies were already stationed behind the glass. Massive pots sent plumes of steam into the air, filling the room with the rich aroma of cooked food.

Seraphina gave Mr. Zhang a subtle nod.

Mr. Zhang instantly understood. He stepped to the front of the room, clearing his throat loudly. "Listen up, kids! Starting today, the school cafeteria is entirely free! From now on, everyone eats lunch here. You don't need to bring food from home anymore!"

The cafeteria plunged into stunned silence for a split second.

Then, every single child clutching their potatoes and carrots snapped their heads up, their eyes lighting up like a starry night sky.

"Really?"

"Is Mr. Zhang telling the truth?"

"We don't have to bring lunch anymore?"

"We get to eat for free from now on?"

The younger kids, already clutching their lunchboxes, erupted into cheers and sprinted toward the food line.

The older ones scrambled after them, transforming the quiet shack into a chaotic festival of joy.

Caught up in the infectious excitement, Lily finally broke into a massive grin.

Seraphina led her to the counter and handed her a plate.

"What do you want to eat? Pick whatever you like."

Lily stared at the dishes behind the glass. They were incredibly simple, everyday meals—yet compared to the meager boiled potatoes and carrots she'd just seen, it looked like an absolute feast.

Holding her plate, she followed right behind Seraphina, waiting obediently in line.

The kids ahead of them practically vibrated as they got their food, sprinting back to the long tables where they buried their faces in their bowls, inhaling the food like they hadn't eaten in days.

Soon enough, it was their turn.
