Kelvin made his stance clear, silently using his fork to pick up a piece of braised pork and placing it on Cheyenne's plate. This sudden move made her look at him as if she had seen a ghost. Her sparkling eyes widened, eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of coldness in the corners of her eyes.
"Eat. Don't you like this?" he said.
He remembered correctly. Cheyenne loved braised pork. Whenever it was served, most of it would end up in her mouth. She didn't behave like other high-born ladies, delicately sipping soup and maintaining appearances. Trying to lose weight and control her figure.
He used to think that Cheyenne, who loved fatty meat, was unique. Seeing her happily devouring her food, he found it embarrassing. It seemed like she had never had a good meal at the Foley mansion, making people say that Kelvin, despite his wealth, let his wife starve.
This was also why he didn't like bringing Cheyenne to banquets. She would just sit in a corner and eat.
He realized how wrong he was at the banquet welcoming Emily. Cheyenne did have the ability to stand out; she just kept a low profile and didn't want to attract attention.
Lost in thought, he saw Cheyenne's fork bypassing his braised pork and instead picking up a piece of green vegetable. She savored it with relish, answering him casually, "That's all in the past."
With those words, the light in the man's deep-set eyes dimmed. He didn't offer her more dishes and casually lowered his head to eat.
The scene of Kelvin trying to please Cheyenne but getting rejected played out on the dining table, leaving everyone with different thoughts.
At the entrance, a woman stood there in astonishment for a while. Her gaze turned cold, and she bit her rosy lip, remaining silent for a long time.
Emelia, scolded by her family, was already in a very bad mood. Unexpectedly, she turned her head and saw the tall figure standing at the entrance. Instantly, a plan formed in her mind.
With a graceful smile, she stood up to welcome her. "Abbie, why are you here? Have you eaten? Would you like to join us for a simple meal?"
Abbie, holding two gift bags, wore a white dress embroidered with heavy patterns. She walked gracefully in a pair of white high-heeled shoes.
Her flowing chestnut hair cascaded down her back, accentuating her slender waist, and her elegant and gentle temperament. Her plain face now bore a heavy makeup, somewhat inconsistent with her simple dress.
It seemed that Abbie was still trying to maintain her image of the "pure goddess," but with her appearance, she was far from a goddess. So, she had to intensify her makeup to uphold the "pure" image.
Little did she know that if the outfit and makeup didn't match, the forced effect would only make her look unpleasant.
Cheyenne, on the other hand, was both cool and sexy. Her black outfit, combined with the earth-toned eyeshadow, highlighted her eyes. The tomato-colored lipstick had a matte finish, not too dazzling.
Abbie arrived at the right time, just in time to see Kelvin "pleasing" Cheyenne by offering her food, and the latter's disdainful reaction.
She stared at the scene in disbelief!
