The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 496

Sylvia's POV:

Although I didn't quite understand the situation, I didn't ask any questions. I just took note of what she said.

"My name's Nicole. I'm the housekeeper here. If you need anything, just knock on the door gently. There's no need to shout."

"Oh, okay..." I replied in a low voice and observed Nicole quietly, although I could only see her red eyes in the dark.

It looked like Nicole didn't mean to hurt me. She even talked to me with respect, as if she was entertaining a guest.

"Actually, I'm a little hungry now. Is there anything I can eat?" I asked softly, trying to test her attitude.

"Wait one moment."

After saying that, Nicole disappeared behind the door and locked it. A few minutes later, she came back and handed me a plate.

"Eat this first. Dinner will be ready shortly." As soon as I touched the edge of the plate, Nicole withdrew her hands abruptly, as if she was afraid that I would touch her.

I didn't say anything. I just took the plate. The food was still warm, and I could smell that it was fried steak.

"Anything else?" Nicole asked politely.

I hesitated for a moment. "Where is the other she-wolf who was with me?"

"I don't know. She is not a guest here and doesn't deserve to step foot in this castle." Nicole grew serious. I could tell from her tone of voice that I shouldn't ask any more questions.

"Then..." Holding the plate of warm steak, I hesitated.

Nicole didn't say a word. She waited patiently for me to continue.

"Could you stay with me until I finish this steak? I'm not used to eating alone," I said matter-of-factly.

Nicole fell silent, as though she was rendered speechless.

But in the end, she stayed and accompanied me.
