Chapter 414

Matthew realized Stella had been working tirelessly in the kitchen and immediately rose to his feet, taking the decorations from Miley’s hands.

Miley beamed at him, saying, “Thank you.

”

With that, she led Flossie into the kitchen.

The menu for dinner that evening was hotpot.

Stella had already taken care of most of the preparations, leaving little for Miley and Flossie to assist with.

Soon, the dishes were arranged on the table, and Matthew and Slater joined the others in the dining room.

Stella noticed that Matthew appeared somewhat displeased, perhaps not accustomed to hotpot.

She asked considerately, “Mr.

Clark, is there something else you’d like to eat? I can prepare something different for you.

”

Seeing her perspiring slightly from her efforts, Matthew shook his head and replied, “No need.

Stella thought he might be avoiding any additional fuss.

As she was about to suggest an alternative, Miley approached with a plate of vegetables and urged, “Why are you standing around? Take a seat and enjoy the meal.

”

She set the plate on the table and gestured for Stella to sit down.

“Tonight’s your night, Stella.

Just savor the delicious food.

I’ll serve everyone.

”

With that, she settled beside Stella.

Seeing that the two available seats next to Stella were already occupied, Matthew pulled out the chair opposite her and took a seat.

Slater observed this closely and followed suit, sitting next to Matthew.

Once they were all seated, Miley offered a plate of beef to Matthew, suggesting, “The beef is fresh.

Would you like to try it? I can cook it for you.

”

She then glanced at Stella, explaining, “If it weren’t for Mr.

Clark, Stella wouldn’t have been cleared of those accusations so quickly.

”

Matthew regarded the plate and furrowed his brow instinctively.

Lowering his gaze, he responded indifferently, “No, thank you.

I’ll pass.

”

Miley set the plate aside.

Slater decided to take matters into his own hands, grabbing a piece of beef and placing it into the pot.

After a brief boil, he devoured it with evident satisfaction.

“I haven’t had hotpot in ages.

This is delicious.

”

Slater’s enthusiastic support brought a smile to Miley’s face.
