"Come, Master. The stir-fried pork you made is delicious. Let me serve you." She attentively served the dish to Matthew, completely ignoring the strange looks from the others.
Matthew looked at the stir-fried pork in his bowl, furrowing his brows almost imperceptibly. He didn't say anything and only ate his meal.
However, he didn't touch the meat on his plate at all.
He had prepared six dishes and two soups for lunch: stir-fried pork with green beans, fried catfish, roasted pork, stir-fried vegetables, mushroom with meatballs, and stir-fried mung bean sprouts. He also cooked pigeon soup and chicken soup.
The meal was a hit due to its excellent flavors, presentation, and aromas. By the end of the meal, every dish on the table had been thoroughly enjoyed and cleared.
Even Veronica didn't expect that such simple home-cooked dishes would be so popular and in such high demand among the Ledger siblings.
After the meal, everyone left the table, and the servants came to clean up.
The Ledger siblings were ready to leave then.
"Master Waylen, Miss Murphy, Mateo, thank you for your hospitality," Dominik politely thanked them.
"Haha, you're too kind, Your Highness." Crayson chuckled and nodded, echoing the sentiment.
Eleanor mentioned, "Dominik it was my master who made the dishes for lunch. You should thank my master."
She couldn't help but show her favoritism toward Matthew. It was as if she wanted to make it obvious to everyone.
"Eleanor, don't forget your identity. You should act with more restraint," Liam reminded her, as he couldn't bear watching this.
However, Eleanor didn't care at all. She waved at Matthew. "Master, thank you for your hospitality. I'll invite you to the palace as a guest in the future."
Dominik slightly bowed. "Master Waylen, Miss Murphy, Mateo, Iron Pillar, goodbye for now."
The refined gentleman exuded an air of elegance and grace in his every move.
The three walked out of the courtyard, followed closely by a group of guards not far behind them.
In the courtyard, Mateo murmured, "What the hell? Grandpa, what are they up to?"
The smile on Crayson's face disappeared as he turned around and gave Matthew a meaningful look. "Come with me."
"Yes, Master Waylen." Matthew turned around and followed him into the living room.
Mateo immediately walked to Veronica's side and whispered in her ear, "Roni, do you think Princess Eleanor has feelings for the loggerhead?"
