Cornelia quickly gave her head a gentle pat, "Don't worry, it's all good now. Let's grab some lunch. Once we've filled our bellies, we can think about how to get you completely out of the Reese family."
Natalia asked, "Can I change my last name to yours?"
The fact that Natalia was so eager to cut ties with the Reese family showed just how deeply she had been hurt by them, which tugged at Cornelia's heartstrings, "Sweetie, you've always been a Stewart. Of course you can take our family name."
Natalia said again, "Then, I'll change my name too."
Cornelia gave her a gentle nod, "Sure."
......
Lunch was personally whipped up by Patricia. Since Marcus had mentioned that Cornelia hadn't been eating much these days, he asked Patricia to prepare some light dishes for her.
Patricia, ever the responsible one, not only cooked light dishes for Cornelia, but also prepared Natalia's favorite hometown food.
Perhaps due to not having eaten well for several days, or maybe because she was looking forward to getting rid of the Reese family, Natalia had a voracious appetite. She ate half a roast chicken on her own, half a plate of spaghetti bolognese, and even some chips.
Seeing Natalia eat, Cornelia's appetite also picked up. She ate plenty as well, to the point where she was stuffed.
