After a simple wash-up, Bella changed into a new outfit and joined Justin downstairs for a meal. It had been a while since she tasted Wilma’s cooking, and she relished every bite.
Wilma looked at Bella lovingly, as if she were seeing her long-lost daughter.
“Wow... It tastes so good!” Bella licked her lips and let out a cute burp, eagerly handing her bowl to Wilma. “Wilma, give me another bowl of mashed potatoes, filled to the brim!”
“Got it, Young Madam!” Wilma happily filled the bowl with mashed potatoes.
The elders were all the same, feeling happy when they saw the younger generation eating heartily.
“Bella, take it easy. Don’t overeat,” Justin said in a gentle tone as he used a napkin to dab away the grease from her lips.
“Why are you eating so little? Are you on a diet?” Bella leaned towards him, enjoying the mouth-wiping service.
“I’m not very hungry.”
“If you weren’t hungry, you should have said so earlier. Wilma’s fried fish and shrimp are so delicious, I saved some for you in case you didn’t have enough.”
Bella reached for the fried shrimp with her hands, behaving like a hungry little cat. “If you’re not going to eat it, I’ll gladly finish all of it!”
The tenderness that leaked from the depths of Justin’s eyes seemed to be melting her.
This was how it should be. What he wanted was for Bella to be completely herself, without any reservations. He didn’t want her to be gentle, obedient, or understanding. He just wanted her to be true to herself.
