You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 479

"That's right."

After Franklin spoke, Natasha reached out to pull Lucille's hand and pretended to be on good terms with her. She said, "Lucille, you've worked hard. Marie made your favorite dishes."

Marie Carter was a servant working in their house. She had always pampered Lucille.

When Lucille entered the house, she saw that most of the dishes on the table were Indian food that Natasha loved. She knew she had over thought.

In the Jules family, why would anyone care she was allergic to chillies?

Natasha pulled Lucille to a seat at the round dining table and ordered, "Lucille, sit here."

"Franklin, sit next to my sister."

After Natasha had arranged Lucille’s seat, she pulled Franklin to sit next to Lucille.

When the two of them sat down, Natasha quietly sat next to Franklin.

"Lucille, you have not brought Franklin back here since you got married. Therefore, we seized this opportunity to invite him to our house.

After everyone sat down, Marvin spoke first.

"Yes." Lucille saw Natasha sitting next to Franklin. She was not happy but was not able to voice out her feelings.

"My Lucille does not like to talk and likes to keep everything in her heart, but she is a good girl. I will leave her in your hands in the future." As a father, Marvin could not help but say a few words before the meal.

"I know." Franklin glanced at Lucille, who was next to him, and stretched out his hand to fiddle with her hair gently.

This small gesture showed the intimacy between the two people. Lucille did not respond to it much, but it made Natasha jealous.

"Franklin, try these dishes. We have made them according to Lucille's taste," Alma flattered them when she saw that the two of them were on good terms.

"Okay." Franklin finally picked up his spoon.

Lucille saw that she could not even eat the dishes on the table. Therefore, she used her fork and picked at the vegetable dish.

"Lucille, eat this." Natasha noticed that Lucille only ate vegetables. Hence, she quickly picked up a shrimp from a plate on the table and placed it on her plate.

Lucille lowered her head and looked at the shrimp in front of her. It was orange-colored, and it did not look very spicy.

Lucille looked up and said, "Thank you." She put the shrimp into her mouth and chewed it twice. Then, her face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Natasha blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Lucille.

Lucille wanted to spit out the shrimp, but Franklin was there. She did not want to do this, but she had no choice but to swallow the shrimp.

After drinking another mouthful of water, she said, "How could the shrimp be so spicy?"

"Really?" Natasha then ate a piece and ran to the kitchen and asked, "Marie, why is this shrimp spicy? I told you before that Lucille does not eat spicy food and to make a few non-spicy dishes for her."

"No. When I was cooking just now, Mrs. Jules said that she wanted us to cook spicy food, but to keep the servants..."

"It’s fine, Marie. Are you confused? Did you forget that Lucille cannot eat spicy food? It looks like you are becoming forgetful."

Before Marie could finish her words, she was interrupted by Alma rudely.

Marie had been living in the Jules family for decades. Since she was young, she was responsible for the Jules family's meals everyday. Even if everyone forgot that Lucille could not eat spicy food, Marie would not forget.

When she ate the shrimp just now, no one said anything, which indicated that Natasha did it on purpose.

Lucille was allergic to chili and there would be rashes on her face if she ate a little bit of it.

"It does not matter. I will drink some water," Lucille mediated and picked up the glass of water to drink.
