"I'm so sorry, Miss Lina. I forgot there would be a big dinner tonight. I just had a small cake, and I'm already quite full. I might be too full later... I'm really sorry!"
As soon as she came downstairs, Xiao Kelin immediately bowed ninety degrees to Lina, timidly expressing her apology.
Fagga and Ellen looked over; Lina's expression had visibly darkened, but she maintained her composure as head maid, calmly saying, "It's alright, Colleen. It's just a little regrettable..."
But then, Lina clapped her hands happily and said cheerfully, "Then, everyone else, you all have to work hard and eat it all, including Corinne's portion!"
"good!"
Only Ellen's lonely voice rang out as she nonchalantly sat down at the dining table.
At this moment, Fagga already had a slight sense of unease.
Who exactly is this banquet that forces little Colleen to lie and avoid?
Feeling a burning gaze, Fagga looked back and saw Lina looking at her expectantly.
It seemed there was no way to avoid it. Fagar sighed inwardly and sat down next to Ellen.
Looking up suddenly, I saw that Lycahn was on the phone.
"Yes, that's right. Someone has food poisoning at the edge of Guangying Square. Could you please send an ambulance?"
Hiss~
Fagar gasped. Having spent so much time with Elaine and always thought Lina was a good cook, he finally began to doubt her culinary skills. His heart pounded, and he felt increasingly guilty.
"Kelin, you should find a seat too. Although you've already had some cake, this is still your welcome-home feast, so please have a little something too."
"Okay, sure."
Little Colleen answered tremblingly, her thighs shaking as Lina helped her sit on the chair.
Lina, however, seemed oblivious to everything, resting her hands on her face and excitedly exclaiming, "Well then, let's eat!"
After saying that, Lina floated forward and lifted the lid of the first plate.
Fagga couldn't help but swallow hard, watching as the lid of the plate was slowly lifted, revealing a fish with a grape in its mouth.
this...
Fagar's eyes widened immediately.
On a round, plate-like pizza, there are many red and green unknown pastes as decorations. Around the outer edge of the pizza, there is a circle of small fish, each with a grape in its mouth, and their dull eyes gleam with an eerie light as they look up at the sky.
Fagga's heart suddenly began to tremble, and he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His eyes were still filled with shock as he looked at the dead juvenile fish, which seemed to be floating with resentment.
"Hmm, is Fagga already drooling with envy?"
A voice suddenly came from beside his ear. Fagga turned his head in fright and saw that it was Lina bending down and leaning close to Fagga's ear.
"Uh...hehe..."
With a forced smile on her face, Lina slowly reached out and lifted the lid of another plate.
Immediately, the steaming white mist couldn't wait to escape, as if it no longer wanted to be confined to a dish.
Fagga peered inside with trembling pupils, his reason telling him it was a soup.
Xueshi also told him that the soup contained a lot of stewed meat, namely lamb heart, lamb stomach, and lamb liver, and that it was topped with a lot of coriander, seemingly to suppress the muttony smell.
But it didn't seem to make any difference; the flavor of the ingredients themselves stubbornly broke free from the cilantro's influence.
They swaggered around like victors, and the unique aroma of cilantro, which they regarded as their spoils, wafted out and assaulted everyone's sense of smell.
"Time is limited. Lord Lykan has been asking me to do all sorts of things, so I only have time to prepare two dishes."
Lina glared at Lycan with a hint of grievance, and Lycan's face also showed some remorse. He glanced around at everyone, his indifferent expression seeming to say:
Everyone, I did my best.
Soon, Lina cheered up again and clapped her hands: "But it's okay, I've prepared plenty of both dishes, so everyone can eat their fill."
"Please enjoy your meal, everyone!"
