{Yuna Burgert’s perspective.]

I shook my head.

At this moment, I heard a rumbling sound coming from my stomach. It sounded particularly loud in the empty room. I became embarrassed and tried to say something to smooth things over, “I won’t wander around. Uh, I…”

Theard Andrew’s laughter coming from above. This man was really handsome. When he laughed, his eyes and brows became much more lively than usual. He appeared to be frank and broad, and the pressure he brought to others was also much less. I was infected by his laughter, so I decided to break the

rules.

“Tm hungry.”

“I’s my fault. I actually made my fiancée starve.”

He held my hand once again and brought me to the dining hall. His steps were very big, and I had to jog to catch up. I was almost dragged into the dining hall by him.

I looked at the table full of dishes and was dumbfounded because I remembered that I had only ordered a few dishes!

I saw the butler standing at the side. The butler smiled and said, “When the head of the family came up, he told us to prepare them. They are all seasonal specialties. Try them.”

Iwas still shocked when Andrew had already brought me to the table. He pulled out a chair for me and said, “My beautiful fiancée, please.”

I sat on the chair and waited for the butler to prepare the white napkin for me.

The cream-colored soup base was covered with a layer of whipped cream and sprinkled with red and green crumbs. I scooped a spoonful into my mouth. It was potato soup. The soup had a meaty flavor and was sweetened with onions. All the ingredients were thoroughly crushed and the texture was silky

and fine. The top was sprinkled with pickled meat crumbs and shallots, adding a hint of savory flavor to the rich soup. It tasted delicious!

The appetizer was fried scallops with cherry tomatoes and grapefruit pepper sauce. The scallops have been processed to remove all excess, leaving only the meat.

The lightly fried scallops are golden in color, with orange grapefruit pepper sauce on one side and fruit on the other side. The grapefruit sauce was sour and appetizing, and the fruit was just right to dissolve the caramelized greasiness of the scallops.

The appetizer alone satisfied me, and I looked forward to the main course.

I caught a glimpse of Andrew’s smiling face out of the corner of my eye, and I couldn’t help but blush again. Was I too aggressive and not ladylike enough?

I thought uneasily, and then I realized that he had already seen me lying in a pool of blood. Why did I even care?

When I thought of this, I thought of another matter. When I woke up from the hospital bed, my clothes had already been changed. They were clean and fresh. It was not the bloodstained one. Was It changed by the doctors and nurses in the operating room? Was it Andrew?

As the head of the family, he would not do such a small thing as changing someone’s clothes. If he really did it, would he not have seen my entire body?

I did not dare to look at Andrew again. I lowered my head and started to focus on the next dish.

The main course was the veal shank that the butler had mentioned to me in the afternoon. It was from Alex Manor. A large piece of the shank was placed on the plate. The beef was very thick. The top layer of the skin was slightly charred. One could even smell the good smell of burnt beef at the dining

table.

It was covered with a thick layer of sauce that was crystal clear but firm, and I tried to poke it with my fork. It had a gel-like texture. The sides of the plate were lined with broccoli, honeydew melon, and red peppers, and there was a tray of loaves of bread ready to serve.

I stabbed the beef. It was softer than I had expected, and the fork hit the bottom of the plate without much resistance. I cut off a small piece, and it was finally revealed. With the perfect Maillard effect, the beef was beautifully layered, with just the right amount of fat and the perfect combination of

absolute quality protein.

I put it in my mouth, and it melted in my mouth. I could hardly feel the fiber of the meat, but my mouth was filled with the aroma of the meat. The jelly sauce added extra flavor, and I did not know what spices were in it, there was a hint of spicy stimulation in the satisfaction of the salty fragrance, but it

was just right.

I almost could not control myself. I was enjoying the food. I ate three pieces of small bread with the veal shank, but I still did not want to finish it. I had never eaten such delicious beef! I rubbed my small belly and looked at the table with some regret. The bread was also very delicious, but I really could

not eat it anymore.

“Miss Yuna’s appetite is so good. You must be very healthy.” The butler smiled.

Iwas a little embarrassed and scratched my head.

“I might be a little hungry today.”

“Fortunately, the Alex family is still considered rich. Otherwise, it would be easy for you to eat until I’m broke.” Andrew teased from the side.

He also ate four loaves of bread! One more than me! How can you say that about me? I glared at him with dissatisfaction.

However, he laughed even louder.. That b*stard!
