    Chapter 283


    The people working in Rnd’s willia knew who she was. When the cooks saw her alone by the door,


    they couldn’t help but ask, “Young madam, are you okay?”


    Larissa smiled and reassured them. “Tim fine. I just feel tired from standing all day.”


    There weren’t any chairs in the kitchen, and everyone was busy. No one had the time to bring over a


    chair. Even so, Larissa wouldn’t let


    them do it.


    madam


    After half an hour, someone called out to her. “Young madam, the pie is ready?


    Larissa quickly got up to check the oven and saw that it was perfectly baked. She removed it from the


    oven with utmost care and brought it to the main house.


    The dining table stood prominently in the center of the main house, and the cooks ced the dishes on


    the table. The people in the living room were already there. Rnd upied the central seat while the


    others found their ces ordingly. As Larissa entered, she noticed the joyous atmosphere, with


    everyone happily indulging in drinks and food. They didn’t wait for her to start.


    When Larissa thought of that, she felt even more upset. She stopped herself from crying and showed a


    gracious smile. “The pie is ready.”


    she announced.


    Larissa ced the pie in front of Rnd before cutting it and distributing portions onto everyone’s te.


    After that, she sat beside Kevan.


    “Thank you.” Rnd smiled at her. However, his smile seemed distant, unlike how friendly he had been


    earlier. Kevan didn’t show any


    expression. He instructed the maid to give her a set of cutlery before falling silent.


    *Sorry, Larissa. We didn’t wait for you even though you’ve been busy in the kitchen.” In the end, the


    only person who showed concern for


    her was Edmund. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    *I wanted to call you, but Kevan said it was fine —


    “It’s fine.” Since they were outside, Larissa didn’t want to make a fuss.


    Kevan coldly added, “The weather is cold. Grandpa has to eat while it’s hot. Otherwise, it won’t be


    good for his body.”


    Larissa continued to nod. Then, Ruby asked, “Ms. Seymour, are you angry?”


    “No.” Larissa looked up and met her gaze. Then, she smiled and said, “Everyone is here to visit


    Grandpa, and of course, we have to prioritize Grandpa’s needs. Besides, I wanted Grandpa to be


    happy, which is why I put in so much effort to make this pie.”


    Rnd praised her, saying, “Lari, you’re very considerate.”


    However, Larissa felt that his tone and emotions seemed overly polite. She couldn’t sense the sincerity


    behind his words. She was clueless about the sudden change in Rnd’s attitude, which had urred


    within a matter of few hours. The situation of being excluded


    left her feeling uneasy.


    Larissa tightly held her cutlery and forced out, “I’m d you like it.”


    To which Rnd replied, “I like it a lot.”


    But he never once took a bite of the pie. Once dinner concluded, Larissa looked at the almost


    untouched pie and felt a mix of emotions.
