Fifteen minutester, the prepared lunch was allid out on the table.
Madeleine nced over at the dishes and picked up a piece of sweet and sour spare ribs, cing it in the man''s bowl.
"Elliot. the sweet and sour pork rib is delicious. Try it," she said
Elliot didn''t even acknowledge Madeleine. His attention was entirely focused on Shawn sitting next to him.
He noticed that Shawn''s eyes were fixed on the sweet and sour fish dish, so he picked up a piece of fish for him.
"Try this. It''s good," Elliot said to his son.
"Thank you, Daddy," Shawn replied with excitement as he happily ate his father''s offering.
Madeleine quickly followed suit by picking up a piece of meat for Shawn as well
"This crispy pork is your favorite. Eat more,” she urged her son with affectionate words.
"Thank you, Mommy!" eximed Shawn before continuing to eat his meal with gusto.
Seeing that the man sitting across from her remained entirely unmoved, Madeleine pursed her lips and picked up another bite of celery.
"The celery today is quite good. Elliot. you should give it a try.”
Elliot gave Madeleine a faint nce and let her ce the food onto his te. However, he never touched anything in that te again
Rachel, sitting beside them, watched her sister constantly attending to Elliot, and he didn''t refuse. The nervousness in her heart had dissipated quite

She looked up and saw Madeleine giving her a signal with her eyes.
Rachel immediately understood, feigning difort as she rubbed her forehead. "Sis, I''m not feeling too well. I can''t eat.”
"Do you want me te call a doctor to take a look at you again?"
Madeleine looked at her younger sister with concern, her face filled with worried expression.
Rachel forced herself to appear energetic. weakly shaking her head. "No need, I''ll just go upstairs and rest for a bit.”
"That''s okay then; let me know if you need anything.” Madeleine expressed concern before watching Rachel walk upstairs, then turning back towards
Elliot with worried eyes. “Rachel has been struggling mentally since being traumatized recently."
Upon hearing this, the intensity in Elliot''s eyes deepened, but he still didn''t say anything. He absentmindedly picked up some green vegetables and
ced them in the child''s te.
"Eat more vegetables to get your vitamins."
"Thank you, Daddy.”
The little one thanked him obediently and then scooped up some cold dishes for his father.
"Daddy, this is really tasty. You should try it too.”

"Daddy, what''s wrong?!" Shawn eximed.
"Elliot, what''s wrong? Where does it hurt?"
The man furrowed his brows and struggled to catch his breath before saying with effort: "I''m having an allergic reaction... get me my emergency

"Elliot, take your medicine quickly.” she urged him.
Ten minutes after taking the medicine, Elliot visibly improved. He stared intently at the dish on the table in front of him while speaking in an icy tone,
"I''m allergic to pepper."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shawn med himself. "Daddy, I''m sorry! It''s all my fault; if it wasn''t for me, you wouldn''t have eaten that dish..."
Elliot softened at Shawn''s words and reached out to gently touch his son''s messy hair. "It''s okay, sweetheart: this isn’t your fault.”
He then looked across at Madeleine with cold eyes that made her tremble uncontrobly from fear. She exined anxiously, "I... I didn''t know you

"Tell me now, what happened with today''s dishes?”
The butler shuddered involuntarily before answering nervously, "Missy. there wasn''t any pepper added into any dishes today!"
The innocent tone used by the butler left everyone present stunned including Elliot whose brow furrowed even more deeply than before.
Someone must have deliberately added pepper without anyone knowing about it — not even their own butler knew about this incident!

As soon as the butler finished speaking, Madeleine became furious.
It was that maid again! She had just tried to seduce Elliot and now she did something like this.

The servants present all responded before turning around to search for Rose
However, half an hour passed and everyone in Russell family searched high and low for Rose''s figure without sess.
The butler approached Madeleine tremblingly. "Miss, it seems like she ran away.”
Madeleine was infuriated. This maid came prepared! What exactly did she want?!
Elliot wasn''t as agitated as Madeleine though. He simply stared at the cold dish with a stern expression while contemting something
