Chapter 429


    “I will, Fifth Master.” Zack Cassidy gave Stanley Batton a respectful nod before turning around to


    leave his office.


    After the door clicked shut behind him, the office returned to its original, peaceful state.


    Stanley leaned back against his office chair, his hands behind his head and his legsfortably


    crossed. All that was on his mind were the final two possibilities that Zack had proposed earlier.


    ***


    When Georgie Clementine returned to the ward with the contract in hand, Noah Smith signed the


    contract without even ncing at it.


    Shortly after, he bid a brief farewell before leaving with his copy of the contract. X and Georgie


    were alone in the ward again.


    The first thing Georgie did was slide the contract into a drawer before closing it. Her next move was


    to return to X’s side, where she began praising Noah. “Noah seems like a straightforward and


    energetic man. He was very friendly and approachable, nothing like the nobleman I had initially


    imagined him to be like.”


    Hearing this, X thought about Georgie’s praises for a moment before feeling pleased about his


    personality too. “Yeah, his parents have done a very good job educating him.”


    “From his demeanor alone, I knew he was well brought up. I like him a lot.” Georgie grinned before


    asking, “It’s almost lunchtime. Anything you want to eat X? I’ll order for you.”


    X shook her head in response. She couldn’t think of anything she wanted to eat at the moment.


    The truth was, there was still a slight bitter feeling that remained stuck in her heart from the


    conversation about Stanley with Georgie earlier.


    “Well, even if you don’t have much of an appetite you still have to eat something. There must be


    something you want to eat.” Georgie continued to insist.


    However, X shook her head once more, refusing Georgie’s attempt again.


    Georgie frowned. Seeing that the girl wasn’t going toply, she opened a food delivery app on her


    phone. She would take the liberty to order a nutritious meal for X.


    After the order was confirmed, she looked at X and sighed. “Look, you can’t just skip lunch just


    because you don’t feel like eating, alright? I’ve ordered some food for you and I understand that


    you’re in a bad mood right now, but you shouldn’t starve yourself just because of that.”


    X’s response was to simply close her eyes slowly in silence.


    Georgie remained silent as well. She took her phone out and started working on her business


    emails.


    About twenty minutester, there was a knock on the door.


    Georgie got up to open it.


    A delivery man was standing at the doorstep.


    Seeing Georgie, he handed her tworge bags.


    Curious, Georgie peeked inside the bags before she was struck by confusion. ‘I didn’t order this


    much, did I?’ She thought to herself.


    Noticing her expression, the delivery man said, “This is the lunch Mr. Batton ordered for Miss


    Quest.” The exnation was sufficient to clear Georgie’s confusion.


    “Thank you…” Georgie smiled politely. She closed the door behind her before bringing the two bags


    of food over to X.


    She ced them on an empty bedside table and sighed. “It seems that Stan ordered you some


    lunch.”


    She hated to admit it, but she understood why X would fall for such a man. He was doing all he


    could to take care of her after all.


    X opened her eyes slowly and nced at the two bags of food. Her reaction was a bitter smile.


    “Got it.”


    Shaking her head, Georgie began setting up the folded dining table that was attached to the bed.


    The table was set in an instant.


    Next came the food. She ced the containers of food on the table, all the time mumbling, “I


    shouldn’t have ordered earlier… With this much food from him, I guess my initial order is going to


    be wasted.”


    “Yeah,” muttered X in agreement.


    While Georgie continued to arrange the food on the table, her own order arrived. cing the food


    she ordered together with Stanley’s, the table—which was already quiterge—had barely any


    space left uncovered by food.

    The scene only caused X to lose even more of her appetite.


    Nevertheless, she forced herself to pick up a pair of chopsticks and began nibbling on some food to


    avoid any further nagging from Georgie.


    After a hellish lunch, the two of them had just managed to finish their meal when a short series of


    raps came from the door. There was another visitor.


    Cleared the table to make the room look more presentable, Georgie looked toward the door before


    calling out, “Pleasee in…”


    X turned to face the door as well as the visitor stepped in.
