Chapter 452 Family Dinner


    When Jeffrey appeared soon after, Mnie rxed her tensed muscles a little..


    “If you keeping like this, won’t the York Family notice?”


    “That''s not the main issue.”


    Jeffrey went straight to the bed and pulled her into his arms. Then, he asked in concern. “Are you feeling unwell?”


    “lm fine.”


    “Don''t be afraid. Sleep. I’m here.”


    His voice was unusually gentle, and she felt like he was practicing soothing a baby in advance.


    Seeing her calm down a bit, Jeffrey slowlyy down with her. He covered her with the nket and


    massaged her arms to help her relieve stress.


    “| was thinking... If | hadn’t kept pursuing this matter and insisted on seeing Clement, Nathan


    wouldn''t have had to stage this drama. Then, Clement might not have died,” Mnie confided in


    him. “Nathan was right. It’s because of me that he died.”


    “Of course not!”


    Jeffrey''s voice was firm. “Don’t think like that. Even if you didn’t want to see him at first, Nathan


    would have forced you to see him repeatedly. This was his n—a y he had to act out.”


    After saying that, he softened his voice again. “Stop thinking about it. You need to rest well... What will happen to our baby if you


    can’t endure things?”


    Mnie nodded obediently.


    His embrace wasfortable. The familiar warmth made her drowsy.


    In a half-dream state, she felt him wrap his arms around her waist from behind. It warmed her


    heart. She reached out and held his hand, their fingers intertwined...


    Suddenly, a storm broke out in the middle of the night. It was apanied by the sound of heavy rain outside the window, and


    they fell asleep in harmony.


    Mnie slept deeply.


    FIS BOHOS


    The next morning, it was the regr knocking of the maid that woke her up


    The ce beside her was already cool, indicating that Jeffrey had left while she was asleep.


    She got out of bed and opened the door.


    The maid outside looked at her with concern. “Miss Mnie, I’ve called you twice, but you didert respond. | was worried that


    something had happened to you... Did | disturb your rest?”


    “What time is it now?” she asked.


    “It''s eleven o''clock.”


    Mnie couldn''t believe Jeffrey’s presencest night had allowed her to sleep so soundly for so


    long!


    “The two young masters want to have a family dinner with Miss Mnie today. The old master


    asked me to invite you to join them,” the mald added.


    Mnie nodded.


    She freshened up, put on makeup, and headed downstairs...


    “Sorry for keeping everyone walling.”


    She descended the stairs to the dining room and saw Harlow and Leo already seated. Pam was there with Pam and Shane.


    Even Joseph, whoseplexion had Improved, had arrived.


    Everyone was waiting for her.


    “Please, have a seat.” Joseph personally greeted her..


    “Today is your family dinner. Is it appropriate for me to join?” Mnie politely smiled and chose a


    seat on the edge.


    “Aunt considers you as family, so you are also family to us. Of course, It’s appropriate.” Leo


    quickly added.


    Beside him, Harlow’s features twisted with some displeasure.


    “In that case, thank you,” Mnie replied and took her seat.


    The family dinner began.


    Harlow took the initiative to stand up and pour wine for everyone. It seemed that during this time at home, whether voluntarily or


    forcibly, he had rounded off his edges in front of everyone.


    “Aunt has suffered outside the home for these years. This is a good wine I’ve treasured for many

    Harlow’s eyes turned sharp, and he tightened the wine bottle in his hand. “Miss Mnie, is this your way of refusing to make


    amends to me?”


    “You''re overthinking it. It’s really due to health reasons,” Mnie replied casually.


    “Fine!” Harlow put down the wine bottle and stepped back. “Then I’ll personally serve you a bowl. of soup. It’s nourishing and


    also a gesture of apology from me.”


    With that, Harlow served Mnie a bowl of thick soup. Mnie didn’t want to make the situation


    awkward in front of the York Family, but as soon as the soup touched her tongue, a strong fishy


    taste assaulted her taste buds...


    Suddenly, her stomach churned wildly.


    “Ugh...!”


    She hurriedly covered her mouth and stammered, “I-I’m sorry, | need to excuse myself...”


    Harlow narrowed his eyes. He watched Mnie rush to the bathroom with a dark glint swirling in


    his eyes!
