Chapter 275
Judy kept a watchful eye on Lumma. “Lumma, can you handle spicy food?”
Lumma smiled. “I’m also from Soothy City.”
Judy eximed, “What a coincidence! Not only do you share the same name as Adam’s wife, but
you’re also from the same city and work as Adam’s assistant. It seems that our family and people with
the surname Louis are truly destined.”
Lumma also found it quite remarkable. The surname Louis was already rare, and to share a name with
Adam’s wife seemed like a fortunate twist of fate.
“Could you please pause for a moment?” Adam worried that Judy’s excessive talking might raise
Lumma’s suspicions. He promptly scooped some food onto Judy’s te with a serving spoon. “I’ve told
you countless times, ‘Silence at the table.”
Judy leaned closer to Lumma and whispered, “Lumma, look at how strict Adam is. I bet only his wife
can tolerate him. With his personality, no other woman would be interested in him.”
“That’s not true. Your brother is quite popr out there,” Lumma replied in a low voice with a smile.
As Adam’s assistant, Lumma was well aware of Adam’s poprity. Wherever Lumma apanied
him, she could see there were always people eager to strike up a conversation with Adam.
Despite knowing he was married, many women actively sought his attention.

Judymented, “Those women are attracted to him because of his looks and wealth. If he had
neither, it would be a different story with his temperament.”
Lumma chuckled, “But he does have both looks and wealth.”
“Let’s not discuss him anymore,” Judy said. “Lumma, these dishes suit your taste, so please help
yourself.”
“Do you like spicy food?” Lumma asked.
“When I was in college, my close friends came from all over the country. We often went out to eat
together/sampling each friend’s regional cuisine. It took some getting used to, but gradually I could eat
any dish. That’s why I’m not a picky eater anymore,” Judy exined.
“Not being a picky eater is great. It allows you to savor various culinary delights. Do you eat canned
salmon and blue cheese?” Lumma inquired.
Judy nodded enthusiastically, “Yes, I love them. But Adam doesn’t eat them, so we never have those
two items at home. Whenever I crave them, I have to eat out.”
“People who are picky eaters are unfortunate. They’ll never experience the joy of indulging in canned
salmon and blue cheese,” Lumma remarked.
“You two can talk a bit louder, so I can hear you more clearly,” Adam interrupted.
Lumma felt a pang of guilt.
They had been engrossed in their conversation, unintentionally ignoring the pickiest eater sitting right
next to them.
“Adam, we weren’t saying anything negative about you,” Judy retorted.
“I’m not deaf. Let’s focus on the meal,” Adam replied.
With their superior issuing orders, Lumma had no choice but to obediently eat her food and refrain from
further idle chatter.
These dishes were all Lumma’s favorites, and the chef’s culinary skills were outstanding. Lumma
couldn’t resist indulging in the delicious food, and by the time she finished, her stomach was full to the
brim.
Marie brought Lumma some nourishing soup. “Ms. Louis, this soup was specially prepared for you. It
will help replenish your body.”
Lumma’s stomach couldn’t handle any more. “Marie, can I skip it, please?”
Marie smiled and said, “I’ll keep it warm. You can have itter when your stomach settles in the
afternoon.”
“Thank you, Marie!” Lumma expressed her gratitude. This family was too kind to her, and the more they
treated her well, the more ufortable she felt, as if she were encroaching on the position of thedy
of the house.
Feeling full and ovee by sleepiness, Judy’s exhaustion was clearly evident. She covered her
mouth and let out a yawn, saying, “Lumma, now that we’re full, let’s take a short nap.”
“Sounds good.” Lumma looked at Adam and said, “Mr. Hills, I’ll go rest for a while.”
Adam nodded, remaining silent.
As Lumma entered her room, her personal phone buzzed a few times. She quickly grabbed it, relieved
that this time it was a message from Lucas.
