Free Web NovelChapter 1118: Chapter 1117: Why Hold Grudges Against the Past
After being talked around by Fiona, Nia’s stomach suddenly started growling loudly.
Uh...
So embarrassing.
The sound was super loud; in the entire ward, all three of them heard it.
Mrs. Huangfu walked over with the food, smiling.
"Miss Mitchell hasn’t had dinner yet, has she? Perfect timing, come eat with Fiona."
Nia gave Mrs. Huangfu an embarrassed smile.
"It’s okay, I can just go out and eat later."
Mortified, she had no idea how she was supposed to face Mrs. Huangfu after this.
"It’s fine, Fiona can’t eat that much anyway. Stay and eat with her."
Unable to refuse such kindness, Nia ended up staying.
Fiona’s meals focused on nutrition, there were lots of dishes, and they were all really delicious.
It was just that Fiona was eating very slowly, as if it were a bit of a struggle.
Nia picked up a small piece of Tofu, put it in her mouth, and at once it filled her mouth with flavor.
So good!
She hadn’t known Tofu could taste this amazing.
"Fiona, Fiona, this one’s really good."
Fiona’s face instantly lit up with a smile.
"Yeah? Let me try."
In a second, the two of them were like they’d gone back to their school days, tasting each other’s food and recommending dishes back and forth.
"It really is great. This dish is good too, you should try it."
"Okay."
......
The meal was lively and warm; maybe because the little foodie Nia was there, Fiona ate much more than she usually did and didn’t have any discomfort.
"Seeing how you ate today, I think we should have Miss Mitchell come keep you company for every meal."
Mrs. Huangfu was very pleased; these two were clearly still just little girls.
You’d never guess one was already married and the other was about to be a mom.
Nia smiled. Back then Fiona often said that whenever she ate with Nia, the food always became extra delicious and her appetite would surge.
"Fiona actually isn’t picky at all, maybe she’s just been feeling unwell these past few days."
Afraid Fiona might leave a bad impression in front of Mrs. Huangfu, Nia quickly spoke up to explain for her.
"I know."
Mrs. Huangfu replied with a smile. She understood Nia’s intention, and her smile grew even gentler.
The bond between Fiona and Nia was truly deep.
"Alright, you stay here with her, I’m going to have my lunch too."
With that, she finally took her own meal to the side and began to eat.
Seeing her like this, Fiona’s eyes grew a little red.
For an Elder to do this much was deeply comforting.
There were probably very few people in this world who could be like Mrs. Huangfu.
"Auntie, I’m much better now, you don’t have to keep staying here with me."
Fiona spoke up right away.
"It’s alright, I don’t really have anything to do at home anyway."
She smiled, and after speaking she went on eating...
Mrs. Huangfu finished her meal quickly and then tidied everything up.
"Miss Mitchell, about Young Master Peary, you should communicate more with him. Besides, even if it’s true, so what? After all, it’s something in the past."
Her voice was very gentle, carrying a kind of persuasive power that was hard to refute.
She was right.
Even if it was true, so what?
The one by Maxwell Peary’s side now was her, Nia Mitchell.
Those past things should stay in the past.
"Thank you, Auntie, I understand."
Nia smiled, clearly letting out a breath of relief.
