Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2237

Andrew's expression remained unchanged. "No worries. If they want to cause trouble, let them. We'll just eat out. I'll take you somewhere good."

Just then, Sheena walked in casually, her high ponytail swaying as she hummed a tune. As usual, a dozen or so Lloyd family members followed behind her like an entourage. A few of the younger guys glanced at Andrew with cold smirks, clearly responsible for the missing cafeteria food.

Andrew remained unfazed and was about to walk past them when Sheena suddenly called out, "Stop right there."

Andrew looked at her with a smile. "What now, Sheena? Got some advice for me? Just so you know, it's early morning, I haven't eaten, and I don't have the energy to fight."

Sheena scoffed dismissively. "With those skinny arms and short legs of yours, I wouldn't bother picking on you. Over there, I had them save two meals for you guys. Go eat up so people don't say you brought a girlfriend home and couldn't even feed her properly, making the Lloyd family look bad."

Andrew noticed Annie standing at a side window, holding two plates of food with a cheerful smile. He immediately understood that Sheena had specifically saved these meals for him and Natasha.

"Thanks, Sheena," Andrew said gratefully. Then, without hesitation, he took Natasha's hand and headed over to eat.

Annie handed him a few bread rolls as well. "Andy, don't blame me for treating you that way earlier. It's just that the other gentlemen ordered us not to save anything, so I had to…"

Andrew smiled understandingly. Annie had been cooking for the Lloyd family for ten years and had always treated him well. However, some people within the Lloyd family could not stand Andrew, and as servants who needed to survive, they had no choice but to follow orders.

While eating, Natasha glanced over at Sheena in the distance and pursed her lips. "Darling, she seems hot and cold toward you. What's her deal?"

Andrew smiled back. "Finish eating, then we'll go out and buy some household stuff."

These past few days had been the happiest of Natasha's life. As a widow, Andrew not only did not look down on her, but he also brought her home to meet his family first.

To her, stepping into his family's world was the closest thing to true recognition. Lauren, Francesca, Aspen, and Chantelle had not gotten that chance.

After finishing their meal, the two went out shopping for household items. On the street, a white Bentley pulled up elegantly, and the window rolled down.

It revealed Mikayla's stunningly beautiful profile, along with Isabelle's doll-like face, who seemed perpetually lost in thought.
