Chapter 606 Burning Up

Abraham continued, “The kitchen’s had your dietary restrictions for a while now.”

Stella blinked in surprise.

Well, naturally. Abraham wasn’t the kind of guy who overlooked stuff like that.

If it was a genuine accident, maybe–maybe—he’d let it slide. But if someone knew better and still messed up? That was a whole different story.

“Still feeling sick?”

“I’m fine now. Just make sure Abel keeps an eye on Marie.”

Ella was Morris’s fiancée, after all. The family backing her wasn’t one to underestimate.

Abraham scoffed. “Even Morris wouldn’t dare stir up trouble here. Ella’s nothing.”

Stella blinked again.

He had a point.

She thought back to the footage–Morris’s crew had gotten wrecked. As long as they were in Falvaria, Marie was untouchable.

That thought gave Stella some peace of mind.

Because of her picky appetite, Abraham had punished the kitchen staff earlier today, and by the afternoon, the butler had already called an emergency meeting.

Now that Stella could finally eat something she actually liked, if they screwed up again, it wouldn’t just be a three–day pay cut–people would start losing jobs.

Everyone in the Dawson family knew–Stella meant the world to Abraham.

After lunch.

Stella had been running around all morning. Now she just wanted anap.

Abraham was sitting on the living room couch reviewing some urgent files, while Stella curled up beside him, resting her head on his lap, slowly drifting off.

He looked down and saw her lips pressed together, her lashes drooping with exhaustion.

This quiet moment of peace made him smile gently. “Sleepy?”

“Mhm,” Stella murmured.

He gently brushed a few strands of hair off her cheek and gave the butler a look.

The butler got the message and quickly had someone bring over a blanket.

By the time it reached Abraham’s hands, Stella had already fallen half–asleep.

He covered her gently…

Meanwhile.

Tessa had been especially clingy ever since she came down with a fever.

She even made Victor bring in two more housekeepers to the villa. When Silas arrived with the new staff-

“You checked their backgrounds, right?” Victor’s voice was cold.

Silas nodded. “Don’t worry. They’re clean.”

Lewis’s face was still swollen–obviously roughed up pretty bad by Silas.

The moment he saw Victor, tears welled up in his eyes. He looked downright pitiful.

Victor didn’t spare him a glance.

He just told Silas, “Have someone keep an eye on her.”

Women–always so fragile.

He used to think that just seeing the way Stella acted around Abraham was enough proof. That softness… it wasn’t his thing. That was probably why Victor had always kept his distance from women.

Even someone like Marie.

The moment she got a scrape during a mission, she’d cry out like she’d been shot. Just constant noise and drama. In a word? Exhausting.

Silas nodded. “Got it.”

But Lewis decided this was the perfect time to speak up. “So… are we still checking if she’s actually a spy?”

They had already broken the rule of not hiring extra help.

Even Lewis, as slow as he was, could tell Tessa held a different place in Victor’s heart now.

heart

And Silas–he froze when he heard that.

He slowly turned, dead inside, and stared at Lewis.

Seriously? Your face is still swollen, and you’re still mouthing off? Didn’t learn a damn thing?

Silas sucked in a breath. “Victor, he’s just…”

The moment he saw Victor’s expression, Silas went stiff. The way Victor was eyeing Lewis felt cold. Really

cold.

Silas’s jaw clenched. “So, um… Dr. Eddie said the team out in the Mambia Desert is short–staffed. I actually think Lewis would be perfect for the job. Want me to put in the request?”

God, this is as far as I can go to help you, man. He really has no clue. Doesn’t even know when to shut up. If he keeps this up, he won’t live much longer.

But when Lewis heard “Mambia Dessert,” he panicked. “No, no, no, I’m not going there!”

Silas raised an eyebrow.
