“Shi Qian, you’d better eat on time and conserve your strength,” Arthur reminded her.
Shi Qian looked up at him and hesitated for a moment before slowly standing up.
Seeing that Shi Qian was convinced by him, Arthur’s mood improved a little.
When Shi Qian arrived at the cafeteria, she realized that the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. She recognized a few of them. They were the local specialties of Country F.
“This is my treat to you. Thank you for cooking for me personally. I don’t know what flavor you like, so I prepared a little more. Eat whatever you like,” Arthur said politely.
Shi Qian sat in a chair, silently picked up her cutlery, and ate the food closest to her.
Arthur poured himself a glass of wine and sat opposite Shi Qian to taste it.
Before he could finish his glass of wine, Shi Qian was already full. She wiped her mouth and said to Arthur, “I’m done eating. Mr. Arthur, enjoy.”
With that, Shi Qian left the cafeteria and went upstairs.
Arthur looked at Shi Qian’s back and secretly gripped the cup in his hand.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a video invitation. His expression darkened when he saw the profile picture.
After a few seconds, he picked up the call.
The scene in the video was Bliss’ manor. It was early in the morning, and they could see the sunlight shining through the window. Outside the window, there was a blue sky.
Bliss was sitting at the dining table, preparing breakfast.
He picked up the glass of milk and raised it at Arthur. “My breakfast is just in time for your dinner. It’s been a long time since we ate together.”
Arthur didn’t respond, so Bliss continued, “It should be said that the three of us haven’t eaten together.”
With that, Arthur turned the video in another direction.
Arthur saw the figure in the video and immediately became excited.
The woman in the video was wearing gorgeous clothes and was dressed elegantly. There was an expensive diamond necklace hanging around her neck. Such a noble dress did not match her appearance and temperament at all.
Her face was overly pale, and she was extremely thin. Her hair was withered and yellow, like a handful of hay. Her long life without seeing the light of day had caused her vision to decline greatly, and her reaction was especially slow.
The way she ate with a spoon was like a puppet on a string.
Arthur’s heart ached.
His mother had been worse than a marionette all these years.
“Arthur, when are you planning to return from France?”
“I bought an island at the South Coves. The environment there is beautiful and the weather is pleasant. It’s very suitable for my mother to recuperate there. Get someone to send my mother to the South Coves. We’ll meet there.” Arthur’s tone was completely non-negotiable.
“The South Coves?” Bliss smiled.
Arthur had really grown independent. On the other side of the South Coves, it was his sworn enemy. Arthur really knew how to pick a place.
“Let’s talk after you leave France safely. It won’t be too late for me to go to the South Coves then.”
“Okay.” Arthur nodded.
When Shi Qian returned upstairs, she heard a sound downstairs and specially sneaked out to eavesdrop.
She heard him mention the South Coves.
Arthur, it seemed, was prepared to take her to the South Coves and barter her with his mother.
Shi Qian searched around the house, thinking about how to leave some clues for Fu Sinian.
This clue could not be left too obvious and could not be discovered by Arthur!
