Harry replied, "Alright."fnc674 ?????? ???? find{n}ovel/fnc674

Harry got up and walked over to Samuel. Without saying a word, Harry took the fork right out of Samuel''s hand. Then, Harry grabbed Samuel by the arm and pulled thetter up. Harry said, "Come on. Mom doesn''t want to see you."

Samuel swung a fist at Harry and shouted, "You''re such an ungrateful brat!"

The next evening, a ne touched down in Halewick. Afternding, two cars pulled out of the airport and split off in opposite directions.

Dominic and the others returned to the apartment. On the way upstairs, Raymond noticed that Vespera had lost a lot of weight. Concerned, he said, "Vespera, you''ve lost weight. Did you not eat properly on the trip? I made a lot of delicious food tonight. When you get settled..."

"Alright," agreed Vespera instantly.

Raymond was surprised. He hadn''t even finished talking.

Dominic looked at Vespera and couldn''t help but smile. In the elevator, Calvert

and Gerard had alreadytched onto Raymond''s arms, asking what was for dinner that night. They hadn''t had a real meal in three days.

Raymond chuckled. Was there a famine in Regalia?

As soon as Vespera dropped off her luggage, she headed straight for the penthouse. Without a word, she made a beeline for the kitchen.

The moment she saw the vibrant and fragrant dishes, her eyes lit up. Just one look at it and she knew it was delicious.

At this time, Raymond handed Vespera a bowl of soup and said, "Vespera, try this."

"Alright!" Vespera responded, cautiously taking the bowl. One sip of the soup, and her soul practically ascended. It was extremely delicious!

Raymond was confused as he mumbled, "I remember Susan''s cooking wasn''t bad either. I guess you aren''t a fan of foreign food."

Vespera took a few more sips before replying, "It''s just that thest two days were rough. We went to this ind, and the food there was horrifying. Gerard puked more than he ate."

Raymond became curious and asked, "Was it that bad? What did they cook?"

Vespera told Raymond about the dishes. Heughed as he listened, offering his ownmentary along the way. He exined to her that those were indeed the local dishes there.

They chatted as they ate, jumping from food to life in Regalia. They chatted until the conversation gradually shifted to Nancy.

Dominic had only briefly exined about Nancy, and Vespera had always wondered what truly happened. So, as Raymond cooked, he told Vespera what he knew.

Raymond sighed and said, "If you ask me, the whole mess started with Mrs. Reid. Back then, Mrs. Reid arranged for Mr. Harry and Ms. Acosta to go to middle school in Regalia and asked Mr. Dominic to keep an eye on them.

"As Mr. Dominic was the eldest, it made sense for him to look after the younger sibling. Although Mr. Dominic looks aloof, he always cares about family. To him, they were both kids. So, he tutored them and helped them adjust.

"However, Mr. Dominic forgot that they were at the age when they start to fall in love. At first, Mr. Dominic didn''t realize what was happening. Later, Ms. Acosta started acting strange.

"She would cling to Mr. Dominic after school and get upset if he talked to other women. That was when he finally realized that she liked him.

"When Mr. Harry found out, he fought with Mr. Dominic and ran away to Veloria. Mr. Dominic went after Mr. Harry and brought him back.

"That was when Mr. Dominic learned that Mr. Harry and Ms. Acosta had already been secretly dating. But once they got to Regalia, Ms. Acosta changed. Mr. Harry thought that Mr. Dominic stole his girlfriend. After that, Mr. Harry refused to talk to Mr. Dominic.

"Because of this,

Mr. Dominic tried

to talk it out with Mr. Harry and Ms. Acosta, but it was useless. Ms.

Acosta was convinced that Mr. Domino had feelings for her but wouldn''t admit it because of Mr. Harry. So, she started pulling all kinds of stunts to prove Mr. Dominic liked her.  s

"The more she spiraled, the more heartbroken Mr. Harry got. They fought all the time. During the worst fight she wanted to slit her wrists, and heaverdosed on steeping pals. Mr. Dominic was terrified, but he didn''t tell his parents, saying it wouldn''t fix anything.  s

"In the end, Mr. Dominic moved into the school dorms himself and transferred Mr.

Harry and Ms. Acosta to different schools. It seemed to have worked as things

finally quieted down for a while.

"But how could family members not

meet? For the past several years, whenever Ms. Acosta saw Mr. Dominic, she would be full of

resentment, don''t know what he has been telling Mr and Ms Reid but somehow, the story turned into her being Mr. Dominic''s ex-girlfriend."  s
