Chapter 655 She Marries Me or I Join Her Family
“Leaving any food would be wasteful. We can’t afford to waste food, so you have to finish.” Scarlet laid down her ultimatum. Theodore and Stephen wanted to speak up in defense, but they were immediately shut down by Scarlet.
“You two are constantly shielding her! It’s your indulgence that has led to her picky eating habit!
“No more words today! She is always eating so little every day. You guys are spoiling her, which is harmful to her!” With Scarlet’s words, the severity of the situation was heightened. Theodore and Stephen could only swallow their protests.
Lincoln, however, lightly stroked Zayla’s little head and whispered, “Zayla, you do eat too little, you always feel so light in my arms. “But you’re right, Scarlet. Still, we should approach this gradually.” Lincoln’s tone was mild, unhurried, his deep voice soothing. His commanding aura enveloped her, offering protection.
Zayla instinctively looked up at him, her grip on her fork tightening. Whether it was Lincoln’s convincing words or his bewitching voice that swayed Scarlet, she nodded her agreement.
“So how do you propose we progress gradually? How do we correct her little picky eating habit?”
Lincoln chuckled, “For example, she could eat three more shrimp dumplings today, and we can increase it tomorrow.” “Just as you said then.” As soon as she finished speaking, Scarlet Tooked at Zayła and issued her ultimatum. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Three shrimp dumplings. You’re not leaving until they’re finished.” Compared to the full plate of food, three dumplings were nothing.
One after another, Zayla stuffed the dumplings into her mouth. After finishing the three dumplings, she put down her fork, signifying her task was complete. “Wasting food,” Scarlet lamented with an air of helplessness, “It won’t go to waste.” Lincoln picked up the conversation, then took Zayla’s plate and finished all the food on it. At Lincoln’s actions, Scarlet’s expression changed instantly. “Lincoln, are you…”
“Whatever she can’t finish, I always take care of it.” Zayla was speechless about this suggestion.
Scarlet was at a loss for words. So was Theodore. Stephen’s expression changed, and he quickly said, “Zayla, are you full? I’ll get the car.” Zayla immediately nodded, hurriedly getting up to follow Stephen’s pace.
Lincoln turned his head, watching this scene, feeling a slight sting in his eyes. But if he were to chase after them now, the girl might get angry.
A wife should be cherished, coaxed, going along with her whims. Especially in situations like this… After Zayla left with Stephen, Theodore and Scarlet exchanged a glance, both deciding to confront the issue head-on.
After all, Lincoln was the man who had saved Theodore’s life, in a sense, he was no stranger.
“Lincoln, tell us honestly, what are your intentions towards Zayla? It seems she’s not quite comfortable with you,” Theodore ventured. “Mr. Vargas, my intentions are clear. Either she marries me, or I marry into her family.”
“Cough cough…” Theodore stared at him in surprise. “Then why not seize this golden opportunity? Once something would have happened last night, the deal would be sealed!”
Upon hearing this, Scarlet immediately looked at Theodore, “You… You locked them in the room last night for this reason?”
Theodore immediately changed the topic, “Lincoln, it seems Zayla’s attitude towards you is quite ambiguous. You may have to try harder.
“If you take care of our daughter, we old folks will be at ease. So don’t let us down.” Lincoln nodded, “Rest assured, Mr. Vargas.” After thanking the couple for their hospitality, he left the Vargas family. As soon as Lincoln left, Scarlet grabbed Theodore’s ear!
“Ah, honey… Be gentle with my ear!” “How could you come up with such an idea?” Stephen drove to Twilight Studio.
“Stephen, I can go in by myself, you go do your thing.” Stephen glanced at his phone. Was this a polite way to tell him to leave? “I’m not busy today, I’ll accompany you.”
“I’m just here to check on the project progress. Stephen, if you show up, it’ll definitely cause a commotion.”
“Let’s go, I’ll be your bodyguard today.’ Stephen insisted. To be blunt, he was just not at ease with Zayla being alone.
“Your bodyguard service is a bit expensive, Stephen. It costs a lot.” “It’s free.” “Stephen, will you still be my brother in the next life?”
