Chapter 28

It took Melanie more than half an hour to cook a variety of dishes. While she was setting up the dining table, Wilson wheeled Derrick over to it. "Mr. Quinton, what would you like to eat?" Melanie had already prepared his plate for him. Derrick glanced at the variety of dishes on the dining table, which looked surprisingly appetizing. He remembered that Melanie usually only helped Jemima in the kitchen, yet these dishes looked even more appealing than Jemima's. However, he wasn't going to praise Melanie because he didn't want her to be smug. But considering how she had protected him that day, he decided to be a little less harsh. So, he replied, "Fish." Melanie noticed that he really did love fish and also assumed that Louisa had inherited his taste for it. She picked out a piece of fish and carefully removed the bones. Her long, silky hair fell forward as she bent over. It stood in sharp contrast to the vivid red of her full lips. While waiting to be fed, Derrick stared at her.
