"I promised Tiana not to tell anyone about her and . You should ask her yourself."
"Alright, see you tonight."
...
Evening.
Not only did the two young masters return, but there were also two guests at ho. The dinner had been prepared since the afternoon and was very lavish.
The people in the kitchen started gossiping.
"Isn’t it strange that Mr. Ford brought Miss Thorne back? He’s surely taking good care of her, instructing the kitchen about tonight’s als. But unexpectedly, Maxim ca to the kitchen."
"Really?" So young girls were both excited and puzzled.
The fourth master, who is usually so aloof, showing interest in a woman brought back by the first master is indeed surprising.
"Of course it’s true. The first master instructed to roast two big fat rabbits early on, but then Maxim also gave instructions to roast them, plus one more—he wanted a chicken roasted too."
"Does Miss Thorne love eating rabbit? Wow, that’s unique. Rabbits are so cute, yet she wants to eat them!" The young girls were incredulous.
"Exactly..."
Suddenly, a cold voice ca from behind, "What are you all doing standing around? Is the roasted rabbit ready?"
Everyone was startled and turned around to see Maxim with a stern expression.
"Yes, yes, it’s almost ready."
"Serve it up once it’s ready," Maxim said.
"Yes, yes."
"Yes, yes."
No one dared to slack off even a bit.
My god.
What exactly is the background of Miss Thorne?
Why did both young masters of the Ford family, who never enter the kitchen, co by? The first master even seed so attentive.
Tonight, the first dish to be made was roasted rabbit, followed by roasted chicken, all to serve Tiana Thorne. Not a mont of neglect was allowed.
Dining Room.
As the familiar aroma wafted over, Tiana Thorne felt as if she could hear herself gulping.
It slls so good.
It’s roasted rabbit!
This dish is sothing she never tires of, and just a slight sniff tells her what it is.
No, no, wait, there’s other roasted at as well. It seems to be... cluck cluck, chicken!
This is too fantastic.
Maxim sat right next to her, and he could almost see the joy in her fox-like eyes. If everyone was present, she’d probably tear off a rabbit leg and gorge on it.
Sure enough, the little gluttonous sister couldn’t help herself and secretly asked him, "Brother, hasn’t Mom already arrived? Who else are we waiting for tonight? Are there other special guests?"
May Sloane also whispered, "I think there might be. After all, with three big pots of roast at, it’s unlikely that you, , Mr. Ford, and Ms. Jarvis could finish it all..."
Maxim’s voice was gentle, "There’s one more person."
At this mont, the housekeeper briskly entered the dining room, smiling joyfully and said, "Madam, we’ve just received word that the fourth master went out and will return shortly; he should be near the old house now."
Rouge Jarvis lightly smiled, "Alright, we’ll wait for him."
She thought that Aiden went out this afternoon, perhaps as she hinted for him to confess to a girl, not knowing if he’d return alone or with soone.
Tiana Thorne was stunned. It took her a mont to react, furrowing her elegant brows and asking, "May, did I just hear wrong? The fourth master?"
May Sloane was equally confused, and after a mont’s thought, replied, "Yes, it’s about the fourth master..."
In the Ford family’s old house, anyone called a master must be Rouge Jarvis’s son.
Son...
Tiana Thorne was taken aback. Her fourth brother?
What the heck!? Really the fourth brother?
How prolific is Ms. Jarvis?
Fourth brother...
Fourth brother...
She echoed it silently, a subtle, indescribable joy trembling at her heart’s core.
After a long silence, she turned her head, intending to quietly ask her brother why he hadn’t told her she had so many brothers, causing such a shock...
But it seed she hadn’t asked, she hadn’t thought in that direction.
Imagine having a fourth brother.
No, after dinner, she must first et this brother!
May Sloane was at a loss for words to describe her feelings.
Why does Tiana have countless brothers, yet she has none?
Four brothers!
Seeing their camaraderie, this fourth one must also be doting on Tiana, which really is enviable.
Knowing she’d soon et her fourth brother, Tiana’s heart was still tense. When Rouge Jarvis chatted with the housekeeper, she cautiously asked, "Brother, have I t the fourth brother before?"
Maxim: "..."
It was the first ti he faced a question he found tricky to answer.
His expression softened a bit, and his voice was empathetic, "Tiana, no matter what happens later, don’t be upset with your brothers, alright?"
Tiana Thorne: "Uh... is it serious?"
"Actually..."
Just then, the dining room door swung open.
