Chapter 4: An Unexpected Proposal (2) [Christian POV]
After finally moving to the dining room, I hoped that Georgio would grant me a moment of peace and quiet while he ate, but unfortunately, he had other plans.
Should I fire the chef?
The food failed to capture his attention, subjecting me to more of his unnecessary flattery. Looking around the table, I noticed that most of the Moresis were uninterested in the food, instead staring at me like hungry dogs.
Yep, I should definitely fire the chef...
My eyes traveled to the end of the table, where the youngest daughter was quietly focused on the food in front of her. I subtly watched as she happily took a few bites of food, her eyes curving into crescents.
The pure bliss on her face was a refreshing sight, making even me want to try the food.
On second thought, the chef worked hard.
My mind replayed the scene from our brief introduction. She seemed different from the rest of her family, but I wasn’t sure exactly how.
I turned my head to glance at the elder sister, who was staring ever so passionately at me. This was the type of look I was used to, often getting it from the many ladies of the upper society.

"Your quick decision to acquire the land in the auction last month was truly brilliant!" said Georgio, his voice laced thick with praise.
