CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 106: CAN SHE WIN HIS HEART?

"I can’t eat these things."

She had just had her stomach washed, her digestive system was still fragile.

"Hmm." Ethan Sterling smirked knowingly, "So I’m here to eat it in front of you."

Seraphina Redgrave was at a loss for words.

Is this guy a professional food streamer? Or is he here just to irritate people?

"Nanny Lynch said you love to eat, you enjoy quite a bit of the home-cooked meals they make, so you should like these even more."

As Ethan Sterling spoke, he picked up a silver knife and fork and sliced a piece of Wellington beef, then spoke slowly: "The beef used is the highest grade Japanese Wagyu, made by a Michelin five-star chef, the taste should be good."

Then, he put that piece of supposedly divine beef into his mouth.

Seraphina Redgrave sat across from Ethan Sterling, watching him chew the tender beef bite by bite, she could already sense the unique texture of the crispy crust and the umami taste of the beef.

She had never had Wellington beef before, only felt her mouth watering uncontrollably.

Seeing Seraphina Redgrave staring at him motionlessly, he smiled at her: "Want to eat? I’ll eat another bite for you."

Ethan Sterling is really a jerk.

Seraphina Redgrave took a deep breath, suppressing her urge to have a showdown with Ethan Sterling right now, then turned to look at the two maids.

This is what they called him liking her?

This is the kind of liking? She wished she could slap him twice herself.

The two maids were extremely embarrassed too, Young Master Sterling always doesn’t play by the rules, but this time he went too far.

"What else do you want to eat?"

Ethan Sterling looked at Seraphina Redgrave with a smile, the underlying meaning being, whatever she wanted to eat, Ethan Sterling would eat it for her.

Seraphina Redgrave forced herself to look down: "I like eating porridge."

Then without glancing at Ethan Sterling, she started spooning porridge into her mouth.

Compared to this large table of dishes, the porridge was extremely bland.

Ethan Sterling switched to eating a plate of hot spring egg: "Nathan Ayers, introduce this dish."

Nathan Ayers did not react for a moment, since when did Young Master Sterling have this rule?

Then seeing Seraphina Redgrave sitting across from Ethan Sterling, struggling to swallow the rice soup, he immediately got the hint and started explaining: "Lobster soup stewed with caviar drizzled over hot spring egg paired with Dragon Well tea, 63 degrees hot spring egg soaked with luxurious ingredients like caviar, Japanese sweet shrimp and lobster broth made from simmering, paired with Dragon Well tea for enjoying, the best way to eat is to mix all the ingredients together. The taste is fragrant and smooth, carrying the egg’s original aroma, yet encompasses the fresh aroma of the ocean. . . "

Seraphina Redgrave looked up at Nathan Ayers, her gaze forlorn, it really wasn’t necessary to describe it in such detail, even describing the taste was completely unnecessary.

She mechanically turned her head to look at Ethan Sterling, only to see him scoop up a mouthful of hot spring egg into his mouth, savoring slowly, until he swallowed, "It is quite delicious."

Seraphina Redgrave gritted her teeth, her hand holding the spoon trembled slightly.

"Now you think porridge is hard to swallow?"

Ethan Sterling seemingly came just to laugh at her.

Seraphina Redgrave didn’t want to say a word.

Ethan Sterling put down his utensils, his face turned cold: "Just tempted by this? Then never eat any stimulating food again, are you planning to die again?"

"Just for a period of time, it’ll get better later."

She had long been hardened and impassive to threats, how could she fear mere stimulating foods.

"I said, no, you can never touch them again in this lifetime."

"This lifetime?"

Seraphina Redgrave was dumbfounded, Ethan Sterling was too extreme, she had to report to Ethan Sterling what she eats and drinks in this life? Forget it, anyway, she couldn’t stay by Ethan Sterling’s side forever, when the time comes, the sky will be high and the emperor far away, he won’t have a say in what she eats.

Thinking of this, Seraphina Redgrave stopped tangling, continued sipping porridge.

Flavorless.

Just like plain water.

After a long silence between the two, Nathan Ayers suddenly spoke: "Young Master Sterling, a few consortiums have asked openly and covertly, what’s your stance towards the Redgrave Family?"

Almost everyone knew about Mia Redgrave’s connection with Ethan Sterling, those consortiums all wanted to show off in front of Ethan Sterling, yet didn’t know Ethan Sterling was on the verge of destroying the Redgrave family and their daughter.

"Let them know, I’ll protect the Redgrave Family."

Ethan Sterling cut another piece of meat, put it in his mouth.

Hearing this, Seraphina Redgrave’s action of sipping porridge halted, stopped and began watching Ethan Sterling who was sitting across from her.

The one pouring poison and washing the stomach on the Redgrave mother and daughter was him, the one saying he’d protect the Redgrave Family was also him.

What’s he planning?

She previously thought Ethan Sterling had gone to A Country, and when he returned everything would have settled, but unexpectedly he left business behind and came back so early, not sure if those students at Sovereign College could handle Ethan Sterling’s powerful influence.

Seraphina Redgrave was immersed in her own world, never thought Ethan Sterling suddenly started watching her, the icy gaze made her unable to daydream.

He watched Seraphina Redgrave for quite a while, finally raised an eyebrow: "What are you thinking?"

Hearing she was starting to worry after knowing he would protect the Redgrave Family, then quickly pleased him, seeing clearly she couldn’t manage without him.

Seraphina Redgrave smiled at Ethan Sterling, as if totally unaffected by Ethan Sterling’s words.

"It doesn’t matter, there will be chances in the future."

Tsk.

This woman just can’t learn to beg.

Whether he protects the Redgrave Family or not, is just a matter of flapping his lips.

Insisting on seeking trouble for herself.

Obstinate.

Ethan Sterling glared fiercely at Seraphina Redgrave, his hands didn’t stop, using the knife that shimmered coldly to slice a piece of lamb chop.

Seraphina Redgrave no longer paid attention to Ethan Sterling, resumed sipping porridge, lost in her own thoughts.

Ethan Sterling stood up, handed her a bowl of soup in a blue-and-white porcelain bowl, ordered: "Drink."

Nathan Ayers was sweating cold, afraid the two might argue at any moment, hastily explained: "Young Master Sterling inquired with the doctor, this kind of sweet soup with the ingredients removed can be consumed a bit."

Though sweet soup might not compare to that whole table of dishes, it was far better than the utterly tasteless porridge.

Seraphina Redgrave looked at Ethan Sterling, blinked, not knowing what to say.

One moment wanting to protect the Redgrave Family, the next moment being good to her, what’s he really planning?

Ethan Sterling looked at Seraphina Redgrave, spoke to Nathan Ayers: "If there’s indeed a consortium daring to protect the Redgrave Family, deal with them altogether."

"Yes, Young Master Sterling."

Nathan Ayers nodded.

Seraphina Redgrave understood, he wasn’t intending to protect the Redgrave Family, just wanted to purge those blind consortiums standing on the Redgrave side clean.

Whether it’s the sweet soup or the Redgrave Family, Ethan Sterling has always stood by her side.

She put down the spoon, didn’t know where to place her hands and feet: "...Thank you."

"No need to thank, you should know, everything in the world has a price tag."

His help included.

Seraphina Redgrave had nothing left to say.

Nathan Ayers and the two maids stood to the side, pretending they didn’t have ears.

After eating, they left.

Ethan Sterling didn’t go back, instead he took a bath.

Seraphina Redgrave lay on the bed watching the news, before long, Ethan Sterling emerged from the bathroom, wearing a white bathrobe, the strap tied casually, even revealing his beautifully contoured chest muscles through the collar.
