CHAPTER 23: CHAPTER 23: ETHAN STERLING GROWS SUSPICIOUS!

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

To be honest, she can’t even tell if Nanny Lynch is helping her or sabotaging her right now.

She just sneaked back from the food street, and she really can’t eat another bite!

But this is a golden opportunity!

Seraphina Redgrave looked bewildered as she grabbed the napkin in her hand and casually tossed it aside with a lack of manners. Then she picked up a spoon from the table, recklessly scooped up a large pile of food from the bowl, and without so much as a glance, stuffed it directly into her mouth, nearly choking.

Because she "very carelessly choked," she suddenly spat out all the food remnants from her mouth.

Nathan Ayers, standing nearby, could even see a grain or two of rice stuck on Ethan Sterling’s face, who was sitting directly across from Seraphina.

Alright then, aren’t you interested in lunatics? I’ll go crazy for you to see, and completely crush your hopes!

Nanny Lynch was startled, thinking that if Seraphina continued to act out, she’d have a heart attack!

She stepped forward, disregarding any sense of decorum, and pressed a handkerchief tightly over Seraphina’s mouth.

Ethan Sterling sat calmly across from her, touched the rice on his face, and nonchalantly brushed it off.

He glanced at his fingers for a moment, then slowly looked up at the feigning mad Seraphina.

"What to do, little one? I’m finding you more and more interesting!"

What the... if you’re sick, get treated!

"Ahhhhhh—"

Seraphina completely lost it, got up, and started running around the room. Food remnants flew everywhere as she moved, while Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman followed her, trying to get her to sit down and eat properly...

Chaos reigned in the living room, like a barnyard in disarray.

Nathan Ayers thought that President Sterling’s actions today were utterly baffling! Amidst this chaotic scene, he could composedly utter the words "very interesting"...

"President Sterling! Miss, she’s just being immature. You are generous, let me clean this up for you right away!"

Granny Coleman stepped forward with a handkerchief, ready to tidy Ethan Sterling up a bit.

Meanwhile, Nanny Lynch had managed to calm Seraphina down. While gently patting her back, she turned to Ethan Sterling.

"President Sterling, it seems Miss has been a little shaken and can’t eat properly right now. How about I take her back to her room, so as not to disturb your meal?"

Great, Nanny Lynch, you’re my best teammate!

Seraphina continued swatting at the air, desperately hoping Ethan Sterling would let her go back to her room—she couldn’t keep up the act anymore.

"No need, don’t hold her back. I’m curious to see how long she’ll keep this up!"

Ethan Sterling took the handkerchief from Granny Coleman and casually wiped himself.

Hearing this from Ethan Sterling, neither Granny Coleman nor Nanny Lynch dared to contradict him directly.

Fearing that Seraphina might anger Ethan Sterling again, they took it upon themselves to hold the bowl and gently fed her bite by bite. Luckily, Seraphina didn’t resist too much.

"Is there anything she particularly likes to eat?"

Ethan Sterling idly watched Seraphina eating her meal quietly like a lazy cat.

"Our Miss is well-behaved; she likes everything,"

Nanny Lynch thought carefully and earnestly recalled that Seraphina wasn’t picky at all.

"I see!" Ethan Sterling looked at Seraphina with a meaningful gaze. "But when it comes to picky eating, there are things that are absolutely forbidden, like roast lamb."

Seraphina felt like she had been sentenced to death.

Of all times, why mention roast lamb now?

Ethan Sterling must know something.

Granny Coleman and Nanny Lynch were confused, though, finding Ethan Sterling’s comment a bit inexplicable.

"President Sterling, how can that be? Although our family has everything and lacks no delicacies, roast lamb, well, it’s hardly something that can be served on the table. Rest assured, it would never appear in our home."

Seraphina closed her eyes, cold sweat forming on her forehead.

Did Ethan Sterling know about her activities today, and had he sent someone to investigate her?

Was it just a casual comment, or was it a deliberate test?

Ethan Sterling slowly got up from the sofa and walked toward Seraphina.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Seraphina felt each of his steps pounded on her heart, causing it to tremble.

Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman sensibly retreated but glanced back worriedly, only to find Ethan Sterling already close to Seraphina.

He leaned down, staring at Seraphina intently, his hands resting restlessly on her waist, moving slowly, like a seductive spirit.

He blew a breath against her ear, attempting to charm her.

"Be good. As my woman, Ethan Sterling’s woman, even eating is something that requires my consent. Don’t force me to personally ’educate’ you, understood?"

Ethan Sterling’s words, like a deadly incantation, slowly bombarded her nerves. Seraphina felt as though her life would end there that day.

In terms of ruthlessness, no one could surpass Ethan Sterling.
