    Roseanne couldn''t help but think of Mamie''s legendary appetite as she nced at the meager offeringsid before her.


    This wouldn''t even be a snack for Mamie.


    No way she''dst two hours without raiding the fridge.


    But against all odds-


    After two sses, Mamie was as calm as a cucumber, showing no signs of wanting a snack attack.


    What the...


    Roseanne was taken aback.


    Not hungry, really?


    If Mamie heard that, she''d probably leap up, tears in her eyes, protesting: Hungry? I''m starving! How could I not be hungry?


    Indeed, at this moment, Mamie felt dizzy and her stomach was growling away. She was fantasizing about her stash of potato chips, cookies, cupcakes, spicy sticks, chicken feet...


    Oh, the agony!


    Must resist!


    Roseanne had no clue about Mamie''s struggle and assumed she genuinely wasn''t hungry.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    But when Mamie ate barely anything the next morning, Roseanne suddenly realized


    "Mamie, are you on a diet?"


    "Ugh! Roseanne, why is it so hard? You eat so much, and I eat so much, yet you''re not hungry by noon, and I''m starving in less than half an hour." It''s just so unfair.


    "Why the sudden diet?"


    This didn''t sound like the Mamie she knew.


    The Mamie she knew never fretted over her figure or cared about others'' opinions. If she wanted to eat or drink something, she''d just go for it, all for the sake of happiness and joy!


    But now...


    Roseanne''s gaze deepened: "Are you... in love?"


    This question made Scales, who was sitting in the front row, whirl around with a deep, prating look: "With whom?"


    Mamie: "?"


    She quickly waved her hands: "No, no! Absolutely not!"


    Roseanne: "Then, is there someone you like?"


    A girl suddenly caring about her appearance often meant there was a crush involved.


    "No, how could that be?"


    But her tone wasn''t as firm as before.


    Scales frowned deeply, giving her a once-over: "Don''t get fooled by anyone."


    Mamie: "As if! Who do you think I am?"


    Roseanne Dieting like this isn''t the way to go. Even if you want to eat less, you have to do it gradually, or your body won''t be able to handle it."


    Mamie touched her stomach: "I don''t feel that hungry now, I guess I''m getting used to the hunger..."


    If she hadn''t been ogling the

    Meanwhile, Duke was fraught with worry.


    Mamie was the only daughter in their family, and ever since they could afford it, they followed the expert''s advice— Spoil your daughter rotten!


    What did a rough and tumble guy like him know about spoiling? If she wanted something, he''d give it to her.


    As for his daughter being called fat?


    He couldn''t care less. Being plump was adorable, a sign of good fortune!


    Anyone who said otherwise was just jealous!


    But something felt off sincest week...


    Mamie''s allowance, usually a hefty sum deposited monthly into her ount, sometimes even more if needed, suddenly dropped from five


    digits to four. This was


    rming!


    UMS


    He called to check on her, half-expecting to hear she was ill, only to be floored by the mention of dieting.


    At that moment, Duke was sipping tea, which he spat out in shock, standing up abruptly: "What? You''re dieting?"
