    The meal was incredibly harmonious. My mom, being thoughtful, had already recognized Zoey, but perhaps to spare her any difort, she didn''t show it


    She still treated Zoey like a guest.


    However, a keen observer would see that tonight''s dinner catered to both my and Zoey''s tastes, with spicy dishes for me and lighter ones for her.


    The table was filled with dishes from all over the world, and Zoey didn''t seem to think much of it.


    It was Bill, on the other hand, who had a sneaky vibe about him, constantly serving food to everyone- from my mother to Carter and me, even Nichs-before thest piece of spare ribs finally made it to Zoey''s te. He appeared to believe that such an act would never catch him.


    Nichs was perplexed after receiving his meal.


    Wait! Has this guy losing his mind? He actually came up with a devious n to gain favor and make me ufortable.


    Nichs found it disgusting but didn''t want to seem rude, as he was a cultured man.


    Internally, he cursed Bill for his malicious method.


    I watched as Nichs quietly pushed the ginger Bill had ced in his te aside.


    Carter, on the other hand, was blissfully unaware of the drama, focusing only on serving me.


    My mom served me a piece of food and then repeated the same action for Zoey.


    Janice, don''t be shy here; just treat it like home."


    Zoey was slightly more at ease now, nodding enthusiastically. "Okay."


    Bill stood up and said, "The soup''s still simmering in the kitchen. Let me bring it out."


    He walked around serving soup to everyone, but Nichs quickly pulled back his bowl. "Thanks, I''m good."


    Then, Nichs served mom some vegetables. He said. Philippa, you haven''t had much vegetabletely. You need to keep a bnced diet."


    Bill rushed to serve Zoey soup and joined the battle


    "She''s not a rabbit and doesn''t need to eat so many vegetables. Eat some fish to get protein."


    Nichs countered, "Eat the marrow, for calcium."


    Bill fired back, "Eat pork liver, for iron."


    Mom had no words.


    Her te was overflowing with food.

    I was ovee withplicated feelings; when men acted childish, it was like dealing with a three-year-old. Zoey had a small smile on her face.


    It was nice. Mom had finallye out of the dark ce she''d been in.


    Only Carter and I remained detached from the situation-he served me food, and I gave him soup.


    We remained silent and quietly watched the show.


    After the meal, Nichs and Bill stood up almost simultaneously.


    Bill''s movements were exaggerated, as if he were making a noble sacrifice.


    "I''ll wash the dishes. You all can go rest.


    Nichs sneered coldly and mocked, "How many tes are you nning to break today, Mr. Gardner?"


    The two of them were once again ready for a showdown over the dishes.


    Mom shook her head helplessly. It seemed like this drama yed out every day.


    Zoey timidly spoke up, "Maybe I should wash them!"


    Mom took her hand and said, "You''re a guest. How could I let you wash dishes? Would you like to walk around the yard? The mountain air is nice, and sometimes you can see fireflies." "Sure, Zoey smiled and agreed.


    Mom reached for me, but I didn''t want to interrupt their mother-daughter time, so I linked arms with Carter. "Carter and I will walk through the area."All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I winked at her. She understood my intention without me needing to say anything.


    Bill, noticing Zoey was about to leave, immediately grabbed a woolen shawl and draped it over her shoulder. He urged, "It''s chilly at night; don''t catch a cold."


    Nichs, who was clearing tes, thought, Sh*t! Missed my chance. That sycophant


    When Zoey looked at him and secretlyughed at him Bill quickly threw Mom''s knitted cardigan over her, avoiding looking directly into her eyes. "Go ahead Zoey tightly clutched the cardigan. When she turned around, I saw a glimmer of tears in her eyes.


    Carter and I stepped outside.


    The area was quiet, with only a few houses around, along with the farm''s staff quarters.


    But the roads within several miles had all been newly equipped with streetlights, and especially near our house, there were whimsical, fairy-tale-themed lights. There were little animals hidden in the grass and giant mushroom-shaped trees.

    The lights weren''t too bright, just enough to illuminate the area. We felt like we had walked into a fairy


    tale.


    I didn''t have to guess-this was all prepared by the duo


    The sound of crickets filled the air. When I looked up, the sky was full of stars.


    At that moment, I truly realized how beautiful and peaceful this world was.


    Here, there was no need to worry about schemes or danger; even the air we breathed was gentle.


    "Carter, look, it''s really fireflies!"


    In the grass, the fireflies flitted around, their tails glowing with a soft green light.


    Even though their light was small, together it illuminated the darkness.


    Carter pointed at a nt not far away and said, "Chloe, over there!"


    "It''s a night-blooming cereus."


    As soon as I finished speaking, the closed flowers burst open, revealing soft, delicate petals.


    "It''s beautiful. They say that seeing a night-blooming cereus is good luck; I should make a wish."


    I sped my hands together, closed my eyes, and made a sincere wish.


    Carter chuckled softly, and in the next moment, he pulled me into his embrace, a gentle smile curling on his lips. "What did you wish for?"


    "I can''t tell you, or it won''te true. Did you make a wish?"


    "I didn''t. My wish has alreadye true."


    His fingers intertwined with mine, his forehead resting against mine, his eyes full of soft affection.


    "Chloe, you being reborn is the greatest wish of my lifee true."
