Chapter 22: A Dress for Maia

Maia

Clyden and I were currently sitting on the patio of the house with some of his relatives. It was lunchtime, and the maids prepared some of Clyden’s favorite food, so he convinced me to join him during this time. At first, I refused since I still felt pretty awkward with his other relatives. But after finding out that Jasmine and Edith weren’t here, I agreed hesitantly.

Although I still feel uncomfortable with some of his relatives, I swallowed my discomfort because Clyden looks so happy eating the food that they have prepared. This is also quite a treat for me since it’s been a while since I’ve eaten these types of food. Lobster, steak, and other expensive food were sprawled out on the table, and I ate them with gusto.

I was just about to finish my last piece of lobster when Jasmine and Edith suddenly went out to the patio. Edith looked around the table with a smile on her face, but it turned into a scowl when her eyes landed on me.
