Chapter 111
Soon, it was time for lunch. Other than those who went to work, everyone else came downstairs.
Even Jasmine, who had been angry all morning, came down to have lunch with others with a sullen expression. It seemed like she was hungry.
Roger and Sophie sat on Norman’s right–hand side. Jasmine and Rebecca sat on his left side. Emily sat beside Rebecca. Opposite her was Evelyn, who was next to Sophie. Normally, Ronald would definitely sit beside her.
But today, he had to sit beside Evelyn, as if he wanted to get close to her.
Rebecca’s expression did not look too good when she saw this, but Norman was here, and she could not directly drag Ronald over by her side.
Norman chose to ignore these eyesores. He only had Sophie and Roger in his eyes.
“Sophie, are these dishes to your liking?” Norman was afraid that Jasmine and Rebecca would not treat Sophie well, so he quickly asked.
Sophie smiled and said, “Yes, they’re delicious. I did not expect Rebecca to know my appetite.”
Rebecca had always been cautious. She would not let others get the good on her, so all the dishes were indeed Sophie’s. favorite food.
When Rebecca received Sophie’s affirmation, she immediately smiled, “It’s good that you like the dishes. I also asked the servants to prepare a lot of Roger’s favorite dishes.”
Sophie nodded and said, “Oh, thank you, Rebecca. I think you’re the only one in this family who knows what Roger likes to eat. It’s just that every time we eat at home, we rarely see what Roger likes to eat.”
When she heard Sophie’s words, Rebecca’s face stiffened slightly.
Rebecca thought that Sophie was praising her, but she did not expect Sophie to be settling old scores.
Rebecca could only explain, “Roger did not talk much in the past, so I don’t know what he likes to eat. It’s only because you’ve been taking care of him these days that I know what he likes to eat.”
Sophie nodded. “That’s true. It’s Roger’s fault. He’s too boring.”
Rebecca’s face froze again.
Every time she explained, Sophie would retort. Rebecca did not know how to end it.
At this moment, Norman chimed in, “It’s not his fault. We were negligent towards Roger. Fortunately, we have you. Otherwise, I’m afraid Roger will suffer for a long time.”
Roger had always been a strong person. How could he take the initiative to ask others for something?

Therefore, he gradually forgot what he liked to eat. He did hot even notice that the chef no longer cooked the food he liked most
When Sophie saw that Norman felt distressed for Roger, she comforted him in a low voice, “Grandpa, it’s not your fault.”
After all, Jasmine and Rebecca were in charge of these trivial matters.
Previously, they had probably been making their favorite food. Roger’s and Daisy’s needs would definitely be ignored.
Roger could not help but feel warm in his heart as he watched Sophie seek revenge for him,
He smiled and said, “It’s fine now. It’s good that you know what I like to eat.”
Hearing this, Sophie smiled brightly and nodded. “Then I will get a shrimp for you.”
When she finished speaking, Sophie began to put some food on Roger’s plate.
Seeing that the two of them had started eating, others also picked up their knives and forks and started to eat.
Ronald saw the reserved look on Evelyn’s face and quickly tried to curry favor with her. “Evelyn, what do you like to eat? I’ll get it for you.”
Evelyn nodded shyly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Ronald. I like to eat shrimp, too.”
“Alright, I’ll help you peel the shrimp.” As he spoke, Ronald actually stood up and picked up some shrimp to put on his plate. Then he sat down and started peeling shrimp for Evelyn.
This action made everyone frown.
Rebecca could not take it anymore. Her precious son was actually peeling shrimp for a humble woman.
At the thought of this, she suppressed her anger and said with a smile, “Ronald, Miss Dawson has hands, Do you need to fawn over her? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll despise you? Just let her peel the shrimp by herself.”
Ronald only reacted after being scolded.
That made sense. He did not know if Evelyn would despise him, so he could not help but look at her.
However, he met Evelyn’s affectionate eyes. “Why would I despise Ronald? I can’t thank him enough. Although I like to eat shrimp, I don’t dare to peel them myself. In the Dawson family, the servants peeled the shrimp for me.”
However, she did not have such treatment now. It had been a long time since she had eaten shrimp.
She just treated Ronald as a servant.
Rebecca’s expression suddenly turned even uglier. “Did you hear that, Ronald? It was the servant who peeled shrimp for her. You’re one of the heirs of the Nicholls family, not her servant. Put the shrimp down and let the servants peel it.”
“She wants my son to peel shrimp for her? Dream on!‘ Rebecca thought angrily.

Ronald did not understand it that way. How much trust did Evelyn have in him that she did not mind him peeling the shrimp for her? “No. I want to peel shrimp for her!”
This was a scene that he had imagined countless times in the past! How could he give up?
As he spoke, he quickly began to peel the prawns for Evelyn.
When Norman saw Ronald’s humble behavior, he could not help but get angry. “What are you doing? You’re not related to Miss Dawson, Why are you peeling shrimp for her? Willard, take the shrimp away!”
Unexpectedly, Norman could not stand it anymore. Ronald could only watch as Willard took the shrimp away and let the servants peel them.
Initially–Evelyn thought that she could control Ronald. She did not expect Rebecca and even Norman to oppose her!
At this moment, she was filled with unwillingness.
Suddenly, she had an idea. She immediately looked at Ronald with tears in her eyes and said, “I’m sorry, Ronald. I don’t understand the rules of the Nicholls family. Did I cause you trouble?”
After saying that, she looked at Norman and Rebecca, saying, “I’m sorry, Norman and Rebecca. If you are angry, just scold me. Don’t blame Ronald. I was too arrogant. When I was in the Dawson family in the past, my parents and brothers doted on me very much, so they spoiled me. I have been changing recently, but there are still some things that I did wrong. Please forgive me if I offend you.”
This move to feign pity by retreating was used to great effect by Evelyn.
As expected, even though Norman and Rebecca did not like her, they did not make things difficult for her at this moment. “It’s not that serious. There are rules in the Nicholls family. No one is allowed to talk when eating. Everyone, let’s eat.”
Not wanting other things to affect their meal, Norman directly ordered that no one was allowed to speak.
“I understand” Evelyn could only nod.
However, she hated Norman to the core.
She wanted to get closer to Ronald while they were eating, but she did not expect Norman to stop them from talking. It was
too much
However, she was not in her own family. Evelyn could only resign herself to her fate and dat with her head down.
Not long after, Sophie asked Roger, “This is chicken wing. It tastes good. Do you want to try it?”
“Alright.” Roger nodded.
The two of them spoke openly
Evelyn immediately looked up and waited for Norman to scold them.
Unexpectedly, not only did Norman not blame Sophie and Roger, but he also looked at them happily.
