Joanna had eaten the paella Madam White made for her and wasn't hungry at all.
But she knew that Ashton hadn't eaten much at the banquet, so he must be hungry.
She nodded and said, "Okay."
They walked downstairs hand in hand.
"Mr. Ashton, Ms. Joanna."
The maid placed the freshly cooked late-night meal on the table.
The meal was simple, just two bowls of savory seafood pierogi. As soon as they entered the dining room, Joanna smelled the aroma of pierogi.
Ashton led her to the table, and they sat down side by side.
Although Joanna wasn't hungry, she couldn't resist eating two or three pieces of the delicious pierogi.
Ashton ate quietly for a while, recalling the events at the banquet and Madam White's reluctance to let them leave...
He swallowed the last piece of pierogi in his mouth and looked at Joanna, "What did you and Madam White talk about when she took you away earlier?"
"Hmm?"
