The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 65: The Girl with a Hearty Appetite

The little girl’s candy, it sure tastes sweet, but it seems a bit sour too, just look at Leo with that lemon-like expression.

Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw could almost taste the sourness.

"Here, brother, for you."

Holly Sawyer rummaged in her pocket and pulled out a handful of candy, placing it in front of Leo Grant. She blinked her eyes.

Seeing the little girl place a handful of candy in front of him, Leo Grant’s mood instantly brightened.

Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw only got one piece each, while he got a lot. In the little girl’s mind, he must be special, right?

"Holly, keep it for yourself."

Leo Grant slightly curled his lips, his face filled with a joyful expression, feeling really good.

Whether he ate the candy or not didn’t matter much; he just wanted the little girl to personally hand it to him. That would truly give a sense of satisfaction.

There’s a saying that goes, what I care about has never been material things; I only care about your intention. The price doesn’t matter; all I want is what you’ve carefully chosen for me.

"Holly still has plenty," Holly Sawyer shook her head, "You should know how to share the things you like."

The smile on Leo Grant’s lips was particularly gentle because of Holly Sawyer, wanting to keep the little girl by his side forever.

He couldn’t figure out if Holly Sawyer would leave.

Nathaniel Shaw and Noah Raines looked at Leo Grant, feeling deeply touched. Indeed, he’s fallen for her, and quite deeply too.

——

In the hotpot restaurant, Holly Sawyer held the menu and began ordering dishes, her little mouth running non-stop, almost ordering everything on the menu.

Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw exchanged glances.

"Brother Noah, brother Nathaniel, do you want to order anything else?"

Holly Sawyer put down the menu and looked at Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw, asking with childlike innocence in her voice.

Noah Raines: "..."

Nathaniel Shaw: "..."

The menu was almost entirely ordered through; did they even need to order anything else?

Probably not, right?

"Ah, you’re not ordering anything more?"

Holly Sawyer tilted her head, blinking slowly, speaking with a tone of surprise.

"No, no, this is enough,"

Noah Raines waved his hand, saying, spending money this way isn’t wise; it’s not good to waste food one can’t finish eating.

"Yeah, no need to order more."

Nathaniel Shaw also shook his head.

"Oh, but I only ordered for myself and my brother."

Holly Sawyer blinked, speaking with an air of matter-of-factness, without feeling there was anything wrong with what she said.

But I only ordered for myself and my brother.

Only ordered for myself and my brother.

For myself and my brother...

This sentence seemed to have a magical quality, echoing perpetually in the minds of Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw.

They had known Leo Grant for so long, yet they never realized how much Leo could eat, indicating that the one with a big appetite was... Holly Sawyer. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Both Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw exchanged looks, their gaze fixed on Holly Sawyer, faces full of disbelief.

The little girl looked so petite; did she really have such a large capacity in her stomach?

They were truly naive.

"We eat less, we’ll just nibble a bit; no need to order more."

Noah Raines swallowed hard, displayed a bit of a shocked expression, and waved his hand while speaking.

So much food, it looked a bit overwhelming, and he didn’t dare to order any more.

"Oh, that’s fine then."

Holly Sawyer nodded.

The dishes arrived quickly, with the server bringing them one by one, filling the table to the brim.

Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw looked at the array of dishes in front of them, unsure of their own feelings, just really complex, perhaps.

This amount of food would be enough for at least eight or nine grown men; this little girl truly is...

"Do you guys eat spicy?"

Holly Sawyer tilted her head and asked, thinking of going to mix the dipping sauces.

Noah Raines: "I’m fine with it."

Nathaniel Shaw: "I can’t handle too spicy."

Holly Sawyer nodded, then went to mix the sauces.

Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw watched Holly Sawyer walk away, and both fixated their gaze on Leo Grant.

"Leo, your little girl’s appetite is quite large, huh."

Noah Raines remarked, laden with meaning.

They’d never seen such a big appetite in a girl; Holly Sawyer was really the first, pretty much astonishing him.

Leo Grant curled his lips: "Being able to eat is a blessing."

The little girl’s appetite was indeed huge; he had initially been a bit shocked too, but now he has gotten used to it.

"Doesn’t she ever feel too full?"

Nathaniel Shaw commented, still feeling rather amazed by it all.

Leo Grant: "She probably doesn’t."

Maybe the little girl just had a good digestive system. She got hungry really fast but never mentioned being too full after eating a lot.

"Here, brother, this is yours."

Holly Sawyer came back with two bowls of mixed dipping sauce, placing one in front of Leo Grant and one for herself.

"Thank you, Holly."

Leo Grant showed a smile on his face.

"Brother Noah, brother Nathaniel, this is yours."

Holly Sawyer went back to get the other two bowls and placed them in front of Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw.

Noah Raines took a sniff; it smelled quite fragrant, and it seemed pretty good.

The meat in the pot cooked quickly, and Holly Sawyer stopped speaking, intently focused on her food, entirely immersed in eating.

Noah Raines, Nathaniel Shaw, and Leo Grant ate while chatting.

"I’ll head to the bathroom."

Holly Sawyer suddenly put down her chopsticks, told Leo Grant, and turned to go to the restroom.

The phone in her pocket kept vibrating; Holly Sawyer turned a corner, entered the restroom, took out her phone, and pressed the decline button.

"Boss."

A long-haired woman with a black mask came out from one of the restroom stalls, addressing Holly Sawyer politely.

"Hmm, did you bring the stuff?"

Holly Sawyer spoke indifferently, putting the phone back into her pocket.

"Yes."

The woman nodded, took a small box out of her jacket pocket, and handed it to Holly.

"Hmm."

Holly received it and put the box into her pocket.

"Boss, are you planning any actions recently?"

The woman couldn’t help but ask, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Holly: "No."

"Then why do you need botulinum toxin?"

The woman expressed her confusion.

Botulinum toxin is a deadly toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, the most toxic naturally occurring substance. It takes only a tiny amount to be lethal, although it’s very rare, and the extraction process is quite difficult.

The decision to eat hotpot was spontaneous, but the intent to obtain botulinum toxin was long planned.

She had arranged for the people at The Pantheon Laboratory in Arkenfall to send it over, and once the location was set, she’d receive a call.

"I’m not planning to harm anyone, just keeping it for future use."

Holly slightly curled her lips, the smile on her face less genuine.

Although botulinum toxin is lethal, it has other purposes; it doesn’t necessarily have to cost a life.
