She deliberately twisted her mouth into a large grin, which was decidedly a rough and hearty smile, nothing that would have anything to do with a lady. If just the right bit of meat showed between her teeth, Ian Rowe would be disgusted to death!
Ian Rowe was bewitched by Maya Monroe’s smile, he couldn’t understand why Maya suddenly smiled at him, and so brightly, like a delicate flower bud slowly blooming.
Maya thought he was already put off by her, so she smiled even more, leaning closer to him.
Ian Rowe coughed twice, and eventually turned his head unnaturally.
Maya raised her elegant eyebrows, full of confidence, she knew no one could escape her "Greasy Principle."
After finishing her situation with Ian Rowe, Maya continued to pick up her chopsticks and eat heartily. She didn’t care about the current atmosphere, even feeling the quietness was better; it didn’t affect her eating anyway.
Tristan Rowe didn’t know when he also started staring at her. He seemed to remember something, and a smile crossed his eyes: "The dishes on the table are almost untouched, let’s eat quickly everyone!"
The question from earlier was ignored by him, and at this moment, nobody brought it up again.
Jessica Young, feeling awkward, smoothed things over: "Yes yes yes, let’s not be idle, see how deliciously Maya’s eating. Everyone eat more too!"
Maya paused her movements momentarily because she felt the tide of gazes surrounding her, but she soon picked up a piece of meat again, ignoring the thoughts of those around, fiercely sticking to her own way.
Yolanda Sawyer sighed inwardly, not expecting Tristan Rowe to be such a nostalgic person. Hearing Jessica Young mention Maya, she glanced in Maya’s direction.
Yolanda Sawyer smiled: "Oh look at how deliciously our Maya is eating, that’s right, eat more, it’s good; Maya is too skinny!"
The people around echoed her sentiments.
Ian Rowe looked at the fatty meat Maya picked for a long time, thought about it, and still gritted his teeth to put it in his mouth.
Maya secretly observed Ian Rowe from the corner of her eye, as she expected, Ian really hated eating fatty meat. His brows were about to wrinkle into a mountain peak, yet his facial control was excellent, and nothing unsettling appeared on his handsome face.
Maya tugged at her mouth, feeling rather dull in her heart.
Maya ate happily, but soon she couldn’t laugh anymore, because she found a leaf of vegetable appeared in her plate, yes, it was greens.
Maya’s expression paused, looking towards Ian Rowe’s direction.
What does this mean? She used fatty meat to get back at Ian Rowe, and Ian Rowe, this guy, used a vegetable leaf to return the favor!
Oh, Ian Rowe, your vengeance is strong!
Maya forced a smile, not forgetting to say: "Thank you, honey, I’m almost moved to tears~"
Ian Rowe nodded, his voice a little soft, a little gentle: "Don’t just eat meat, eat more vegetables."
Maya nodded with tears in her eyes, her lips still trying to pull out an appreciative smile.
Staring at the leaf of vegetable on the plate, Maya was troubled, she thought for a moment, finally picked up a piece of meat, wrapped it loosely in the vegetable leaf, gritting her teeth, swallowed it down.
Originally thinking that would be the end, who knew Ian Rowe again picked up a chopstick full of greens for her, yes, a whole chopstick!
This is revenge, isn’t it? It must be revenge, isn’t it!?
Maya couldn’t smile: "Honey, don’t always pick vegetables for me, holding your arms up often is tiring, if it tires you out, I’ll be heartbroken~"
Ian Rowe was moved deeply again, picked up another chopstick full of greens for her.
Not thinking of any other words, he straightforwardly said: "Eat more, don’t wrap it with meat anymore."
This time Maya had nothing to say, buried her head and ate up the greens.
Fiona Rowe just turned her head for a glance, immediately startled by Maya, speaking without thinking: "Why do you suddenly look so pained, are you feeling unwell?"
Maya raised her head and smiled at her: "I’m fine, I’m great..."
After finishing those few bites of greens, Maya no longer had any appetite or desire, fortunately, the dinner didn’t last long.
Afterwards, the younger ones accompanied Yolanda Sawyer to chat, it seemed Tristan Rowe hadn’t been back for a long time, Yolanda was focused on talking to him, Fiona Rowe and similar younger ones barely had a chance to speak.
Unexpectedly, Tristan Rowe seemed particularly interested in her.
"You’re from the Monroe Family, then your father is?"
Maya hadn’t returned to the Monroe Family yet and could only retrieve the identity information of the original from her mind.
But whether it was the side effect of eating too many vegetables, she felt her brain stuck, she couldn’t think of a single word.
"Uh... my dad..."
She couldn’t think of the name of the original’s father, fortunately, there was Ian Rowe to help her out at that moment.
"Father-in-law’s name is Jasper Monroe, I didn’t know when my uncle became so gossip-minded?"
He laughed coldly, sharp as a knife.
"Jasper Monroe... Jasper Monroe’s daughter..." Tristan Rowe murmured, unfathomable, then looked at Ian Rowe: "I’m just a bit curious as your uncle."
Ian Rowe’s eyes were icy.
Maya could clearly see these two were not getting along.
The most unexpected for her was Yolanda Sawyer’s attitude, she was more biased towards Tristan Rowe, this bias did not seem like indulging love...
Maya stayed in this environment for a little while longer, just when she felt she couldn’t sit still, this New Year’s gathering finally ended.
After returning home, Maya suddenly missed her darling bear, it was New Year’s before she knew it.
Maya tried to negotiate with Ian Rowe: "Honey, do you remember the toy bear moved to the guest room? During this festive New Year time! How about we let it back..." She quickly promised: "Look how big the bed is, it’s more than enough for the three of us, just let it sleep between us, once you get used to it, you’ll find the bear incredibly cute!"
She thought she spoke logically and gently, yet Ian Rowe refused it outright.
"Why?"
"I don’t like it."
That was truly a headstrong answer, leaving Maya no room for rebuttal.
Maya felt upset inside, gloomily walked out, watched the food channel for a while in the living room, while everyone else watched the Spring Festival Gala, she remained loyal to the food channel.
In the end, she couldn’t hold on, it was nearly midnight, Maya still went upstairs back to the bedroom.
The bedroom was only lit by a dim light, Ian Rowe seemed to be asleep already, thinking about it, he disliked her too much to wait for her, right?
Maya slid into the blanket with a chill.
Suddenly a deep voice sounded behind: "Maya, Happy New Year."
Not listening carefully it seemed slightly gentle.
Maya kept the motion of tossing her phone onto the table.
Suddenly the screen lit up, it was midnight.
