Chapter 1032:
A hearty spread, every dish a staple among the locals of Kheley. Yelena hadn’t expected Scarlet’s tastes to be so down-to-earth, even more so than Austin and his family’s.
“Don’t like any of these?” Scarlet asked, tilting her head slightly. “Should I have the chef prepare something else for you p>
Elva, standing off to the side, looked like a storm cloud ready to break. How dared Yelena act so entitled the moment she set foot in this house?
Elva’s lips parted, ready to speak, but before she could, Yelena answered first, “No need, this is already more than enough p>
Truthfully, Yelena wasn’t one to indulge in such rich, high-calorie breakfasts. Her mornings were usually simpler—a few slices of wheat toast with unsweetened cream cheese, a hard-boiled egg, a cup of black coffee, and some nuts or low-calorie fruit.
Donna knew her habits well and always prepared her meals accordingly.
But here, in Scarlet’s home, Yelena saw no need to be picky. It was just one meal.
“What about you?” Yelena asked, turning to Scarlet. “What do you like to eat p>
Scarlet blinked, slightly taken aback. No one in her family had ever bothered to ask her that. They each ate whatever they wanted. And she had long grown used to fending for herself.
But Yelena’s question stirred an old memory. Siena used to ask her the same thing, making sure the chef prepared whatever she liked.
That feeling of being cared for… it was nice.
“I’m not picky,” Scarlet said with a small smile. “I like all of these p>
Yelena scooped some oatmeal into a bowl for Scarlet, then added some scrambled eggs and a few vegetables to her plate.
Elva’s gaze flickered when she saw Yelena place broccoli on Scarlet’s plate. The corner of her lips curled ever so slightly, a glint of amusement in her eyes.
She highly doubted that a mere token effort from Yelena would be enough to win Scarlet over.

Scarlet hated broccoli. Every time Elva had the chef prepare it in different ways, Scarlet barely touched it.
Now, Elva was certain Scarlet would finally reprimand Yelena.
Scarlet glanced down at the broccoli, her brows furrowing slightly. Yelena caught the flicker of hesitation in Scarlet’s expression and asked, “Is there something you don’t like p>
Elva’s smirk deepened. Finally, the moment she had been waiting for!
Scarlet quickly composed herself, lifting her head with a smile. “It’s fine. I like everything p>
As if to prove her words, she picked up a piece of broccoli, placed it in her mouth, and chewed. “It’s good p>
Elva’s jaw nearly hit the floor.
What? Scarlet? Eating broccoli?
This had to be a dream!
Scarlet turned to look at Elva, her voice calm but firm. “Don’t just stand there. Go have your breakfast, too p>
“I need to take care of you,” Elva said, recovering quickly.
Scarlet waved her off. “No need. Yelena is here, and it’s not like I’m incapable of taking care of myself. Go eat p>
With no room for argument, Elva had no choice but to leave. The moment she was gone, Scarlet noticed how much more at ease Yelena seemed.
After breakfast, Scarlet found herself feeling as though she and Yelena had known each other for far longer than just a while.
