Chapter 4

Alexander didn't return home for several days.

Natalie waited until 8 PM.

Looking at the table full of his favorite dishes, I licked my lips.

To say Alexander and I had nothing in common wasn't entirely accurate.

When it came to food, our tastes were surprisingly similar.

Natalie ate some vegetables and a piece of meat before putting down her chopsticks.

She had always been very strict about managing her figure. Her total daily food intake was barely equivalent to one of my meals.

Not only did she have specific requirements for cooking methods, she also strictly controlled her last meal of the day to be before 6 PM.

My grandmother used to say being able to eat was a blessing, so I never deprived myself.

Mrs. Zhang's mouth-watering chicken was first-class! Just looking at it made my mouth water. I had to say Natalie was missing out.

Alexander also stopped eating and looked at Natalie.

"The food doesn't suit your taste?"

Natalie smiled serenely. "I haven't had much of an appetite lately."

Alexander stared at her for a good while before saying, "The butler said your appetite was even better than usual while I was abroad. How come you suddenly can't eat now that I'm back?"

Natalie looked at Alexander's expressionless face and shook her head repeatedly. "My appetite hasn't been good these past few days. I might have caught a summer cold."

Alexander lowered his gaze. After a moment, he said, "First dizziness, now loss of appetite. I'll take you for a check-up tomorrow."

Natalie instinctively wanted to refuse, but ended up smiling and agreeing.

I knew she thought as long as they didn't go to the plastic surgery department for an examination, she had nothing to fear.

After all, only the three of them knew about my disappearance.
