Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 44

Natalie asked James, who mentioned he liked basa fish, though he could only eat bland food at the moment.

She smiled. “Take this pill, and I’ll go prepare some basa for you. I make a delicious poached basa fillet. With your high cholesterol and blood pressure, you can’t have anything too greasy.”

James was deeply moved. “You kind, wonderful girl! Thank you!”

Natalie turned back to Matthew. “Mr. Monroe, could you have the kitchen prepare a fresh basa fillet? I’ll go cook it right now.”

Matthew looked at her, surprised. “You’re going to cook it yourself, Natalie?”

She nodded. “Yes. I know what Grandpa James likes. The chefs here might make something he won’t eat.” This old man was notoriously picky.

Matthew had heard the rumors. He was impressed by how thoughtful Natalie was, knowing even the smallest details about Mr. James' preferences.

“Alright. I’ll have them prepare everything immediately,” Matthew said, pulling out his phone to call the kitchen.

After a few more words with James, Natalie followed a server to the kitchens.

Joanna stared in disbelief, her eyes nearly popping out of her head. How could Natalie possibly…?

Sebastian was just as stunned. He was suddenly realizing he didn’t know his own wife at all.

Matthew stayed with James, while Sebastian and Joanna sat nearby. Joanna was fidgeting, on pins and needles. She had completely botched things tonight. What do I do? I can’t let Natalie outshine me! she thought frantically, sneaking a glance at Sebastian. He sat composed, his handsome face an unreadable mask, his presence every bit as powerful as Matthew’s across from him. Matthew was the heir to the Monroe family fortune. How did Natalie even get to know him? Joanna was consumed by a helpless, burning jealousy.

After a short while, James was sipping a nourishing broth, his stomach slowly starting to settle.

Half an hour later, Natalie returned carrying a tray.
