Maria, who had just taken a Long nap, was so hungry by the time they returned to Anthony's villa in Broome.

“I have to cook something to eat." She walked toward the kitchen while rolling up her sleeves.

"Do you only sleep and eat all day?" Anthony mumbled, feeling somewhat curious.

When people slept, they didn't use much energy. Maria slept long hours these days, so why did she get hungry easily?

But he had no idea that his words would make Maria believe he was teasing her.

Maria, upon hearing this, walked directly in front of him, knife still in hand.

“What did you say? Do you mind repeating it? I couldn't hear you properly."

Paralyzed, Anthony was at a loss for words.

“What I meant is that... Since we have a maid at home, you don't have to work so hard and cook yourself."

The maid Janet was actually Jack's elder sister.

Janet stood aside and expressionlessly observed Maria, holding a knife in her hand, before turning her gaze to Anthony.

Suddenly, she was overcome with pity for her brother

“Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude and do your job.”

It was then that Maria remembered Janet's existence. She apologized to her and handed her the knife.

“Well... That's all right," Janet said.

"I would Like some broccoli, cucumber salad, and a steak. No carbs." Maria glared at Anthony after she placed her order

“I am on a diet."

Anthony looked at her from head to toe and couldn’t understand why she would want to be on a diet when she already had the perfect body shape! Was what he had said earlier still troubling her?

Janet had gone to the kitchen to prepare dinner, leaving them alone in the living room.

Anthony patted the sofa and gestured for Maria to sit beside him.
