39 Chapter 35 ~ Stitching Back the Past 2/3 (1/2)

After hours of punishment, Siola is finally ready to face the time of her life, and that is… dinner with the family.

It has been a while since she uses an outfit so elegant as it is now. It's a one-piece that fully covered her body all the way to the bottom, a frilly one at that. Combined with sparkling white heels and warmly white gloves, it's like she has become a model for a noble priestess.

She's on her way to the dining hall with Sadrin following behind her. Sighing as she thought, 'Haa… why everyone treats me like a kid. Like, I get it that I'm childish sometimes, but they could've used a different way to, I mean SHE could've used another way to punish me instead of spanking me like a kid! I'm already 25 goddamn it, I know I'm still 21 now, but fucking still!! I should've accepted Mona's request.'

'Being adopted by her might've been a better option than this, and I can play the game all I want by now.'

Sadrin noticed her discomfort, she thought that it might be caused by the upcoming event. It has been a while since Siola dines with the family after all, and it was even before her transport to Desolated Sector.

They arrived at the Dining Hall, the grandfather along with her two parents is there waiting for her. Siola approach them and bowed.

The atmosphere around is awkward indeed, however, Siola swallowed it all and just sit at her seat beside her mother with her grandfather sitting on the right side of the table.

What was expected is an elegant yet extravagant dining dish. However, what came out of the door, what the maids brought, are indeed extravagant, but it does not capture the image of what the noble usually eat.

Couple stack of deep-fried chickens, French fries, almost all kinds of very much unhealthy food being served to the noble's dining table.

'This…' Siola thought, 'Doesn't take a genius to understand what is going on.”

All the food that's being served is all Siola's favorite. From all the folks inside, there is no one that would eat such unhealthy food, her grandfather would even say that it's disgusting.

She glanced at Yuri, her mother, 'She must be the one that requested this. Reaching out to what's left in our relationship. Mother, you're so naïve. No way in hell, grandpa would eat something like this. Let alone touching it, he might throw it in the trashcan before even smelling it.'

Knowing that she's being glared at, Yuri quickly glanced down with a shattered heart. She expected that it would lessen the tension by using the food that Siola likes, but instead, it did the opposite.

No one in the room touched a piece of the meal being served, and no one is saying anything.

However, the unimaginable happens.

Hajaran, Siola's grandfather, put his fork and knife aside.

'See. Mother, you're really going to piss off someone today. Heh, serves you right.'

*Chomp*

'Huh?' she couldn't believe it.

Crunching noises can easily be heard from him, this leads Siola to drool her mouth out. She bit her lips hard, trying to suppress it.

Munching the thick and soft meat from it, he took a potato chip and eat it.

Yuri glanced at Siola who is in dazed and confused, she's staring at her grandfather joyfully eating the fried chicken while swallowing her saliva.

Her confusion starts to increase when her father makes his move and eat the chickens in the same way. 'What the hell is going on here. Is this a part of her plan. Did she asked grandpa and father to eat those just so she—'

Her assumption was stopped when his grandfather swallowed a long gulp of his milkshake. ”Pwah, that was— hm? Why are you not eating, Siola? Where are your manners!”

Shuddered by the sudden shout, ”Ahwa, t-t-this, err….” Siola quickly grabbed a plate, but it was snatched by Sadrin. She then quickly grabbed the food for her. Also, Sadrin has prepared the fork that Rakuri gave her.

”Here it is, young miss.”

”Mm.” Siola nodded.

Holding the chicken up, 'I can't believe this.'

Nervously moving it closer to her mouth, her lips trembled as she put it right an inch away from that crunchy texture. Her eyes quickly widened as the scent of the chicken spice went to her lungs. She opened her mouth wide and take a big bite of that chunk of chicken meat.

*Crunch *Crunch

'HHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! W-W-What is this!! This, this is, FUCKING DELICIOUS!'

A smile was formed in Yuri's face knowing that her daughter enjoyed the food she wholeheartedly made.

Over the past years, Siola has never tasted her cooking due to the drama that was going on between them. Yuri has polished her skills in many ways to improve her relationship with her daughter, which includes her cooking skills.
