Chapter 1100

“Mr. Hunt, here are your dumplings. Have some while they’re still warm!” The nurse then placed thebowl down on the table.

“Thanks.” Stefan nodded, feeling as if he was about to drool at any moment. Habits were indeed quitean odd tendency, as the man soon got used to eating them, despite only having them for four days.

Sensing a threat, Seraphina shot the nurse a dirty glare. She asked coldly, “Where did these dumplingscome from? Isn’t it Aeos cuisine? Can I have some too?”

“Uhm… No!” The nurse refused without any hesitation. After all, Joan had specially bought thesedumplings for Stefan. She couldn’t possibly make another bowl.novelbin

“Why not? Could it be that you’ve been personally making these for my fiance? Aren’t you being a littletoo considerate then?”

“No… I…” The nurse felt awkward and failed to explain herself.

Stefan quickly came to the nurse’s defense. “You’re still recovering, and seafood is prohibited.”

“Yes, yes! Eating seafood may affect wound recovery, which might leave scars on your skin.” The nurselet out a sigh of relief, amazed by Stefan’s quick thinking.

“Sure, I won’t eat it, but can you tell me where these dumplings came from?” Seraphina insisted,adamant about getting to the bottom of this.

Nowadays, any woman in Stefan’s life could potentially pose a threat to their relationship, so she had tobe careful to not let them get their way with him.

“Our food court provides these for our Aeos patients.” The nurse said stiffly, not accustomed to lying.

“Really?”

“Y… Yeah!”

“Then I’d like a portion of these seafood dumplings now. I can at least smell it if I can’t eat it, right?”

“Ah, well… uhm…”

Seeing how Seraphina was clearly giving the nurse a hard time, Stefan spoke up with his deep voice.“Alright, alright, stop messing with the girl. She’s been putting a lot of effort into caring for you too.”

He then turned to the nurse and said, “You are dismissed. I can handle her.”

After the nurse left, Seraphina was so furious that she turned her head away from him.

“What’s wrong?” Stefan comforted her patiently. “You’re not mad at me over some dumplings, are you?I can always stop if you don’t like me eating them.”

“Not that! I just think… that nurse is trying to seduce you!” Seraphina pouted and huffed.

Stefan found this rather ridiculous. “How is she trying to seduce me?”

“These dumplings smell traditional, so there’s no way it came from a hospital food court, let alone onein a foreign country! There are barely any Aeos people here; how could they possibly make somethinglike this for you?”

“So?”

“So it’s very possible that she’s trying to seduce you and made this for you personally. As many peoplehave said, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach! Just look at how much you’re enjoyingthem!”

“Haha, Seraphina, you’re overthinking. They’re just dumplings. How could they possibly replace you?”

Despite comforting her, Stefan couldn’t help but think. ‘Are these dumplings really from unknownsources?’
