Chapter 268 The Forgotten Task

• Samantha and Finley exchanged a frosty glance at Emily before turning their eyes away, only resuming their gaze once Emily had retreated into the kitchen. Samantha broke the silence, her voice laced with concern. "Elias and Emily are preparing a meal here. How about we head to our room and have our meal there?"
• Finley's brow furrowed. "This is my home. There's no need for us to retreat to our room just to avoid Emily."
• "I understand," Samantha said, her tone softening. "We don't need to avoid her. It's just that I'm worried you might feel uncomfortable eating with her around."
