Chapter 76
“It’s better for you two to eat face to face. “Tomas thought.
Whoosh!
When the last mouthful of noodles entered her stomach, Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. Her stomach finally felt a little warm.
“Grandpa, are you sure you don’t want to eat it now?” Elizabeth took another bite of the freshly roasted chicken.
“Eat it. You are starving today.” Tomas looked at her with a smile.
Elizabeth nodded, and the two drumsticks in front of her quickly entered her stomach. She even gulped down a large cup of milk tea. She did not look like a girl at all.
In the past, she was not like this in the Yorks. As long as she wanted to eat, she would always be the last one to sit at the table. Or she would be led by Old Mr. York to sit at the table and eat the rice in her bowl, not daring to pick up any food.
Elizabeth was enjoying her meal. When she looked up, she saw that someone was looking at her intently.
She turned her face away awkwardly as if she had seen a ghost.
“I’m not wasting food. Why do you watch me like this?” She thought.
However, she seemed not full. She wondered if she should eat Samuel’s shar as well.
“Well, if you don’t want to eat, I’ll help you!” After that, she was about to unwrap the box.
The food that Leo prepared for Samuel must be more delicious than hers!
Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by a strong force, and she saw Samuel’s gloomy face.
She thought, “Stingy, isn’t it just a little bit of food?”
“Elizabeth, I didn’t know that you had such a big appetite that you even dared to touch my things!”
The woman ate happily. After that morning, Samuel’s appetite dropped sharply, and he hadn’t had a good meal for several days.
Did she want to disgust him again?
A cunning look flashed across Elizabeth’s eyes. She shook off Samuel’s hand and slammed the phone on the table. “Tell me, what
should we do?”
“I said I’ll compensate!”
“How will you compensate me?”
“What compensation do you want?”
“A meal!”
Samuel was speechless.
Benson, who was drinking and bragging, said, “Oh, why can’t I get in touch with Mom all of a sudden? Doesn’t she want me, such a handsome guy, anymore?”
Old Mr. York couldn’t bear to look at her and covered his eyes. “Liz, why are you so useless? You have to make Samuel marry you.

“Alas, this child.
“She must have not had a good meal abroad in the past four years, which led to malnutrition. Look at how thin she was.”
Samuel sneered. “No!”
“This is too much!” Elizabeth gritted her teeth.
“Then what are you going to pay for it? Can you afford it? This phone is mine… Ahem, it was given to me on my birthday last year. Do you know how much I care about it? Do you know how precious it is?” After shouting fiercely, Elizabeth suddenly felt that she had set a trap for herself.
Old Mr. York looked helpless.
Was this phone a gift from that brat from the Frank family? Their Samuel had missed out on too much.
The corner of Samuel’s mouth twitched. Since she valued it so much, how could she forgive him after just one meal?
It turned out that the person who sent the phone was only worth one meal in her heart!
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.
Old Mr. York pretended to be uncomfortable and coughed twice. “Well, hurry up and go back. Samuel, let your father take care of me. I have something to tell him.”
“Grandpa, I’d better stay here with you.”
Elizabeth understood Old Mr. York’s thoughts too well. He probably wanted her and Samuel to return to Beverly Hills. She really didn’t want to be with this iceberg. It was not interesting at all.
Samuel saw through her thoughts and said disdainfully, “Do you think I’m willing to stay with you? Grandpa, I’m leaving.”
Samuel’s early departure was exactly what Elizabeth wanted.
Elizabeth had to find an excuse to slip away as soon as James came in. She had to find Ben. Since she couldn’t get in touch with him on the phone, he must be very anxious.
As soon as she entered the elevator, she was surprised to meet Julian.
Julian was equally surprised to see her enter the elevator. Her gaze swept across her face, which had returned to normal, and the corners of her mouth were turned up slightly.
Elizabeth thought it was obvious what was on her mind from her expression.
“Does your face still hurt?” There were no outsiders in the elevator, so there was no need to pretend anymore.
“Mrs. York, do you really care about me?”
“What are you talking about?” Julian approached her with a sarcastic smile. “We’re a family. At least you’ve been a daughter-in–law for a few years. I treat you as my daughter–in–law.”
Elizabeth didn’t have time to beat around the bush with her and quickly grabbed her arm. Julian’s expression changed and she felt a
little scared.
Such a small movement made her unable to move, and she was completely in a passive state.
