Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Is She Really That Scary?

She quickly grabbed Mary’s hand and stuffed the medicine bottle into it, ”Apply this on the madam’s face, just a thin layer will do, thank you!” After giving the instructions, she ran towards the kitchen!

”...Mary.”

Kristina Kingston watched the figure disappear at the doorway, a silence settled in the living room.

Mary turned around and squatted in front of Kristina Kingston, ”Madam, shall I apply it for you?”

She didn’t speak, so Mary took it as consent.

”Madam, even if you’re mad at her, you shouldn’t torture yourself.” She opened the bottle cap.

In the kitchen, Mia Lane cooked the rice as fast as possible and then started preparing the dishes.

Being a single mother for six years, this bit of kitchen work was no big deal for her!

Kristina Kingston had been fussing all morning without drinking the porridge; she must be hungry.

So for lunch, there’s no fear she won’t eat! Just go ahead and make it.

In the luxuriously decorated living room, Mary finished applying the medicine and gently put on half the mask.

”Madam, how do you feel?” Mary asked, ”Is there a cooling sensation?”

”Mm.” She frowned.

”Madam, I saw her in the lab at eleven last night, she didn’t even have dinner,” Mary said with concern, ”And after the morning fuss, she didn’t have breakfast either.”

Kristina Kingston’s face darkened slightly at these words, ”You’re too young, you can’t judge people accurately.”

”...But madam,” Mary’s voice was soft, ”if she’s a fraud, how could she stay in the lab so long? She’s definitely more professional than Dr. Shelby, the email is proof.”

”I didn’t say she’s a fraud.” Kristina Kingston thought carefully, ”A woman like her, who hides her true self, bringing two kids close to my son, has impure motives. I suspect she planned this conspiracy seven years ago.”

Mary’s pupils narrowed, ”...” Not daring to say another word, could madam be this scary?

11:55.

Mia Lane appeared in the living room wearing a floral apron, ”Madam, lunch is ready, please enjoy.”

Kristina Kingston deliberately glanced at the clock on the wall, internally surprised, so fast?

Mary accompanied her, helping her up as they walked to the dining room.

Her expression remained indifferent and distant, carrying an air of authority and aloofness.

Mia Lane didn’t worry, she remained calm.

What was this minor obstruction compared to the hardships she’d endured raising her kids alone for six years?

Just as she suspected, Kristina Kingston was really hungry, as she sat in the dining chair without any intention of overturning plates.

She examined the dishes on the table one by one, and Mia Lane observed her expression to gauge her thoughts.

This lunch didn’t use high-end ingredients, it was all Mia Lane’s specialty home-cooked dishes but was full of color, aroma, and flavor.

There were sweet and sour ribs, toothpick meat, braised fish, minced meat tofu, stir-fried lettuce with oil, shiitake mushrooms with greens...

Kristina Kingston was inwardly shocked, to make such a table of dishes in a short time, one must have skills, once again she was impressed by Mia Lane but wouldn’t show it.

The dishes made even Mary hungry.

Mia Lane saw that Kristina Kingston didn’t intend to overturn the plates, so she went to serve two bowls of rice; Mary, being a personal maid, usually ate with her.

One bowl was placed in front of Kristina Kingston, the other in front of Mary.

”Sit.” Kristina Kingston said coldly, ”Eat together.”

Mia Lane was momentarily in a daze, ”Yes, madam.” Now she was the only one standing.

She also served herself a bowl of rice and sat down beside her.

No matter how cold the atmosphere in the dining room was, Mia Lane was not intimidated.

She quietly ate a small bowl of rice, tasted all the dishes, and found them quite good.

This was Kristina Kingston’s first time eating home-cooked food, she also thought it was delicious, with a special taste, but she couldn’t describe it. Her expression remained cold.

Mary didn’t dare to praise the food, only proving its goodness by her actions, she ate three bowls.

In front of the madam, she didn’t even dare to call her ma’am.

After finishing her meal, Kristina Kingston put down her chopsticks, took the towel from Mary, and wiped her lips.

She maintained a stern expression and said, ”Mia Lane, I can never like you, even if you heal me.”

Heh, Mia Lane never expected her to.

”From the day I decided to sponsor Monica Usher’s studies, I have been cultivating her to be my daughter-in-law, and she has not disappointed me, she has supported half of the company.” Kristina Kingston’s voice was emotionless, emphasizing again, ”Only she is the best choice for the Kingston family daughter-in-law.”
