Chapter 87 - Cook Takes Charge

Cook's stern words carried weight, though her disapproving gaze landed squarely on Cullen.

Cullen maintained his composure, unflinching under his grandmother's scrutiny. Without acknowledging her reproach, he reached for the serving spoon and transferred a generous portion of food onto Veronica's plate.

"Thank you," Veronica murmured softly.

Cook proceeded to explain that she had brought an entire collection of health supplements specifically for them. Her plans extended beyond dinner - she intended to personally supervise the preparation of several nourishing broths that would benefit both Veronica and Cullen's well-being.

Veronica found herself unable to decline such thoughtful attention and could only accept graciously with a nod.

Cook had lived in Winslet during her youth, where she had perfected the delicate technique of creating rich, nutrient-dense broths that simmered for hours.
