Cecilia.
Primrose looked at Dolores on her left, then at Cecilia on her right, and felt like crying but had no tears.
Meanwhile, Yuna, standing not far behind Primrose, was carrying the empty plate Clotilde had just finished eating from, ready to clear it away.
But upon hearing Cecilia’s words, her hand suddenly trembled.
Crash!
The crisp sound of shattering echoed through the private room, startling everyone.
The porcelain plate fell straight to the floor, shattering into pieces.
Yuna, who was always extremely steady and never made mistakes…
Primrose looked at Yuna.
Yuna kept her head down, her expression unreadable.
She crouched down and silently began picking up the broken plate fragments.
Primrose watched Yuna’s back.
She knew Yuna absolutely hadn’t knocked it over by accident.
Yuna must have been unable to bear this absurd scene any longer.
She had noticed earlier that Yuna liked Cecilia, which made her the third party by extension.
But she had never wanted to be the third party.
Right now, she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
However, faced with the unblinking stares of Dolores and Cecilia, if she didn’t feed them, it would only make her look guilty.
After all, a goddess being asked to be fed by girls wasn’t really a big deal in itself.
It was just that from the perspective of someone who used to be a man, it was pure torment.
Primrose sighed inwardly and resignedly nodded.
Fine, she’d feed them. She’d feed them, okay.
Primrose put down the mushroom soup in her hand, first took Dolores’s bowl, scooped a spoonful, and handed it over.
Dolores slightly parted her cherry-like lips, took the soup, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
Primrose then took Cecilia’s bowl, scooped a spoonful, and handed it over.
Cecilia hastily ate it as well, chewing with such force that the spoon was a bit hard to pull out of her mouth, wobbling twice.
The moment it came out, due to the recoil, the golden-haired girl in front of Cecilia swayed along with it.
Primrose took a bite from the left, a bite from the right, all while tending to the golden-haired girl on her lap.
She felt like she was now a heartless feeding machine.
Lin Naiyue sat nearby, watching all of this happily, like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law taking care of her child.
But…
Her gaze kept wandering between the faces of Primrose and Cecilia, as well as the back of Yuna, who was cleaning up the broken pieces.
Lin Naiyue was a very perceptive woman.
Although she could be a bit spacey at times, when it came to matters of the heart, her instincts were quite sharp.
She saw how Cecilia was desperately vying for favor.
Then she looked at Yuna’s unusual behavior.
Lin Naiyue sighed quietly to herself.
She had actually long noticed the delicate relationships between her daughter and these two girls.
Cecilia liked her daughter.
And Yuna, that normally proper maid, her earlier dropping of the plate was clearly jealousy.
Her daughter Prim was now caught in a complicated romantic entanglement.
This was a textbook love triangle!
No, counting Dolores, it was already a love quadrangle.
It was just that Dolores and Cecilia were playing their cards openly, making their situation easier to handle.
The scariest one was someone like Yuna, who kept everything bottled up.
Lin Naiyue worried the girl might suffocate herself, and when she finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, she might do something outrageous.
Lin Naiyue watched Primrose’s helpless, flustered expression as she fed everyone.
Based on her understanding of her daughter, even if Primrose saw through all these tangled relationships, she probably wouldn’t think to resolve them, or simply wouldn’t know how to handle feelings between girls.
As a mother, Lin Naiyue felt it was her responsibility to help her daughter solve this problem.
But matters of the heart couldn’t be rushed.
If she forced her way in, it might backfire and hurt these girls’ feelings.
That was also why, when Yuna voluntarily left the room last night, she hadn’t forcibly stopped her.
She knew Yuna had reservations, even feelings of inferiority, and needed time to adjust.
Lin Naiyue pondered inwardly.
How could she best resolve this complicated situation?
Maybe she should find a time to call them out individually for a chat?
But back when she was dating, she had been just as clueless herself. She had no experience to pass on.
Wait… dating?
Strange, who had she dated, and then married, to give birth to Prim?
Lin Naiyue suddenly froze.
“Alright, all done eating.”
Beside her, Primrose put down the bowl, as if a weight had been lifted.
Finally over.
“Mommy, Mommy, let me feed you too.”
With that, the golden-haired girl picked up Primrose’s portion of mushroom soup from the table.
Huh?
Having sat untouched for so long, the surface had turned a bit thick.
Seeing this, Primrose felt a thousand unwillingness in her heart.
“Prim, look how much she depends on you. Just let her feed you.”
Lin Naiyue snapped back to reality and decided not to think about that question for now.
Feeding others was one thing, but being fed by someone else?
That was too embarrassing.
Primrose saw her mother flash a cute, healing smile, and her mood lifted slightly.
Besides, her mother had spoken. She didn’t dare refuse.
“Fine then.”
Dolores puffed out her little cheeks slightly, thinking to herself that this Holy Sword was quick on the uptake, every move calculated right after her own thoughts.
Most importantly, the other girl seemed quite familiar with the Goddess, like an old friend who had been by her side for years.
Cecilia’s heart also skipped a beat, and she instinctively looked at Dolores.
She found the other girl looking at her too.
Seeing each other’s jealous expressions, they were startled, but soon, both of them smiled knowingly in unison.
The smile was superficially a cover for each seeing through the other’s embarrassment, but also a friendship smile of finding a shared jealousy front.
But deep in their hearts…
Cecilia kept smiling, in a daze, all a blur.
So Dolores had her moments of jealousy too?
Dolores was smiling as well.
An opponent she herself couldn’t match, let alone a dullard like Cecilia.
The next second, both of them stood up at the same time.
“I want to feed the Goddess soup too!”
“I want to feed the Goddess soup too!”
Dolores raised her hand high, Cecilia braced herself on the table with both hands, and the two spoke in unison.
After Primrose was fed the mushroom soup by the three of them.
“Grandma, I’m full.”
The golden-haired girl jumped off Primrose’s lap and ran over to Lin Naiyue.
Lin Naiyue patted the golden-haired girl’s head and said with a smile:
“Good, as long as you’re full. What a good girl.”
Primrose sat on the chair, letting out a long, silent breath.
This breakfast was more exhausting than fighting a battle.
Yuna had already cleaned up the fragments on the floor and walked over to open the door.
At that moment, a knock came at the private room door.
Standing outside was Consta.
