A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 188 Chapter 188 Yes , Mr.

Lodge .

Emily quickly left to get the exhaust fans .

Downstairs , Brian wore a simple white robe and went to check the fridge .

There were indeed a few simple dishes waiting , but he could tell at once that Ariana hadnt prepared them .

He remembered how Ariana used to make all kinds of creative dishes for him when she stayed at the Lodge residence .

She was worried he might lose his appetite .

Back then , he would decide whether to eat or not depending on his mood .

But now , he had to beg Ariana to cook , and she still refused .

He had no desire to eat anymore , so he slammed the fridge door shut .

Seeing this , Emily asked , Mr.

Lodge , are these dishes not to your liking ? What do you think ? He clearly looked displeased .

Emily was puzzled .

It shouldnt be .

Brian had always liked Marthas cooking .

Why didnt he like it now ? Mr.

Lodge , should I order takeout for you ? No need .

Brian frowned .

Has Ariana eaten anything tonight ? I believe not .

Tell her to come down and eat .

But … Emily meant to say Ariana probably wasnt hungry , but one look at Brians face and she could only do as told .

She headed upstairs , finding Ariana still overseeing the work .

Ms.

Torrey , Mr.

Lodge asked you to come down for dinner Emily said .

I dont eat dinner , Ariana replied flatly .

When Ariana used to live here , she only bothered with dinner so she could see Brian .

Since Brian had stomach issues , he needed to eat his three meals at set times .

But Arlana , on the other hand , had always stuck to two meals a day for the sake of her figure .

Emily knew this , though Brian never had .

Ms.

Torrey , Mr.

Lodge still prefers your cooking .

Maybe you could … Emily was more or less stating the hint outright .

T Arianas voice stayed impassive .

I already said , Im not the housekeeper .

If you want me here , thats fine , but I wont cook .

Ms.

Torrey … Otherwise , Ill leave .

Theres no point staying here anyway +25 BONUS Chapter 188 With that , Ariana stood up and wanted to leave .

Seeing this , Emily immediately said , Ms.

Torrey , please forget I said anything ! Ill go talk to Mr.

Lodge .

She scurried off in case Ariana changed her mind about leaving .

She isnt coming to dinner ? Brian found this ironically amusing .

Previously , Ariana had never missed dinner in this house .

And now she was adamant about skipping it ? Shes clearly going out of her way to oppose me .

Hearing this , Emily said , Mr.

Lodge , actually … Ms.

Torrey didnt eat dinner in the past .

Back when Ariana was living at the Lodge residence , she wouldnt eat dinner unless Brian was home .

At the time , Brian hadnt paid her much attention and never noticed this Brian frowned and asked , How do you know she didnt eat dinner ? Mr.

Lodge , Martha said that whenever you werent home in the evenings , Ms.

Torrey only cooked for Mrs.

Lodge Senior .

There was just one time she made a midnight snack but you threw it out .
