NOVPUBChapter 1296: 587 Homeland_1 Chapter 1296: 587 Homeland_1 Bright Moon brought the newly bought groceries, entered the password, and opened the front door.
Turning around, she saw a woman sitting on the living room sofa.
She first thought she had entered the wrong room.
But there was no mistake, this was the place.
“Excuse me, madam! Are you a friend of Mr.
Brian?”
This woman was incredibly beautiful, her posture elegant as she sat, her eyes sparkled alluringly, presenting quite a stunning beauty.
The woman arched an eyebrow, glancing towards the front door.
...
Bright Moon instinctively recoiled a step back as she felt a sense of dread in the woman’s gaze.
Bright Moon’s attention shifted, her blood chilling.
This woman’s foot was shackled.
Who in the world is she?
The bathroom door opened, and Kelly Martinez came out, drying her dripping hair.
She saw Bright Moon and subconsciously froze.
Bright Moon too froze, her gaze uncertain as she looked at the ‘woman’ across from her.
She promptly dropped the basket of vegetables and grabbed the umbrella hanging in the foyer, pointing it defensively at the stranger, “Who are you exactly?
Breaking into someone’s home, I’m calling the police!”
Kelly Martinez, though exasperated, forgot all about the new girl.
“Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person.”
Bright Moon felt the voice seemed familiar.
She scrutinized the stranger’s eyes, “You! Are you Mr.
Brian’s sister?”
Kelly Martinez had never seen such a naive girl, “Hmm, If you think so, then I must be.”
“It seems I misunderstood.” Bright Moon put down the umbrella, sheepishly saying: “You!you must be hungry, I’ll make some food.
What would you like to eat?”
Kelly Martinez was about to say she didn’t need to bother when she saw the silly girl walking towards the kitchen and decided not to say anything.
She turned on the TV.
The news was covering a story about a missing cargo ship.
Kelly Martinez poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Virginia Frost, “You’re quite pleased with yourself now, aren’t you?
The Rintos have finally seen some trouble.”
Virginia Frost sighed, “Those poor people on the boat, they were innocent.”
Kelly Martinez glanced at her, “The Oscars are poorer for your absence.”
This time, a beautiful singing voice floated in from the kitchen.
Kelly Martinez had heard it before, but another round was still as stunning.
She planned to help Bright Moon launch a singing career.
Given her voice, Bright Moon would certainly become an overnight sensation.
As Virginia Frost listened, she suddenly knitted her brows.
Kelly Martinez noticed Virginia Frost’s unusual reaction and arched an eyebrow without comment.
Soon enough, Scarlett prepared four dishes and a soup, calling the two to eat.
Kelly Martinez offhandedly said to Virginia Frost, “If you want to starve, feel free to keep sitting.”
Virginia Frost finally started moving.
Her foot fettered, she slowly walked over to the dining table and sat down.
As she served the rice, Bright Moon said with some embarrassment, “I’m not that good at cooking, my apologies in advance.”
Virginia Frost glared at the dark thing on her plate, “What is this?”
“Oh, this is called Double Life Charcoal Flower Fish. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
It is a unique dish from my hometown.
We starve a live fish for three days, then we put some smaller fish in its tank.
The famished fish swallows those smaller fish in one gulp.
We prepare the smaller fish in the same way, their stomachs filled with shrimp, then cover the larger fish with a clay wrap and roast it.
The fire is lit with a specific type of grass harvested in September the previous year.
The resulting fish has a unique aroma.”
Virginia Frost furrowed her brows, “Who came up with this way of eating, it’s so cruel.”
Bright Moon was slightly upset.
“How can Madam say that?
The fish are meant to be eaten.
Has Madam never eaten fish in her whole life?
Whether it’s eating fish or not, is there any difference in nobility or kindness?”
Virginia Frost was left speechless, having been rebuked.
Using the back of a knife, Bright Moon carefully cracked open the clay shell covering the fish.
Instantly, a unique aroma spread out, stirring a longing for fine food on the tip of their tongues.
This was an innate desire humans had for delicious food.
Kelly Martinez picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of fish head to taste.
Her eyes brightened immediately: “This is really good.”
Bright Moon gave a shy smile: “I’m glad you like it.”
“Your homeland must be a paradise, not just rich in beauties, but very peaceful too.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been spare time to come up with such an unusual way of eating.”
Bright Moon tensed, her hands tightly clenched, “My hometown is just a very ordinary place.”
Virginia Frost narrowed her eyes, suddenly said, “Judging by your accent, you don’t sound like you’re from the mainland.
You sound more like you’re from Percival.”
Bright Moon blinked, her face innocent, “Percival?
Where is that?”
Virginia Frost chuckled, “You don’t know the country of Percival?”
