Stella smiled and shook her head without saying anything
Angelina seemed to have understood her silence. “Never mind… Let’s not talk about her. I feel a little
hungry after going to the toilet…”
Then, she smiled and held her. “Shall we go eat something nice?”
“Like what?”
“How about some garlic noodles?”
Stella said, “I can’t really eat heavy food. I’ll just accompany you but not eat, okay?”
“How can I eat that alone? Wouldn’t it be strange for you to stare at me while I eat?”
Angelina shook her head and said, “Come on! Just try it! I’m sure you’ll like it!”
She took her to the food court next door and ordered two plates of garlic noodles from the owner. She
ordered slightly spicy for Stella and medium spicy for herself.
Angelina looked like she knew her way around. She probably came to this food court often.
Stella frowned. “It smells a little strong, and it’s a little pungent…”
“Garlic noodles are like this. They smell bad but taste good!”
Angelina was very enthusiastic and gave her a small portion. “It’s okay. Try it first! You don’t have to eat
it if you don’t like it after trying.”
Stella felt bad declining her after what she had said, so she gave it a try.
Stella had been mildly anorexic since the loss of her baby. Weston had deliberately ordered Joan to
take care of her diet. She was not allowed to eat anything unhealthy, particularly these street foods.
Besides, she rarely had the time to eat out and try street foods. She did not really pay much attention to
her diet.
Stella had not thought she would like the food, but it was surprisingly good. Despite the pungent smell,
it was really tasty, just like Angelina said.
After she finished the small portion, Angelina winked at her. “Am I right? Isn’t it yummy?!”
Stella nodded. “Yeah. It’s not bad.”
While eating, they were laughing and chatting about interesting things on the set. Stella had finished
her food before she realized it. It had been a long while since she felt this good and satisfied to finish
her food. She even craved for more.
Joan would be mad knowing that Stella ate more outside than her home-cooked food with good
ingredients. Although Stella always praised Joan’s cooking, she rarely ate a lot. However, she could
finish a large portion of the unhealthy street food.
Angelina saw Stella smiling and laughed too. “It’s just a meal. Why are you smiling?”
“Am I?” Stella rubbed her face. “I just feel like I haven’t had this much fun eating in a long time…”
“You’re exaggerating!” Angelina was easygoing and had a stress-free life. Besides, she came from a
wealthy family. Her parents were open-minded and let her do whatever she wanted. Therefore, she
could not understand why some people could not eat due to stress.
For her, there was nothing more important than food.
“We can always eat out often in the future, but…”
Angelina looked a little distressed. She put down her cutlery and said, “I can’t eat too much! The
camera is very cruel! Recently, Mr. Lane said I might have gained a little weight.”
“You have to control your calorie intake,” Stella said.” You can satisfy your cravings occasionally, but
you need to eat nutritious food at all times.”
Angelina laughed at her. “Why are you talking like my mom? If I can’t have all these, what would be the
point of living…”
She had finally had enough and ordered another biscuit.“ I’ll have to get back on the treadmill later… or
my face will be swollen tomorrow!”
