Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1504

"Alright then, I should be back in a couple of days," Andrew said before ending the call.

He returned to the table and began eating.

Tiana carried more authority than most in the Rhodes family, including even Jameson, the head of the house. So, when Jerry and the other Rhodes family fighters sat at the table with her, they were painfully cautious, practically eating in fear.

Even Natasha was not spared. Her hand trembled as she reached for food.

Seeing this, Andrew chuckled helplessly and picked up several large servings, placing them onto Natasha's plate. She glanced up at him with a grateful and pitiful look, then bowed her head and ate in silence.

Tiana barely touched her food before putting down her utensils, clearly uninterested.

Andrew said, "Mrs. Rhodes, you really should eat more. Finding decent food won't be easy once we get deep into the mountains."

Tiana replied flatly, "I can't stomach these bland local dishes."

Andrew did not press further.

Even at Tiana's age, she always carried herself with the elegance and pride of aristocracy. Sometimes, she was even more willful than a teenage girl—something Andrew had experienced firsthand.

"Mrs. Rhodes, I hope I'm not interrupting your meal," Chantelle's voice rang out as she walked over.

Tiana smiled politely. "Of course not, Ms. Garcia. Please, have a seat."

Chantelle sat down and glanced toward Andrew. "Mr. Lloyd, I'd like to discuss our next steps."

Andrew kept eating, not even looking up. "There's nothing to discuss. You ignored my arrangement and brought two useless tagalongs. So from here on, we go our separate ways."

Chantelle frowned. "Are you seriously still holding a grudge over that? Come on, you're a grown man. Don't be so petty."
