The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2053

Beatrice's words eased Stella's tension.

She quickly smiled and said, "Um... I'm truly honored that you invited me for dinner, Madam Beatrice. However, as a junior, it's really embarrassing to have you, an elder, cook for me. How about I help as well?"

Stella placed her bag aside, intending to follow Beatrice to the kitchen to prepare dinner together. Beatrice, however, extended her hand and calmly gestured to stop her. "No need. You're a guest. How can I let you do the work? Moreover, there's a rule in our Riveras—not everyone can enter the kitchen."

At this point, Beatrice paused for a moment, smiling solemnly. "In the Riveras, only the mistress of the house and the servants are allowed in the kitchen."

Stella's face stiffened. She finally understood Beatrice's intention in inviting her.

Beatrice was using this situation to remind her of her status, to make her realize who she truly was.

"Alright, serve Miss Stella some tea! I should go prepare dinner for our guest now."

Beatrice got up and headed toward the kitchen.

A maid approached Stella. "Miss Stella, please have a seat and try our family's tea!"

Stella's expression was extremely unpleasant. Whether it was Beatrice or the family's maid, every word and sentence served as a reminder that she, Stella, was just a guest in the Riveras.

She gritted her teeth in silence and sat in the living room with the maid.

"Miss Stella, what brings you here?" Melody forced a smile, offering a greeting that revealed her displeasure at seeing Stella.

Stella approached, intimately linking arms with Melody. "I came for dinner. Grandma had Edmund invite me to the set yesterday, saying she wanted to cook me a meal today! Melody, tired from a day of shooting? Sit down and rest! I'll have the servant make you some tea right away!"

Grandma? Grandma Beatrice invited Stella to the house? Moreover, Stella's attitude seemed as if she were the mistress here!

Melody was not clear about the relationship between Beatrice and Stella, but having been in the Rivera household for a while, she had not experienced Beatrice personally preparing dinner for her.

It was a surprise that Grandma Beatrice went into the kitchen herself to cook for Stella. It seemed that Grandma Beatrice quite liked Stella.
