She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 477: Grilled Fish

As time passed, the fragrant smell of grilled fish gradually filled the air. Despite the simplicity of the seasonings used here, the fish from the sea swam far and wide, resulting in delicious and firm flesh. Kelvin took a bite and looked at her in surprise. "How did you learn to grill fish? It tastes great."

Cheyenne hummed nonchalantly, giving a casual reply. "My grandfather taught me medicine when I was young, and I had to dissect various small animals."

"For example, after I dissected rabbits, I would make braised rabbit meat."

"I dissected fish the most. I've tried braising, steaming, and poaching, but I prefer grilling."

As she finished speaking, Kelvin suddenly felt that the fish in his hand no longer tasted good. He frowned and asked, "What about mice?"

Cheyenne paused for a moment, playfully stuck out her tender pink tongue, and intentionally said, "Of course, I've eaten mouse meat too. It's actually quite delicate, much like snake meat... just a little gamey." "Ugh!"

Kelvin was so shocked that the fish in his hand fell to the ground, and his exceptionally handsome face changed color.

This reaction was enough to make Cheyenne burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Kelvin, you're so easy to fool. You didn't actually believe me, did you? My goodness, do you really think I'm that naive?"

"And you're the CEO of the Foley Group. You could go bankrupt at any minute with your intelligence..."

She looked at him disdainfully. "I suggest you retire early, rest at home and take care of some flowers. Those don't require much thinking."

At her words, Kelvin's face darkened, but he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

There were few people in this world who dared to mock him except Cheyenne...

"So, you've never actually eaten mouse meat."

Cheyenne nodded slightly, then said seriously, "I haven't had mouse meat, but I have eaten snake meat."

"When I was in eleventh grade, Nora and Danielle tried to scare me by putting a meter-long rat snake in my schoolbag."

"What they didn't know was that I happened to be hungry for a day and a night. After Reece and I skinned and deboned the snake, we grilled it and sprinkled some chili powder on it. It tasted pretty good. The students in the next class were even drooling."

If it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely be scared if a snake suddenly crawled out of her schoolbag. But Cheyenne, who had been trained by Layne, was already accustomed to blood and corpses... She had dissected countless snakes.

This small rat snake couldn't scare her.

After eating the snake, Cheyenne even hung the snake skin on Danielle's seat... It was a snake that Danielle bought herself, but she ended up getting frightened and hospitalized the next day.

The grudge between her and Danielle deepened even further.

As Kelvin listened to her recount this experience with a smile, he was filled with deep concern, and a trace of displeasure flickered in his deep-set eyes.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have given the Parry Group a chance and would have directly caused their stocks to plummet and be delisted!

"I'm sorry."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Kelvin's sudden apology caught Cheyenne off guard, leaving her at a loss for words. Her voice abruptly stopped, and it took her several minutes to finally respond. "It has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to apologize."

How could it have nothing to do with him? If he had realized her worth earlier and treated her better, she wouldn't have been bullied... let alone experience such pain.

Kelvin wanted to say something, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the dull yellow behind Cheyenne, not far away. The tiger, standing on all fours, slowly approached her, its brown-yellow eyes turning emerald green in the sunlight, emitting an eerie aura.

"Cheyenne!" Kelvin's voice trembled with a deep tone of surprise.

Cheyenne looked up at him, her face filled with confusion and innocence, utterly adorable.

"What's wrong?"

"Behind you..."

Instinctively, she turned her head

and widened her eyes. She saw the tiger, about a meter tall, walking towards them. Her calm heart started pounding intensely. How did this creature suddenly appear here?

Oh no!

What should they do now?

Cheyenne instinctively crouched down, picking up a stone in her hand, locking eyes with the tiger...

One second passed.

Seemingly wary of the stone in her hand, the tiger remained still.

Two seconds passed, it attempted to move its front paws. Cheyenne raised the stone again, startling the tiger into taking a step backward.

But it didn't leave.

Three seconds passed, and the tiger showed signs of turning away... Just as Cheyenne and Kelvin thought the tiger would leave and let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a gust of wind roared past them. The tiger deceived them by directly running towards the spot where they sat. It pounced, opening its jaws wide and seizing the roasted fish that Kelvin had dropped on the ground. Then it ran off.

By the time they reacted, the tiger had run quite far with the roasted fish in its mouth. Its tail, adorned

with stripes, was raised high, trembling in the wind, appearing

somewhat cute.

Cheyenne stared in astonishment at this scene, dumbfounded. She bewilderedly touched the back of her head and asked. "Was that tiger using a diversion tactic just now?" Kelvin never expected that this seemingly dangerous tiger would actually come for their roasted fish.

There were still many unexpected things happening. The next day, when Cheyenne and Kelvin woke up, they suddenly found a pile of wild fruits at the entrance of the cave. On the broken branches, there were brightly colored red berries that resembled strawberries.

She also found plum-shaped footprints on the ground.

It was the tiger's doing.

"Kelvin, come and see! Isn't this its apology for eating our roasted fish? It's offering us fruits as compensation."

He was obviously surprised too, but then he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"This beast is so clever. If possible, I would like to take it back and raise it."

Cheyenne crouched down and picked one of the berries, eating it.

Unexpectedly, it was sweet.

Kelvin wasn't accustomed to eating fruits in the morning, so he casually tasted one and stopped. However, Cheyenne couldn't resist and greedily ate several more. As soon as she swallowed them, something started to feel off.

So hot!

"Cheyenne, what's wrong with you?" Kelvin noticed that she wasn't feeling well. Why was her face turning so red?

He leaned down and sniffed. There was a mesmerizing scent coming from her. Fragrant like fruits, yet reminiscent of alcohol.

There was something wrong with these berries!
