Chapter 240

Evadne had been enjoying the comforts of home for three consecutive days, her routine consisting of little more than eating and sleeping. She was like a piglet in a pen, nursing on slop.

Her stepmothers were all too keen to pamper her. Myra was in charge of the kitchen, preparing a steady stream of delicious dishes for Evadne.
