Chapter 48 Tara and Stella worked for a while before it was time for dinner. Jonah and the others took their seats in the dining room while Tara and Stella stood by. Jonah and Shawn were the first to arrive. Tara stood behind Shawn as usual, and Stella took charge of preparing Jonah's meal. Stella believed there was a slim chance of winning over Jonah's heart, but she refused to give up. She was determined that he would eventually warm up to her.

Jonah glanced at Tara, who appeared indifferent towards him. He quickly averted his gaze as if casually scanning the room. Lance and Soren entered the dining room together. They both cast admiring glances at Tara as she worked. Her beauty and grace captivated them entirely. Soren rushed to claim the empty seat next to Shawn, fearing that Lance might take it. Lance, on the other hand, calmly observed Tara before settling in front of Soren.

Tara was too preoccupied with her duties to notice their attention. Throughout the meal, Tara remained focused on her work, tending to the needs of Shawn and Soren without pause. She couldn't afford any mistakes while serving two people. Consequently, she had no spare moment to acknowledge the individuals seated across from her, including Lance, who watched her with a frown. Jonah finished eating first and noticed Tara's slight perspiration. Her flushed face enhanced her delicate complexion.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask Terence to assign two more housekeepers for us." Soren and Shawn turned their gaze towards Tara. In comparison, Stella appeared more at ease since Jonah and Lance didn't require her assistance with their meals, only their towels, which she was happy to provide. For Tara, managing Shawn and Soren was no easy task. While Shawn was undemanding, Soren had numerous preferences and habits that required attention. Tara dedicated most of her time to Soren but didn't neglect Shawn.

She couldn't afford to slack off. Stella took pleasure in observing Tara busily at work, feeling that Tara deserved it for opposing her. Lance frowned upon hearing Jonah's statement, as he had intended to suggest the same thing but was preempted by Jonah. It took Tara a while to realize that the men were all observing her. She pondered if Jonah's comment was prompted by her busyness, meeting his intense gaze with confusion. Jonah looked away and left the dining room.

Soren wasn't intentionally trying to trouble Tara; he simply adhered to his routines. Given Tara's usual distance, he seized the rare chance to engage with her. Tara, swamped with tasks, was perspiring, catching Soren's attention. Regretting his earlier behavior, he reached for his towel, only to find Tara handing it to him. Confused for the first time, Soren gazed at Tara's beauty. She handed him the towel professionally, without complaint.

Despite being well-compensated, Tara didn't mind the work. Jonah's earlier remark made her wonder if he was concerned for her. In that moment, Tara felt touched, realizing Jonah might not be as callous as she had assumed.
