Chapter 28 Using Herself as the Guinea Pig

When Finley came out, Samantha had already placed the dishes on the table.

This time, when preparing the shrimp, Samantha had removed the shells in advance. Now, Finley could eat them without having to peel them himself.

In her previous life, Finley loved shrimp the most. Therefore, Samantha made a lot of it tonight. Throughout the meal, she served Finley the shrimp, leading Finley to glance at her and say, "I don't like others to decide what I eat."
