Chapter 1243
The slight sweetness lingered in her mouth.
This blueberry mousse wasn't as sweet as the cakes she had before. It tasted like yogurt, and the sugar content was very low.
However, it was delicious for someone like her who had not had dessert in a long time.
The first mouthful seemed to have opened up her stomach, and she couldn't help but stuff another spoon into her mouth.
Lily intervened just as she was about to put it in her mouth. "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Anastasia looked at her, her eyes filled with puzzlement and dissatisfaction.
She would lose it if Lily suddenly stopped her from eating right now.

"You can have this, but promiseyou'll eat it slowly! Enjoy the taste of the food, feel each bite, and taste all the flavors."
Anastasia had never done this before. Every tshe ate, she was either pampered with food or restricted. She was either pushed
to eat a lot very quickly or not allowed to eat all sorts of food.
No one had ever told her to enjoy and savor the food slowly.
However, she listened to Lily's advice and took small mouthfuls of the mousse. The yogurt melted on the tip of her tongue. The
food's texture and taste went from her taste buds to her brain, which triggered a good feeling in her.
She ate and ate before staring at the remaining blueberry mousse in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked when she noticed that Anastasia had stopped eating. "Is it not good?"
Anastasia shook her head before letting out a sigh. "I've never tasted food this way. I've always seen food as a temptation, a trap,
and my enemy. It will makefat, and it's a sign of gluttony. Then I'll go back to struggling with it. I..."
Panting, she stopped mid-sentence. Then she lowered her head and put down the fork quietly.
"Food is a human need. Your body needs nutrition and supplements from food. They're not your enemy," Lily said, lightly patting
the back of Anastasia's hand in an attempt to comfort her.
Anastasia nodded, slowly finished the blueberry mousse, and wiped her mouth. When she raised her head again, she was glowing
with satisfaction.
She had never eaten so contentedly before. She ate fast because she was afraid that she would have to go on a diet after one
meal. She had never properly enjoyed how the food tasted.
This was the first tshe had savored the food. The sourness of the yogurt and the sweetness of the blueberries left a taste in her
mouth that she couldn't get out.
This feeling was unprecedented and wonderful. She was delighted.

"Thank you!" She was wholeheartedly thankful for Lily.
Anastasia was not an unreasonable person. Although she was unclear about the dress, she made the assumption that Lily was
deliberately stealing it from her to embarrass her. That was the reason why she cin with a negative connotation.
Now that she knew Lily wasn't such a person and that the only villain was the salesgirl back in the boutique, who even tried to use
her, Anastasia would naturally not let the salesgirl slide.
Putting away the dress, Anastasia picked up the box and said, "Thank you for the dress. | like it very much. If there is a chance, |
will surely return the favor."
"You don't have to." Lily smiled.
"All right," Anastasia replied, standing up. "I should go to the store to pick up my dress. Please excuse me."
Hearing this, Lily politely gestured to her to let her know she could leave.
