' Actually , his second uncle , Richard , has always been scheming to seize the family assets . Even his most trusted assistant , the one with the square face , has already been blackmailed by the uncle using compromising photos . He has already turned against Donald , ' I thought . ' Two years from now , Richard will stage a car accident to kill him and take over the Winner family . But honestly , Richard is terrible at running a business . He's sharp when it comes to backstabbing family but utterly clueless in the corporate world . Letting him take over is really just setting things up for the male lead to swoop in and take over this prime opportunity . ' ' In the end , Donald is just like the Stone Family : a stepping stone for the main leads ! Whatever . I'll find a chance to give him a subtle warning . I can't stand the thought of such a gorgeous , kind - hearted guy dying like that . Oh , what's that smell ? Wow , it smells incredible . His cooking skills are great ! ' I mused . Donald paused for a moment while chopping , then turned to me with a smile . " Anything else you'd like to eat ? " " Wait , are you asking me to order ? You're so nice . Uh , how about spicy chicken , pickled fish , braised lamb , beer - braised duck ? " " I can eat any of those . I'm not picky , " I replied . He pressed a fist to his lips , clearly trying to stifle his laughter . His deep , hoarse voice carried a hint of amusement . " Alright . " Forty minutes later , I sat at the dining table , drooling over the spread of dishes in front of me . ' This isn't just knowing a little ! This is knowing a lot . ' I praised him in my heart . ' Ahh , a man this handsome and talented in the kitchen has to be what people mean when they talk about a living saint ! ' I said inwardly . ' Handsome guy , are you into pets ? Those that don't talk much and just quietly finish three bowls of food in one sitting ? ' " Yunice ! " Harvey shouted my name , glaring at me with a mix of exasperation and warning . " What's the big deal about knowing how to cook 1/2 Chapter 8 He Makes Good Food +25 Bonus anyway ? It's not like it's some rare superpower . " " Actually , it is a big deal . Way better than you , kitchen rookie . " " I'll learn how to cook when I get back ! Just you wait ! " Harvey retorted , stubbornly jutting his chin out . " Ha , I'll be looking forward to it . " " You'd better ! " Donald chuckled but didn't say anything . Instead , he picked up a piece of spicy chicken and placed it in my bowl . " Eat more . " Harvey shot Donald a resentful glare . He was clearly not over it . ' Wow , this is delicious ! If you're not into pets , handsome , I'll happily adopt you instead ! ' I complimented and teased Donald inwardly . After dinner , under the direction of the film's producers , we played a few rounds of games , dragging the night out longer than expected . As everyone started heading off to rest , I suddenly had an idea . I glanced around and said inwardly , ' Hmm ? Where are Alicia and Jeremy ? ' The group paused mid - step . Ah , so Alicia decided to give poor Jeremy , who was cuckolded , a surprise in order to appease him . And now , these two actually went to the woods to do it ! Unbelievable . They can't even hold off for a little while ? I want details ! ' I said excitedly in my heart . Angela , who had been halfway up the stairs and clearly ready to go back to her room to sleep , suddenly turned on her heel . Her exhaustion vanished and was replaced with a gleam of excitement . " Yunice , I ate too much at dinner , and I feel so bloated . How about we go for a stroll ? " Henry was getting ready to head out and call his agent , but he suddenly paused and changed direction , too . " I'll come too . It's late , and it's not safe for just you two girls to go out . " A minute later , I found myself glancing back at the unexpectedly large and orderly entourage trailing behind me . My thoughts were spinning . ' Did everyone really eat that much tonight ? The boxed meals provided by the production crew were hardly edible compared to what Donald cooked ! ' Donald looked at me helplessly . Alicia and Jeremy weren't far ahead . Before long , muffled sounds of what could only be described as an impromptu duet floated back to us , one unmistakably male and the other a female . Of course , the Stone brothers ' faces turned pitch - black . It was their adopted sister , after all . Excitement bubbled up in me , and I itched to follow Angela and Henry into the bushes to spy on the scene . But before I could take a step , Donald stood in my way . He bent down , gently cupped his hands over my ears , and said helplessly , " It's a filthy scene . Don't look . Be good . " ' You know , saying that just makes me more curious ! How is anyone supposed to resist when you're acting so gently ? I know I can't ! ' I teased inwardly . ' If you're so good at stopping me from watching the fun , why don't you let me touch your abs instead ?! I added cheekily in my heart . He burst into laughter . The deep warmth of his laugh seemed to carry a hint of starlight , softening his normally dark , enigmatic gaze . Then , out of nowhere , he actually grabbed my hand and placed it on his abs . " Consider it compensation . " My jaw practically hit the floor . U Support Share
