Crimson glared at her, then swept his gaze over the table loaded with food. "Can't even spare some for a meal?"
It wasn't like it was anything fancy, just some home-cooked dishes.
Flora sighed, knowing she'd never win an argument with Crimson.
Connor's eyes lingered on the chopsticks Crimson was holding. He squinted slightly before ordering someone to bring a new set.
No one else could use anything Flora had used, not even if they were a girl.
Crimson caught on to Connor’s thoughts and clicked her tongue in annoyance.
What a possessive man.
His possessiveness was off the charts!
The new cutlery arrived quickly, and Crimson casually picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork rib and took a bite.
Flora always went on about how amazing Connor's cooking was.
Crimson never bought into it, thinking Flora was just lovestruck.
Connor, a pampered rich kid, could cook, which was surprising enough, but how good could it actually be?
But one bite shut her up.
The ribs were so tender they practically melted in her mouth, and the sauce exploded with a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors. The meat was rich but not greasy, especially the sauce that coated her taste buds, leaving a memorable impression.
Crimson couldn't help but swallow and reached for another piece.
Seeing Crimson enjoy the food, Louie and Rafael couldn’t resist grabbing their chopsticks to try some too.
They were often away for work, mostly eating takeout or at restaurants until they were sick of it. It was rare to have such a delicious home-cooked meal, almost bringing them to tears.
They couldn't help but serve themselves a few more portions.
The rest of the group, initially hesitant and wary of Connor, saw how Crimson and the others were unapologetically devouring the food and couldn’t resist joining in.
Within minutes, only scraps were left on the table.
Flora was fuming.
She hadn’t even gotten to eat yet!
