Makenna didn't expect him to suddenly mention her. She smiled politely and said, "I..."
"Do you dislike it?" Cole interrupted her explanation.
Makenna quickly shook her head in denial. "I didn't."
"Then why don't you eat?" Cole changed the topic again.
Amber and the others all knew that he was deliberately provoking Makenna and Jared. So they put down their forks and watched the show with interest.
"That's right, Miss Gardner. You love Jared, right? Have a try then." Hayden held his head and said with a half-smile.
Stella also nodded. "This is made by Mr. Farrell himself. Don't embarrass your lover."
Logan's mouth moved. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jared's cold eyes.
As for Amber, she drank the soup calmly and did not say anything. If it weren't for the playful look in her eyes, it would seem that this had nothing to do with her.
Makenna's eyes were red as she looked at the group of people. She hated them so much.
These people were obviously trying to make fun of her and make her eat such ghastly food. They even used Jared to force her in order to achieve their goals.
If she didn't eat it, it would mean that she didn't love Jared enough. Even if Jared didn't say anything, he would doubt her feelings for him. These people was really vicious.
"Okay, I'll eat!" Makenna took a deep breath and replied with a forced smile.
Cole and the others were stunned at first, and then they laughed happily.
"Mrs. Gardner, good for you. You really love Mr. Farrell." Stella gave a thumb-up.
Makenna smiled and said nothing.
True love?
This had nothing to do with true love. She was forced by them.
Makenna bit her lip and picked up her fork.
Jared held her hand and said, "You don’t have to. Just ignore them."
"It doesn't matter. They are right. This is your first time cooking for me. I have to try it." After that, Makenna gently moved his hand away.
Although Jared still didn't agree with her eating, he didn't stop her.
Perhaps, he also wanted to know how she would react after eating these dishes.
Under their gazes, Makenna stretched her fork to a plate of potatoes and got a potato stick that didn't look like a shredded potato.
"Eat. Why are you stopping?" Seeing that she hesitated to put the potato stick in her mouth, Cole began to urge her.
Makenna felt a deep hatred in her heart. She also knew that she had to eat it. After closing her eyes, she mustered up the courage to put the potato stick into her mouth.
In an instant, an indescribable strange smell spread out in her mouth.
Her expression changed again and again. In the end, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and run to the bathroom.
When she entered the bathroom, she could still hear Cole and the others chortling behind her.
"Jared, it seems that Miss Gardner doesn't like your cooking very much. If she can't stand it, she will throw up directly." While drinking juice, Hayden teased Jared.
"Maybe Miss Gardner doesn't really love you, Mr. Farrell. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thrown up. If it were me, no matter how bad my babe's cooking is, I would swallow it without a straight face. I wouldn't have thrown up like this." Cole also smiled.
Jared's face fell and he pursed his thin lips without saying anything.
In fact, he understood Makenna's behavior. After all, the food was really yuck.
But when he saw her throw up, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Just like Cole said, she had never thought about whether she would embarrass him by doing so.
"All right, let's eat. Stop talking." Amber, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke when she saw Jared's grim face.
She didn't do this to help Jared.
Instead, she was worried that Cole and the others would say something bad that completely angered Jared.
