Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 1512

Chapter 1512: Plans Disrupted

Algerone Swain appeared with two bowls of dumplings, his face brimming with a cheerful smile. "Belinda, come quickly. You've worked hard all afternoon. You should taste these dumplings while they're hot. I'll take care of our guests."

He placed the bowls of dumplings down and quickly offered a pair of forks to Belinda, still smiling warmly at her.

At that moment, Belinda was sitting on the sofa, looking up to meet his glowing smile, "... " she really didn't know what to say.

Algerone Swain remained half-bent, looking at her, remaining silent, offering the forks, hoping she would reach out and take them.

Belinda did not want to embarrass him. Despite his somewhat childish behavior that evening, he was, after all, Monica's father and the chairman of the Swain Group.

So, she took the forks and rose to the table.

Algerone Swain quickly moved a chair for her, "Come, Belinda, sit!" he said, in a very affectionate manner.

Belinda felt awkward but sat down nonetheless.

"Dad," Monica brought a bowl of dumplings to him, smiling, "You should eat while it's hot."

"Alright, alright." The middle-aged man happily took the fork, not forgetting to glance at Jack Adams before sitting down next to Belinda.

After tasting just one dumpling, he began to lavish praise, "Belinda, these dumplings are just as good as the noodles you cooked! Delicious!"

How awkward!

Everyone looked at him.

Algerone Swain was very excited, even glancing at Jack Adams before continuing to boast, "Belinda, the noodles you cooked for me last time were so good!"

Belinda looked at him, "Can't the dumplings keep your mouth shut?" she thought, is there no end to this?

Monica shrank back slightly, feeling as if a row of crows were flying over her forehead...

"Dumplings should be eaten while hot, less talking." Belinda added, her tone acceptable, seemingly reducing the awkwardness.

"Yes, yes, you're right." Algerone Swain didn't object and seemed to enjoy it. The way he was acting, it was as if he would listen to anything Belinda said.
