Grayson Pierce and Eloise Caldwell novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 I’ll Get It Done

Eloise said, “It’s fine. I’m already halfway done. If I stop now, the ingredients will go to waste.”

Grayson put a hand on her arm. “I’ll do it.”

He was so assertive, he didn’t give Eloise a chance to say no. He took off her apron and tied it around himself.

The cute, checkered apron looked a little ridiculous on him. Noah couldn’t help but laugh.

Grayson shrugged and dragged Eloise into the kitchen.

“Grayson, let me handle it,” Eloise said.

“Seriously? You think I can’t handle this? If I can run a company, I can definitely cook a meal,” Grayson shot back.

Eloise had no choice but to keep quiet.

An hour later, Grayson finally managed to whip up three dishes.

Eloise thought about making another dish, but after a moment, she decided against it. If she kept cooking, Noah would be famished.

Noah was already sitting at the dining table, grinning as he watched Grayson bring the food out. But as soon as Noah saw those three dishes, he instantly lost his appetite.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Noah jumped up to open it. When he saw Juliette, he called out, “Juliette.”

Juliette walked in, carrying a bag full of pot roast and other braised treats.

She did a double take when she saw Grayson wearing an apron. “Well, look who’s in the kitchen today,” Juliette teased.

Grayson knew Juliette was Eloise’s bestie and her senior from college. He no kitchen to grab some plates and utensils.

Juliette pulled Eloise aside and whispered, “What’s going on? Are you two living gether now?”

Eloise took the bag of pot roast from Juliette. “No, we’re not.”

“Then why is he here? And he actually rolling up his sleeves and cooking? If people found out, no one would believe it,” Juliette said.

Eloise replied, “I accidentally cut my hand, so he ended up cooking.”

Eloise unpacked the food and set it out on the table. When Noah spotted his favorite pot roast, he figured at least there was something decent to eat tonight.

Juliette glanced at the three dishes on the table and made a face. “Is this even edible?”

“I mean, it should be edible, probably,” Eloise mumbled.

Grayson came back with plates and utensils, handing a set to Juliette as well.

Juliette smiled and sat down beside Noah. That left Eloise with no choice but to sit next to Grayson.

Grayson couldn’t be happier. He loved how Juliette just knew where to sit.

Juliette and Noah were all about the pot roast, totally ignoring Grayson’s cooking.

Eloise made a point of eating Grayson’s food, just to be nice.

Juliette gave her a quick glance. “Is it any good?”

Eloise said, “It’s not bad.”

Juliette took a bite, just to see how bad it really was. Turns out, it wasn’t as terrifying as it looked, at least it was edible.

“Mr. Pierce, if you ever want to cook for youyen Yame you rel need to step up your game. Seriously,

you should take a cooking class,” Juliette joked.

Grayson nodded. “Sure, I’ll sign up soon.”

Eloise scooped some vegetables into Noah’s bowl. “Come on, don’t just eat the meat. Have some greens too.”

Noah wrinkled his nose, but ate them anyway.

After dinner, Eloise started to get up and head for the sink, but Juliette pulled her back. “Your hand’s hurt, you shouldn’t touch water,” she Juliette said.

Eloise shot her a glare. Juliette just winked, flashing a sly grin.

Grayson gathered up the dishes and headed to the kitchen to wash them. Having learned his lesson, he didn’t go overboard with the dish soap this time.

Juliette nudged Eloise, grinning slyly. “Honestly, I think Mr. Pierce is actually pretty awesome. He’s so chill when he’s cooking and washing dishes.

“You know, guys who’ll do the dishes are rare these days. Grayson’s had everything handed to him since he was a kid. But look at him, wearing an apron, cooking, and even doing the dishes himself.

“That’s already better than most guys. Eloise, seriously, stop stressing and just go for it with him.” Eloise stole a look at Grayson’s tall frame in the kitchen. Something about it just didn’t sit right.

‘Guys like Grayson just aren’t meant for kitchens. Honestly, he doesn’t belong here with me either, Eloise thought.

Seeing Eloise stay quiet, Juliette sighed. “You really think too much. Grayson wants to get back together. Just agree, but this time, make him meet your terms.

“If you’re going to reconcile, then just get married right away. Even if you split up later, you’ll get some compensation out of it. It’s not a loss.

“And if you’re lucky, you three could actually live happily together. Noah would fina” Juliette was saying all this because Eloise had set her heart on Grayson all thes another soul. That was why Juliette figured it’d be better for them to just make up “Eloise, just be brave. It’s not a big deal,” Juliette said.

Eloise was quiet for a moment before saying, “Do you think two people from such different worlds could ever really be happy together?”

Juliette smirked. “How would you know if you don’t try? I think Grayson’s pretty decent. He’s got guts and takes responsibility. Unlike my ex, who didn’t even have the nerve to admit we were together.”

Thinking back, Juliette felt like she’d wasted her feelings on her ex.

“Juliette, are you okay?” Eloise asked.

Juliette waved her hand. “Don’t worry about me, I’m not hung up on him. He’s ancient history.”

Juliette didn’t stick around for long and soon headed out.

Grayson finished up the dishes, but just lingered around, refusing to leave. He slyly leaned in close to Eloise and whispered, “Your hand’s hurt. Let me give you a bath.”

Eloise’s face turned bright red as she shoved him away. “Get lost.”

It was just a little cut, not like she’d had surgery or anything. Grayson was just looking for an excuse to get close to her.

‘Seriously, this guy always has his mind in the gutter, Eloise thought.

Grayson tried to inch closer, but Eloise pushed him out the door. “Just go home already. Bye.”

With that, she slammed the door shut.

Grayson left reluctantly, making sure to take the trash out on his way down.

The next day, Grayson drove back to Pier
