**CONTENT: Chapter 343 Tenderness**
**Ravenwood Manor**
Standing on the expansive glass veranda of Ravenwood Manor, Sebastian felt a wave of enchantment wash over him as he watched Lillian flit around the kitchen, her energy radiating like sunshine. The delightful aroma of her cooking enveloped him, a fragrant cloud that contrasted sharply with his earlier plans for a romantic dinner at an upscale restaurant—one filled with dim lights and soft melodies. Yet here she was, insisting on creating a meal herself, a choice that both surprised and charmed him. He found himself reluctant to disturb the warm, intimate atmosphere that had settled around them like a cozy blanket.
Lillian moved with an effortless grace, her hands deftly slicing fresh mushrooms, their earthy scent mingling tantalizingly with the rich chicken broth bubbling away on the stove. With a satisfied nod, she dropped the mushrooms into the pot and turned to face him, her playful grin brightening the room. “What’s going on, Sebastian? Are you worried I might burn the place down? Is that why you’re hovering here like a protective hawk?”
A laugh bubbled up from Sebastian at her teasing. He took a step closer, wrapping her in a gentle embrace, leaning in so his lips brushed against her ear as he spoke in a conspiratorial whisper. “What inspired this culinary adventure tonight? I’m genuinely intrigued.”
Her eyes sparkled with mischief, a hint of challenge dancing in her gaze. “Isn’t there a saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? I thought I’d employ my cooking skills to completely ensnare you.”
He held her gaze, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips as he replied, “I hope you realize my tastes are quite refined. You’d better be ready to impress me.”
Without missing a beat, she met his challenge head-on, laughter bubbling forth, bright and unrestrained. “Just wait and see what I have in store for you.”
Before long, the dining table transformed into a feast that would make any royal envious, each dish more sumptuous than the last.
Sebastian took a seat, momentarily rendered speechless. Had he not witnessed her toil over the stove, he would have sworn that a professional chef had crafted this culinary masterpiece.
Lillian caught the astonishment etched on his face and couldn’t resist a grin. “Go on, give it a try. Let’s see if it can satisfy your notoriously picky palate.”
He picked up a rib, the glaze glistening enticingly under the warm light. As he took a bite, the sweet and tangy aroma enveloped him, the meat tender and juicy within, perfectly crisp on the outside.
Holding her breath, she leaned in, her voice laced with nervous anticipation. “So? How does it taste?” It had been some time since she last cooked, and although she had faith in her abilities, a flicker of doubt crept into her mind.
Sebastian chewed thoughtfully, dabbing his lips with a napkin before responding with a straight face, “Not bad.” Then, without hesitation, he reached for another piece, a glint of enjoyment sparkling in his eyes.
Watching him savor each bite with such evident pleasure, Lillian couldn’t help but smile, laughter bubbling up from within her. She had never expected him to be so adorably cocky when it came to food.
