The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 62

The reason Julian was so decadent and cynical right now was because of his deep-rooted pride. He simply could not accept the fact that he was now disabled.

As for someone who admired his talent and had gone to great lengths to get close to him...

As long as he confirmed she posed no real threat, he wouldn't actually harbor much hostility toward her.

Now that she had a perfectly legitimate reason to stay at Mrs. Remington's house, winning Julian over was only a matter of time.

As evening approached, the sky turned a serene pale blue. The moon peeked through the branches, and the mouth-watering aroma of dinner drifted through the residential building.

"Mrs. Remington, dinner's ready!"

Mika, wearing an apron, carried a dish of tender, honey-glazed pork with potatoes to the dining table.

Mrs. Remington walked over from the television, looking at the beautifully presented dish with admiration.

"Well done, sweetheart. This looks like it came straight out of a restaurant."

"There's more in the kitchen."

Mika ducked back into the kitchen, quickly bringing out a savory baked frittata, pan-seared sea bass, roasted spring vegetables, and a creamy tomato bisque.

In no time, the table was completely filled. Mika took off her apron and introduced the food with a bright smile.

"I wasn't sure what you liked, so I made two rich dishes and two lighter ones.

For the glazed pork, I specifically chose lean center-cut meat with less fat, so it's a bit healthier."

"Wonderful, wonderful." Mrs. Remington beamed and immediately called out to Julian, who was still out in the yard soaking in the moonlight.

"Jules, time to eat! Come see what a fantastic cook Mika is!"

Julian wheeled himself inside with a blank expression, his gaze pausing on the dining table.
