The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200 The Key to His Villa

Then Draven rolled up the windows and locked the doors.

Only after doing all of this did he feel reassured enough to leave and head into the supermarket for fresh pasta and ingredients.

After buying everything, Draven drove Cassia back to his villa.

She still hadn’t woken up.

Draven looked at her sleeping so soundly, so completely unguarded, and felt an inexplicable tenderness well up inside him.

His gaze drifted downward, landing on her fair, delicate hands.

Earlier that day, Rosalie had touched her hand.

It had looked like it felt really nice.

Draven rubbed his fingers together. They were starting to have a mind of their own.

“Mm…”

Cassia slowly opened her eyes and looked at Draven groggily.

“We’re here?”

“Yeah.”

Draven pulled his hand back, his handsome brows drawing together.

“Why didn’t you wake me?” Cassia pushed open the car door and got out.

“You looked so peaceful. I didn’t have the heart to.” Draven got out too and walked to the trunk to grab the groceries.

“Let me.” Cassia reached out to take them. “You already spent money on the ingredients, and you’re cooking too. At least let me carry them.”

Draven handed the bags to Cassia and also placed a key in her hand.

“This is the key to my villa.”

“Oh, okay.” Cassia took the key and slipped it into her pocket.

The cool metal settled into her pocket, and through the thin fabric, she could feel its chill.

Draven watched Cassia put his key in her pocket, and the corners of his lips curved up involuntarily.

She looked up and caught the smile playing on Draven’s lips.

Not only that, but there was a hint of joy in his handsome features.

Did something good happen? Cassia wondered but didn’t ask.

They arrived at Draven’s villa, and he led Cassia to the kitchen with the groceries.

“Should I help wash the vegetables?” Cassia asked, watching Draven bustle around the kitchen.

She couldn’t just let him do everything by himself.

“Go watch some TV. I’m used to cooking alone.”

Draven was lying.

Compared to cooking alone, he much preferred having someone to cook with.

With a man and a woman working together, no task felt tiring.

But…

This was a rare chance to show off his masculinity in front of her.

He hadn’t gotten to take her to the racetrack, so spending time alone with her here wasn’t bad either.

And more importantly, this was actually his first time cooking.

He didn’t want her to see him looking up recipes online. That would be embarrassing.

Hearing Draven say that, Cassia didn’t feel right staying in the kitchen.

Besides, it was just a simple creamy tomato beef pasta dish. Nothing too complicated. With her excellent cooking skills, she could whip it up with her eyes closed.

Cassia went back to the living room. With nothing else to do, she sat on the couch, turned on the TV, and lounged comfortably.

Before long, Draven came out with two steaming plates of pasta.

“It’s ready. Careful, it’s hot,” Draven handed Cassia a pair of clean forks.

“Thanks.” Cassia looked down at the plate.

The strips of beef were sliced uniformly, each piece the same size and length, arranged beautifully on top.

It reminded her of the time in the hospital when Draven had cut apple slices for her, each piece perfectly identical.

He was definitely someone with a perfectionist streak.

Cassia also noticed the fried egg on her side plate.

She had no idea how he had managed it, but the egg was fried into a perfect circle, like a full

moon.

She should definitely ask him for tips on that technique.

This plate of pasta wasn’t just ordinary food. It was practically a work of art.

Cassia didn’t have the habit of posting food pictures online, but if she did, this would have definitely racked up a ton of likes.

While Cassia was admiring the pasta, Draven had already started eating.

But he kept sneaking glances at her, waiting for her reaction.

He had tasted it in the kitchen earlier. It wasn’t bad.

He just didn’t know if it would suit her palate.

After 39 seconds, Draven finally saw Cassia pick up her fork.

She twirled some pasta, brought it to her lips, blew on it gently, then opened her mouth and took a bite.

Draven watched the entire time.
