The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 652

Sending this infamous culinary disaster back into the kitchen sounds like a terrible idea. Dining out at a nice restaurant feels infinitely safer and far more relaxing.

"No, no, no, you don't understand, Tara!" Katie waves her hands frantically, desperate to sell her son's appeal. "My foolish boy has been practicing relentlessly at home. He is a completely changed man in the kitchen now. Trust me, he can do this!"

For the sake of her son's romantic happiness—and her own dreams of spoiling future grandbabies—Katie goes all in. Yes, his previous attempts at cooking were terrifying, but the poor man has fought tooth and nail to improve. As his mother, she has to support his sheer determination.

Sensing Tara's lingering doubt, Katie opts for a slightly pitiful tone. "Tara, please, just say yes this one time. I'm his mother, and I have never even tasted a meal cooked by him. I'm just riding your coattails here for the chance to try it. Don't say no."

Danny shifts on his feet, suddenly feeling like he has been painted as the worst son in the city.

He has, in fact, spent the last few weeks rigorously practicing his culinary skills after that disastrous first attempt. He is absolutely confident that he can impress her this time. Needing backup, he shoots a subtle glance at the little boy beside them.

Gavin immediately catches the hint. His short little legs carry him over to Tara. He reaches out, gently tugging the hem of her shirt, looking up at her with wide, pleading eyes that scream how much he wants to taste Danny's cooking.

Gavin has grown fond of Danny. He knows Danny really likes Tara, and Gavin desperately wants them to get along. In his innocent mind, if the two of them stay together and keep him around, they would be just like a real family. It is all he has ever wanted.
