The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 658

"See? I told you Danny is all prepared!"

Katie, thoroughly enjoying her role as the ultimate wingwoman, beams with pride. Catching the heated, undeniable chemistry sparking between Danny and Tara, she knows exactly where this is heading. As an experienced woman, that look in her son's eyes tells her everything she needs to know.

In high spirits, she directs the butler to set the grand dining table, deliberately seating the two of them side by side.

"Tara, I am entirely riding your coattails today. It is a miracle I get to taste my own son's cooking. Please, dig in!" Katie says, laughing as she picks up her silverware.

Once again, she marvels at the fact that a man will move mountains for the woman he loves. But she doesn't mind at all. As long as these two are happy, she's thrilled. Once she finally retires from the pharmaceutical lab, she'll spend her days traveling, relaxing, and playing with her future grandchildren.

Gavin takes the first bite. His eyes widen in delight, and he immediately starts signing enthusiastically, giving Danny his absolute highest review.

"Oh wow, this actually is incredible," Katie says, her eyes lighting up. "The beef is so tender, and this pasta is perfect."

She points her fork toward the spread. "This fusion menu is brilliant. And he made the chicken wings just the way you like them. Eat up, Tara!"

Katie spares no effort in relentlessly marketing her son's virtues.

"Thanks," Tara nods, her eyes curving into a smile.

The pasta and the perfectly seared steaks are plated beautifully and taste even better. But the glazed sea bass is the real test of a chef's skill, and Danny has nailed it. The balance of sweet and savory is flawless.

Tara doesn't hold back. She happily takes generous bites, her cheeks puffing out slightly as she chews. "This is seriously so good!"

Hearing her praise, all the tension leaves Danny's shoulders. Watching her eat with such genuine enjoyment makes his chest ache with affection.

"I'm glad. If you like it, I'll cook for you every day," he says softly.

His smooth response makes Katie clutch her chest, practically screaming internally.
