Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 282

"I'll listen to you, Master," Mira replied, looking every bit the obedient student, earning a look of disdain from Owen.

Ever since she arrived, their master hardly paid him any attention.

Mira hadn't brought anything extravagant to the master's place—just some premium health supplements, a pot of hearty chicken stew Rachel had made, and some homemade baked goods. Besides, the master had plenty of good things; he wouldn't care for ordinary gifts.

While they spoke, Master Ellis brought out the dough and fillings.

"Come on, since we're free, let's start prepping."

"We don't know how to cook," Silas remarked with a glance.

The master ignored them. The three of them, along with the Iron Wolves, began preparing the food.

Mira had wanted to take over rolling the dough, but the master insisted on doing it himself. To her surprise, he held a small rolling pin in each hand, rolling out two pieces of dough simultaneously.

The crusts were perfectly round and even.

Rachel was usually fast at prepping dough, but the master's speed was several times faster.

"Master, I had no idea you had this skill. You're a culinary god! I need to learn this."

If she mastered this move, it would definitely turn heads.

"Just practice with dough when you have free time, and you'll get the hang of it."

Mira tried to mimic his technique a few times but failed miserably. "Never mind, I'll learn it when I have more time."

She started filling the pies instead. Master Ellis had prepared three types of fillings: beef and mushroom, roasted lamb with herbs, and pulled pork with caramelized onions.

"Master, why don't you and Owen come over to my place for the holidays?" Mira ventured.

She didn't want to pry into whether Master Ellis had family or why Owen hadn't gone home for the holidays. Everyone had their secrets, and she respected them.
