Chapter 31 Jonathan’s Improved Appetite

Feeling mischievous. Angela’s face warmed up. However, she refrained from blushing and maintained a serious expression as she said, Jonathan, I was just admiring your hands. They’re quite attractive, much better than the barren ground outside your place and the interior decor.” 

To assure him of her sincerity, Angela acted genuinely

He glanced down at his hands, turning his wrists and appearing somewhat puzzled, Attractive?” 

Angela noticed that in this life, Jonathan, who was typically seen as distant and unresponsive, often labeled as a shrewd and emotionless businessman by others, turned out to be somewhat gullible

She nodded earnestly, her bright eyes displaying her utmost sincerity. Jonathan, don’t doubt yourself. Your hands are the most appealing I’ve ever seen.” 

And so is your entire being, she whispered in her heart

In their next conversation, she refrained from saying the next line. Although it was genuine, she felt it might come off as a bit too flattering

Jonathan was born into a prominent family and was favored by fortune. Despite having some chronic illnesses, countless people throughout his life have always showered him with flattery and admiration. He wouldn’t miss one more

Angela vividly recalled the day they first met when he told her not to go out of her way to please him

He likely didn’t appreciate such words

So, after she finished speaking, she remained silent, behaved honestly this time, and avoided eye contact

Jonathan also fell silent

However, for some reason, she felt that the atmosphere around him at this moment was much gentler than before

In their previous life, every time she tried to please him with a few words, she was frightened away by hist icy reception. Hence, she dared not say much

Soon, Sebastian returned. He placed the skyblue ceramic bowl neatly, and Angela kindly helped him open the lunchbox

Once it was opened, a rich aroma wafted out with billowing white steam. Sebastian, who was standing nearby, couldn’t resist taking a deep breath

When he lowered his head to look, the creamy fish soup was adorned with bright red wolfberries and a sprinkle of fresh green spring onions. It was truly tempting

Sebastian had lived for most of his life, and his desire for food was no longer strong. Yet, at this moment, he couldn’t resist swallowing a mouthful of saliva

He thought that when she mentioned medicated meals, it would be something like boiling a pot of traditional medicine. Surprisingly, this looked better than those made in upscale restaurants, and upon

Chapter 31 Jonathan’s Improved Appetite

closer inspection, it had no hint of medicinal scent

Fortunately, Sebastian had strong selfcontrol. He quickly suppressed his hunger and served a small bowi for Jonathan, saying, Mr. Lawson.” 

Although he didn’t stay by Jonathan’s side regularly, he knew that due to his health, he often lacked appetite and generally ate sparingly

Jonathan took the bowl and tasted a spoonful, and a refreshing, aromatic flavor instantly danced on his taste buds. Any signs of gloom on his face disappeared as well

Soon, he emptied the small bowl of soup, and when he looked up, he noticed Sebastian and Angela watching him intently, which made him pause for a moment

Angela wore an expression as if asking, How is it?” 

Sebastian seemed surprised. He wondered why Jonathan had such a hearty appetite today

How’s the food, Jonathan?Angela asked, unsure of his taste preferences. She had forgotten to inquire before arriving and felt a bit uneasy. Hence, she looked at him with anticipation

It’s alright,Jonathan replied, glancing at her. A slight ease appeared on his face. Then, he looked at Sebastian and added, Sebastian, you should also have some later

Although his expression was subdued, she could sense it went beyond mere politeness, However, she wasn’t feeling hungry at the moment, so she was about to decline the offer, signaling that she would eat at school. Unexpectedly, Sebastian responded almost instantly

“Absolutely, Mr. Lawson.” 

Angela had to hold back her words becauseSebastian looked like he was very hungry

Sebastian didn’t bring Angela to Jonathan’s room for dinner. Instead, he took her to the living room. Just as they had finished eating, he suddenly remembered something and said cheerfully, Oh, by the way, Carrie made dessert yesterday and put it in the fridge. Would you like some?” 

Upon hearing this, Angela’s eyes lit up. It wasn’t just the dessert itself, but the mention of the refrigerator

A refrigerator! If only she had one too. She could store ingredients and wouldn’t have to rush out to buy them early in the morning. Especially on mornings when she had classes, she wouldn’t have enough time to prepare simple medicinal meals

Angela eagerly nodded and followed Sebastian to the kitchen. Her attention was immediately drawn to the doubledoor refrigerator

Surprisingly, they already had doubledoor refrigerators. The Kins Family was still using a singledoor 

Conc

Inside the fridge, there were only a few quick meals and a cake. These items didn’t take up much space, so there was plenty of room inside

Sebastian took out the cake and said, Carrie made this yesterday. She occasionally prepares food for Mr. Lawson when she comes over to clean. However, he has a poor appetite and rarely eats them.”
