Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 The Food Has Been Tampered With

“Yes.” Charlene chuckled and said, “However, it’s possible that I will need to stay in the villa for some time because of my health, Ms. McKinnon. I’m sorry that you need to put up with me.”

Deidre sneered soundlessly. ‘This woman is really good at being a hypocrite both with her words and demeanor. However, Brendan just can’t seem to notice what a hypocrite she is.’

She nodded. She really wanted to remove herself from that place and head upstairs, but Charlene said, “Let’s have a meal together, Ms. McKinnon. I’m quite good at cooking.”

“It’s fine…” Before she could reject the offer, she sensed Brendan’s overbearing gaze.

He was warning her.

Deirdre changed her words and suppressed her disgust. “Sure.”

Soon, Charlene headed to the kitchen to cook, and they gathered around the dining table. She prepared a full plate of food for Deirdre and said with a gentle smile, “I don’t like your food preferences, so I prepared a normal meal. Have a taste and let me know if you like it, Deirdre.”

As Deirdre picked up the cutlery, she heard Brendan’s insistent, icy remark. “Why would she not like your cooking? Who does she think she is? She’s going to savor every bit, right until the last bite.”

“Yikes, what if Ms. McKinnon complains… that she doesn’t like my cooking?”

“She would not dare. You made this with painstaking effort.”

Deirdre chuckled in a self-mocking way. She picked up a bite with her cutlery and put it in her mouth before she choked on the food and spat it out.

It was too spicy. It was bitter and spicy, and the taste was all sorts of strange.

Charlene’s eyes reddened with tears instantly. “Is my cooking really that bad, Ms. McKinnon?”
