Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 196

Henry glared at her and snorted, “I won’t eat it!”

Emily raised her eyebrows while showing a disdainful expression, “Do you call yourself a man?”

“Even if I’m a man, I still won’t eat it.”

“If you don’t eat it, you are not a man.”

“You… uh!”

This piece of meat was abruptly stuffed into his mouth!

Henry widened his eyes as he had an impulse to pluck off this rascal’s head here and now.

But, this piece of meat…

He chewed on it lightly at first, and then he proceeded to gobble up the whole thing before swallowing it.

It was really not that spicy after all.

“Is it good?” Emily said with raised eyebrows, her smile was exuding confidence.

This meat that she had cooked was neither overcooked nor undercooked; the sauce that she had whipped up was exquisite in taste too. She believed her skills were enough to satisfy this man’s appetite.

Henry remained silent. Although this meat was unexpectedly delicious, he wouldn’t admit it no matter what.

Emily picked up another piece of meat and placed it into his bowl while reminding him, “Eat it fast, or else it will taste cold and overcooked soon.”

It would become overcooked after it became cold? It was the first time he had heard of this reasoning.

Despite that, that piece of meat he had tasted was smooth and tender. It was cooked with the correct level of flame so it didn’t taste bad at all.

He hadn’t had his lunch at noon, so he was indeed famished now.

He picked up the chopsticks to send a piece of beef into his mouth.

“This is tasty, am I right? This cow louver is equally delicious too, give it a try… what do you say?”

“It’s alright.” He didn’t expect that something that looked so ugly was really edible.

He used his chopsticks to fumble with the contents on a plate as he frowned, “What’s this?”

“This is mashed shrimp wah, do you want to try it?” Without waiting for him to give any response, Emily scooped up a portion of the mashed shrimp wah and sent it into the pot.

“What about this? What is this?” It seemed like these food were all not so bad.

“These are meatballs, are you telling me you never tried this before? You’re so outdated!”

“These are usually eaten by poor people anyway, what’s wrong with never trying them?”

“You are always right since you’re born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You’re great because of your wealth.”

Henry decided to ignore her as he pointed at another plate with his chopsticks, “What is this?”

“You’re acting like a curious baby now who doesn’t know anything at all. It makes you look so stupid.”

“Emily!”

“This is sea lettuce, it’s very tasty too. I’ll cook it for you, calm your anger now.”

“Humph!”

The both of them were instantly lost in waves of explosions of taste while enjoying their steamboat.

This was the charisma of steamboat which could temporarily make someone forget about his or her whereabouts and identity. That person would also be oblivious to his or her surroundings too.

Two other people who sat at the other end of the table just silently watched Emily and Henry who were being too close for comfort. They were having very different thoughts at this moment.

Wendy was ecstatic when she saw this scene. Emily was courting death by being so intimate with another guy in front of none other than Young Master Hunter.

Despite that, she couldn’t see through what Hunter was thinking at the moment.

He was looking like his usual self. No, it was more accurate to say that there was not even a hint of expression on his face.

He was just grabbing a pair of chopsticks without using them. He didn’t look angry but at the same time perhaps a storm of rage was brewing underneath his skin!

Wendy was very careful when she sucked up to him, afraid that he would suddenly get angry.

“Hunter, shall I ask the chef to make you…”

“There’s no other dishes here.” Emily smiled forcefully while saying this.

She looked at the two of them and said faintly, “If you don’t want to eat all of this, why not you…”

Hunter suddenly struck his chopsticks into the pot and grasped a piece of meat. He instantly sent it into his mouth.

“It is too hot!” Emily wanted to stop him but it was too late.
