The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1280

"Mmm."

Kenneth nodded, his movements deft as he plated the sizzling dish onto the table.

Seeing the feast before him, Lane couldn't help but be impressed, "Man, you've got skills that could put professional chefs to shame! Had I not asked earlier, I'd have thought you were slinging hash in some diner."

It's not that he was inexperienced or anything; it's just been ages since he had the pleasure of enjoying such freshly made, home-cooked meals!

"Used to the cuisine overseas, I had to fend for myself in the kitchen."

"You worked abroad?" Lane's interest piqued.

Kenneth merely nodded.

But that was all he offered, maintaining his usual stoic demeanor.

Lane studied him for a moment before speaking up, "You know, I get the feeling... you're not much for talking because you fear saying too much might lead to mistakes?"

Ever since Kenneth arrived, Lane had tried to learn more about him, whether through indirect questioning or direct inquiries. Yet, after all this time, he hadn't managed to uncover much!

Except for the fact that Kenneth's limp was the result of an incident involving Everett.

As Kenneth set the utensils before Lane and took a seat, he slightly curled his thin lips, "I've always been like this. Ever since the injury to my leg, I've become even more reserved. All I have left is resentment."

"It's just a leg—"

Lane blurted this out without thinking.

And immediately, he witnessed Kenneth's expression darken.

"Just a leg?"

"..."
