The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2817

"Dinner is ready!" Talian called out as she brought in the last dish, a hearty casserole that filled the hallway with its mouthwatering aroma.

"Mmm, that smells amazing. No restaurant can hold a candle to your cooking," Nolan said as he escorted his grandmother to the dining room.

Tonight, it was a family dinner for the three.

"If you like it so much, Master Nolan, you should come home more often. I'll cook for you every day," Talian offered with a smile as she ladled soup into bowls for the grandparents and didn't forget Nolan either.

"Indeed, you should visit more if you're craving Talian's cooking. She seems to lose her spark when you're not around to appreciate her meals."

Talian chuckled, "The grandparents’ appetites aren't what they used to be, and the missus barely touches her food. It's only you, sir, who can eat a bit more."

"The more you eat, the prouder Talian feels," Grandpa chimed in. "Ah, this stew is rich and flavorful. Nolan, have Talian pack a jar for you to take home. It'll taste just as good warmed up tomorrow morning."

Talian frowned slightly, "If you’d like some tomorrow, Master Nolan, I could just make a fresh batch. It won't taste as nice by then."

"No trouble, Talian. If I want more, I'll just come home," Nolan assured her.
