Chapter 500: Chapter 501

Chapter 501 Thea and Thorne entered the kitchen, and Thea handed the vegetables and peeler to Thorne, “Theodore, can you peel?”

Thorne hadn’t had a chance to answer her when Thea muttered to herself, “You’ve never done any housework, how could you do these rough tasks? Oh well, I’ll just do it myself.”

Thorne couldn’t help but laugh and handed you the peeled potatoes.

Thea was stunned, “So fast?”

Thorne’s voice flowed like a spring, gentle and soft, as he said, “I had seriously studied culinary arts.”

Thea was surprised, “Why did you think of learning it?”

Thorne weakly smiled and said, “Because I wanted to cook for the girl I loved.”

Thea couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.

She suddenly remembered Theo, who had also said this sentence. Moreover, he followed through with it very well, always learning to cook various delicacies for her.

Can someone like Thorne, who is fresh and content, also have a beloved girl?

“Thea, do you know who she is?” Thea playfully said, “Since you like her so much, Thea will help you propose to her.”

Thorne’s face slightly darkened, with a hint of sadness, as he said, “She is a good girl, unlike me, who is so boring. Perhaps being with me, she cannot find happiness. I better not disturb her anymore.”

A strange emotion flashed through Thea’s mind.

She couldn’t capture the emotion, whether it was sadness, joy, or confusion. However, she inexplicably felt that Thorne’s reasons were too far–fetched and forced.

“Thea said, ‘If you like someone, you should be brave to pursue her.””

Thorne was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.

He asked Thea in return, “Who could be so lucky as to make the introverted and shy Thea brave enough to pursue someone?”

Thea’s ears turned slightly red, and she secretly thought, wasn’t she the one who was actively pursuing this person in front of her?

Thorne saw her blushing face and knew that there was someone in her heart. But that person was not him. It wasn’t him.

A sense of melancholy swept over me.

“Thea, the kitchen is filled with heavy smoke. Please go outside. I will cook the food,” Thorne said, feeling the suffocating atmosphere. His mind was in chaos and he desperately needed some time alone to calm down.

Thea suddenly lifted her head, with a hint of grievance in her Chapter 501 eyes.

Every time, she would always try to express her feelings to him, but he would always find excuses to avoid her.

“Theodore, loving someone is a matter of the heart, beyond one’s control.”

“Would you blame me?”

A light and ethereal voice, tinged with a hint of sorrow and sadness, reached Thorne’s ears.

Thorne’s heart, which had just been immersed in sorrow, was instantly filled with joy. So, Thea’s crush is him?

His eyes shot a look of astonishment as he stared fixedly at Thea.

Why didn’t he feel any of her brave pursuit in her words?

Tears shimmered in Thea’s eyes, filled with frustration.

Thorne’s heart skipped a beat, and every cell in his body went weak. He just wanted to rush over and embrace Thea, disregarding everything else. He wanted to tell her that he didn’t blame her for loving him, he was overjoyed.

But his steps were as heavy as lead, and he didn’t take a single step in the end.

“Thea, do you think I would blame you?” Thorne didn’t understand, he had almost laid his heart and soul before her, how could she think he would be willing to get angry with her?

He could only avoid her because of this broken body. If he got O Chapter 501 too close to her, he was afraid that his full of affection would be revealed and she would discover his secret.

With red eyes, Thea turned around and left desolately.

She had confessed her feelings so clearly, but Thorne ultimately did not give her an answer.

Thorne stared blankly at Thea’s figure, her figure was too desolate, too lonely. Thorne couldn’t help but sprinkle a spoonful of sugar into the pot.

Living room.

William and Robert were still playing chess, and the two of them battled for several rounds without a clear winner.

William saw Thea come out and immediately stopped playing chess. He asked Thea in confusion, “Jade, weren’t you busy in the kitchen? After coming out like this, you left Thorne alone in there. He has difficulty walking, how can he be efficient in his work?

What kind of image does this present?”

Robert was dissatisfied with William, “Look at how you are as a father! Jade is a girl, girls are delicate. Is the kitchen where she should be? Don’t you think about raising this little princess to be a tough cook?”

William crossed his arms and said, “Robert, I didn’t know you were so despicable. Don’t I know how to take care of my own daughter? Do I need you here pretending to care about my daughter? You’re trying to sow discord between us, you.... you...

you’re just too despicable.”

Robert chuckled mischievously, “Jade is your daughter, but she’s also my niece, you know. You also know that I, Robert, Chapter 501 have never been married in my life and have no descendants of my own. It’s quite regrettable. You and I, William, are like brothers, so isn’t your daughter like my own daughter?”

William clucked his tongue.

Robert flattered again, “William, you are so clever. My niece. must have inherited your brilliant mind and is also exceptionally beautiful. As for me, I have a humble request. I would like to adopt Jade as my goddaughter. What do you think?”

William jumped up in excitement, pointing at Robert, trembling with anger, “Robert, I considered you as my brother, and yet you want to steal my daughter? You are so treacherous!”

Robert said, “Oh, what are you so excited about? At least I, Robert, own the Miller Group, which is much wealthier than your Fletcher Group. As long as you give your niece to me as my goddaughter, then a hundred years later, she will also have a share in the Miller Group.”

William’s eyes turned red as he said, “Go away! Just because of your words, I will work hard and earn money in the future. One day, I will defeat you, the Miller Group. I want my Jade to lie down and count money every day.”

Robert laughed heartily, “William, you are still the same as when you were young, impulsive and competitive.”

Thea found it quite amusing to watch two old men in their fifties arguing, but she paid no attention to them. Instead, she sat alone on the side, lost in her own thoughts.

Not long after, the kitchen door opened.

64 365 Thorne sat in his wheelchair, holding the tray of dishes with one hand, looking as cold and ruthless as a killer. The dishes. on the tray seemed to be knives gleaming with cold light.

Thea quickly got up and rushed forward.

He took the tray from his hand and placed it on the dining table.

She was shuttling back and forth in the kitchen, and soon the dining table was filled with food.

William was stunned, “Thorne, I didn’t expect you to be such a good cook!”

Thorne looked at Thea, his eyes filled with tenderness.

William pulled Robert to sit down and picked up the chopsticks, only to realize that there were seemingly not many dishes on the table that he loved to eat.

“How come I have never seen these dishes before?”

William picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and frowned, “These braised pork ribs look so delicious, but I couldn’t eat them.”

Thea pushed Thorne’s wheelchair to the dining table and sat down next to him. However, Thorne picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it into Thea’s bowl.

“Since Uncle couldn’t finish it, then you should eat it, Thea.”

Thea was overjoyed, “Great, I love eating ribs the most.”

William glanced at Thorne.

Chapter 501 “You rascal, these ribs of yours were clearly made specifically for Jade to eat.”
