Chapter 1412: Chapter 1625

I’ll take Luisa to see the babies.

”

Luisa’s face lit up with joy, and she eagerly followed Lucinda upstairs.

In the living room, the three men exchanged awkward glances.

Cyrus and Sonny were unsure about their cooking abilities.

They could only offer little help.

The atmosphere was a bit embarrassing.

Eventually, Cyrus and Sonny stood by the kitchen doorway and watched Nathan’s skillful cooking.

Nathan’s physique was well-proportioned.

His shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong, muscular arms.

He approached the task with unwavering focus.

After a while, Cyrus sighed in genuine admiration, “My sister has a way with you.

I never imagined you’d become this good in the kitchen.

If the senior executives of the Payne Group saw you cooking, they’d be astounded.

They wouldn’t believe their usually aloof and serious boss is wearing a black apron and preparing a meal at home.

Sonny stifled his laughter and added, “I’m genuinely curious when you honed these cooking skills, Nathan.

They were all men, and they were family.

So Nathan was unfazed by the teasing.

He smiled wistfully and said, “The first meal I cooked for her was burnt spare ribs and excessively salty fried cabbage.

Cyrus looked shocked.

“Did she actually eat it?”

Nathan chuckled.

“She’s quite clever.

Sonny and Cyrus burst into laughter.

Cyrus remarked, “She’s as cunning as Hilliard, full of schemes.

”

Sonny chimed in, “If she wrote a manual on how to turn a man into a good husband, it would probably become a bestseller.

”

The three men shared a hearty laugh, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Men found contentment in simple pleasures.

They bonded over the smallest details of their lives and made friends effortlessly.

When the food was ready, Nathan called for Lucinda and Luisa to join them downstairs.

The five of them enjoyed a tasty meal together.

An hour later, in the early hours of the morning, darkness blanketed the city, and everywhere was still, except for the bustling N&L Fairy Land.

Cyrus drowned his sorrows in alcohol.

He was so drunk.

His eyes were red.

He clung to Nathan’s arm and repeatedly murmured, “Noelle, it’s my fault.

Please forgive me.

Come back…”
