Chapter 102 Capture Her Heart by First Capturing Her Appetite
+15 BONUS
After hanging up the phone, Miles began to anticipate his meeting with Roseâs husband tonight. He knew Jonathan too well.
He was used to making independent decisions. If he really put his heart into pursuing Rose, even though she was already married, it wouldnât be an obstacle to him.
He would spare no effort to make anything that annoyed him disappear. However, even so, Roseâs husband could pose some challenges for him.
If he could persuade him to let Jonathan give up, that would be even better. Miles chuckled as he contemplated this.
âPrepare a bouquet of roses and get a pair of the limited edition earrings from the recent Young House of Jewels collection. Iâll be needing them tonight,â he instructed his assistant.
On the other hand, Rose immediately felt regret after hanging up the phone. Inviting Miles to their home might not sit well with her star escort husband.
After some contemplation, she decided to make a test call. She dialed the number, but it indicated that the person was already on another call.
She tried multiple times, but her star escort husband remained engaged in conversation. Just then, Sherlyn came in to report on her work.
Rose quickly set her phone aside, temporarily forgetting about it.
Zenwood Gardens. Jonathan, dressed in an apron, was currently in the kitchen. He looked somewhat defeated. The voice of the head chef from the Finches came through his earphones.
âMr. Finch, donât forget to add salt and pay attention to the cooking time. Finally, add a bit of honey mustard to perfect the dish.â
Jonathanâs face darkened. The contents in the pot had already turned into a charred mess, completely unrecognizable. This was the fifth dish he had burned.
He had followed every step as instructed by the chef. Where had he gone wrong?
In the earphones, the chef continued to praise him earnestly, âMr. Finch, youâve always been able to do anything from a young age. I never thought cooking would be a challenge for you.â
The chef had been delivering the steps through the phone, and Jonathan always replied to him faintly as if everything was wellâcontrolled. After all, it was his first time cooking.
His talents were truly remarkable.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, Jonathan said, âYouâve worked hard; Iâll have Charlie give you a raise.
After that, he promptly ended the call. The kitchen was in shambles as if it had endured a battlefield.
His face grew gloomy as he wondered who had said that to capture someoneâs heart, one first had to capture their appetite.
Thinking of the person who had given him this questionable advice last night, he immediately called Zac.
When Zac answered, he asked excitedly. âHowâs it going? Did my advice work, just as I said it would?â

In their conversation yesterday, Zac had learned about Jonathanâs marriage agreement. He promptly transformed into a love expert, offering advice.
He had told him that to make Rose not terminate the agreement, he had to show her his virtues. For example, solving her problems and more importantly, capturing her heart by first capturing her appetite.
This morning, he had instructed Finley to arrange the applicants to apply for a position at Celeste Jewels.
Planning to prepare a big meal for Rose tonight to win her over, he glanced at his kitchen, which now looked like a battlefield.
With a dark expression, he asked, âAre you sure the methods you suggested are effective and not meant to mess with me?â
âHow could I mess with you?â Zac asked back.
He wouldnât dare to, no matter how many times he was given the chance. Zac originally wanted to ask where the problem might be, he didnât want to press further after sensing his displeasure,
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, âWhat did the little beauty first notice about you?â
Jonathan remembered the night they first met at Nightfall Lounge, where their connection had been almost magical. His dark eyes clouded with a hint of mist.
âMy face,â he replied vaguely.
âTskâ¦
Zac couldnât argue with that. He wanted to encourage him to continue using his looks to win Rose over, but it seemed that he had had an epiphany as he abruptly ended the call.
Jonathan knew that he could use his advantages to win Rose over. As for capturing her appetite, he could work on that later. He removed his apron and headed to the bathroom.
He was planning to present himself in an exceptionally
