Chapter 284

He reached out and took the bowl from the plate.

“This is…” Sharon pondered as she looked at him in astonishment.

Is he going to pour the soup out? Even if he despises me, there is no need to be so obvious, she thought in disbelief.

Sharon was lost in thought but saw Edwin lower his head and start drinking the soup after taking the bow!

She silently gasped, ‘He is actually drinking the soup | made?‘

Edwin’s action was as shocking to Sharon as a meteor hitting the earth.

This is so strange, she pondered in awe.

“It tastes delicious. Edwin commented.

Sharon was brought back to reality only when Maisie’s figure blocked her view. Seeing Maisie smile at her, she also smiled and said, “If you like you can have more.”

“No, thank you. I need to lose weight, Maisie said as the twisted her slender waist. However, her eyes were fixed on Edwin, who was drinking the soup not far away.

Edwin did not notice Maisie’s gaze as his attention was fully focused on the bowl of soup in front of him.

The milky white fish chowder was smooth and refreshing, tender with a hint of sweetness, and not fishy at all.

There were no oil or seasonings, which did not affect the taste but rather enhanced the original fresh flavour,

Edwin thought, “So. Sharon’s cooking skills were actually this good

ོ

Ariella walked over, draping an arm over Sharon’s shoulder and said, “You are a jack–of–all–trades. Unlike me, apart from singing a few songs and acting in some dramas, I cannot do anything els

In her beautiful eyes was genuine admiration.

Sharon smiled modestly in response, I was not much different from you before. My dad raised me without letting me lift a finger. I could not even cook rice, let alone make fish chowder. If it were not for

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly stopped,

Ariella looked at her curiously, not understanding why she stopped speaking.

Meanwhile, Edwin slowly focused on her words, his lips pressing tightly together,

Having heard so much, he could largely guess that she had learned her cooking skills after joining the Stanley family.

Back then, he had developed a dislike for her, so he had never paid attention to her interests or talents. But in his memory, she seemed to spend most of her time in the kitchen.

At that time, it was taken for

or granted that she was very skilled.

“That’s right, which scheming woman would not try to keep a man through her culinary skills? Edwin pondered

“So, you must have suffered a lot while trying to pick up cooking. Ariella commented. Although Sharon did not specify, Ariella still realized it.

Sharon smiled in response.

When a girl in her twenties who has no culinary skills married into another family, the first layer of suffering came from Jasmine’s disdain. Jasmine treated this as her fault, nagging her countless times every day and accusing her of not learning to serve wealthy people properly despite her ambition to marry into a rich family.

In Jasmine’s eyes, her marriage to the Stanley family was solely to climb up the social ladder. As such, she did not deserve to enjoy a good life and should only serve diem.

Rather than saying Edwin married a wife, it would be more accurate to say the Stanley family got a free maid.

Chapter 284

Sharon began to learn to cook fiercely to stop Jasmine’s persistent nagging and hoping as people suggested she tried to use her culinary skills to win Edwin’s attention

But no matter how hard she worked, the early stages were always painful.

Many difficulties arose along the way.

She

e constantly burned herself–on her hands, body, and even her face–leaving her with frequent wounds.

This ordeal persisted for a whole year before showing slight improvement.

Sharon excelled in other areas but proved clumsy when it came to

a cooking

Consequently, it took her a long time to prepare a decent meal.

The past seemed as inconsequential as smoke. Now that she thought about it, it was not worth mentioning.

“How could it be difficult! Cooking for someone you care about should be nothing but sweetness, Maiste remarked.

Although Maisie’s words were directed at Sharon and Ariella, her eyes remained fixed on Edwin.

Tabsolutely adore cooking, and everything I make is simply top–notch Maisie added.

Maisie’s self–praise gammered no response from Anella, who turned away despite the cameras focusing on her.

Sharon paused, taken aback by Ariella’s indifference toward Maisie

With cameras rolling, Sharon felt compelled to continue the conversation so that Ariella would not appear cold on screen. As such, she replied, “Cooking has never been my forte. I hardly set foot in the kitchen for over twenty years.”

Meanwhile, Edwin’s hand trembled as his mind raced at her words, ‘During her time with the Stanley family, was she forcing herself into something she disliked?

“Her words seem to confirm she truly cared for me when she married into the family. Was it love at first sight or a fleeting encounter!

Edwin’s mind spun, and he found himself striding quickly toward Sharon.

Sharon was about to turn around when a tall figure suddenly appeared before her. She paused and saw Edwin.

“Mr. Stanley, would you like some more?” she asked cheerfully, glancing at his bowl

Edwin remained silent as his gaze fixed intently on her.

His sudden action and intense stare caught the cameraman’s attention, who immediately aimed the lens at them.

Confused by his sudden gaze, Sharon felt like she was falling into the depths of a vast ocean through his deep, dark pupils–deep and unfathomable.

She could barely see anything clearly.

She took the bowl and said, “Let me fill it for you.

However, Edwin did not release his grip.

As both their hands rested on the bowl, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Sharon looked at him perplexed, calling out, “Mr. Stanley?”

Sensing something amiss, the cameraman grinned as he focused even more intently on them.

The morning sernes would be broadcast live, and the cameraman was equipped for streaming.

One viewer commented, (What’s Edwin implying? Could he be interested in Foxy Damon!]

Another asked, Han’t be with Tilda‘]

Athird person noted, That ended a while ago. Now it’s someone named Talia |

Another viewer quipped. [He is quite the player]

A fifth viewer observed, [He seemed indifferent to the two Gills but acted differently towards Foxy Damon

Someone else agreed: The way he looks at Foxy Damon is peculiar; it’s like how my boyfriend gazes at me.Į

Another viewer chimed in. Is it love–struck eyes‘]

Sharon’s scalp tingled, though she couldn’t see the livestream comments.

F

These clips will be broadcast. Misunderstandings could be hard to explain, she thought, withdrawing her hand.

Suddenly, Edwin reached out and grasped her wrist.

Edwin Stanley suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

“Ow! Just as he was about to grasp her wrist, a voice interrupted them.

Immediately, Talia ran over with tears in her eyes as she held her burnt hand and cried, “I burnt myself! It hurts so much.”

Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke

Stepping between Edwin and Sharon, she pushed their hands apart.

This small act spared Sharon, who secretly sighed in relief.

Noticing Sharon’s relief. Edwin’s expression soured deeply, his brows furrowing

He thought, Does she despise my touch now?’

“It hurts so much, Talia cried pitifully before him

Edwin stiffly withdrew his gaze and focused on Taba’s burnt hand.

By then, Talia has already taken the initiative to place her burnt hand in his palm

Unaware of Edwin’s turmoil, Sharon stood aside, assuming his concern was for Talia, and she silently sighed.

She mused, ‘It’s so obvious who he likes and dislikes

He is so concerned for Talia when she only scalded her hand.

“When I cooked for him, my hands were always burnt, yet he never noticed

As Sharon walked away, thoughts of Talia and Edwin’s relationship crossed her mind.

She pondered. ‘How did an introverted girl like Talia get together with Edwin?”

Lost in her thoughts, Sharon walked away when suddenly a figure blocked her path.
