Chapter 673: 673: Feeling Daniel Marshall's Temperature

Seeing Olivia Jenkins coming home, Auntie Jane was delighted, her face lit up with joy.

“Miss Jenkins, we’re glad you’re back. Sir has asked me to prepare a few of your favorite dishes, and I’ve also made a soup with Cordyceps and chicken to boost your health.”

Olivia’s lips curved slightly into an ambiguous smile. “Auntie Jane, I’ll come down to help as soon as I’ve unpacked.”

“No need, no need. Just unpack and then you can come down and dine with the master.”

Olivia nodded slightly, then went upstairs.

Nothing in their master bedroom had changed. Olivia opened her suitcase and began hanging up her clothes.

Suddenly, she found herself enveloped in a warm embrace, feeling the body heat from Daniel Marshall.

“Honey, I’ve missed you so much. Welcome home!”

“I know. Now let me go, I need to hang my clothes. Then we can go downstairs for dinner.”

Daniel still clung tight to Olivia, greedily breathing in her alluring scent.

Even in the absence of Olivia, her unique fragrance lingered in his heart.

Even if he closed his eyes, he would still think of her.

“Honey, let me hold you a bit longer. It’s only when you’re in my arms that I feel everything is real.”

Olivia turned around with a faint smile on her lips. Looking up at Daniel, she embraced him right back.

He had bravely taken the first step today, and that was something to be encouraged.

Hopefully, in three months’ time, he could overcome the shadows in his heart.

…

After setting up her clothes, Daniel helped Olivia downstairs.

Auntie Jane had already served the dishes, and the aroma of food filled the dining room.

“Master, Madam, dinner is ready.”

Seeing Auntie Jane stepping aside, Olivia extended an invitation: “Auntie Jane, please join us. We can’t finish all these dishes by ourselves.”

Auntie Jane looked surprised, her eyes wide. “Miss Jenkins, no need, I’ll eat later.”

Immediately, Daniel echoed Olivia, “Auntie Jane, please do as Miss Jenkins suggests and join us for dinner.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Auntie Jane nodded, went into the kitchen for her cutlery, then sat down.

Olivian poured soup for Auntie Jane, and also served her some dishes. “It’s okay, no need for formalities.”

Auntie Jane looked at Olivia with gratitude on her face, “Thank you Miss Jenkins!”

Olivia beamed a smile at her, “Please eat.”

“All right!” The warm atmosphere touched Auntie Jane, filling her with appreciation and satisfaction.

Olivia would feed pieces of fish to Daniel while he would peel the shrimp for her.

As Olivia ate the shrimp, she would also feed some to Daniel.

The harmonious scene at the dinner table made it seem like their relationship had returned to their past. They had stopped their sharp exchanges and their silent cold wars, and Auntie Jane was happy for them.

…

After picking up Jay Bennett, Benjamin Johnson treated her to mutton.

Johnson first poured Bennett a bowl of soup and showed her how to dip the mutton in sauce before eating.

“The mutton has been stewed so that it falls off the bone naturally. You don’t have to worry about biting into it or getting meat stuck between your teeth. The white parts with tiny dots are the sheep’s tripe, which is also very tasty. With the weather cooling down, it’s especially good to have mutton.”

Nodding her agreement, Bennett followed Johnson’s example and ate her first piece of mutton rib.

Immediately, Bennett gave a firm nod, “It’s really delicious!”

“You always eat salads, and I worry about you becoming malnourished. While keeping in shape, you should also have some meat for a balanced diet.”

“I’ll leave the stage in three years and do something else. By then, I plan to indulge in my food fantasies.”

Johnson lightly raised an eyebrow, the corners of his lips curling into a pleasant curve. “I see… I’ll invite you on a journey then, to taste the world’s flavors.”
