Chapter 107: The Meat Isn't Well Cooked, Too Much Salt
"The reason Brayden said it was your husband who paid so he could was to embarrass Donovan for not paying for his wife. As a result, your wicked husband caught him and plotted to harm him. Even if Mr. Perez Senior did might have done something when he was young, but Donovan is now using it now to threaten his current rival. Isn't this open andHow is this aboveboard? Brayden knows nothingdoesn’t know anything about it! Donovan’s makingde Mr. Perez Senior sit in prison for twenty years, what can Brayden do? Are you saying he should jJust do nothing? Brayden has been locked up at home for several days without eating or drinking! Send him a WhatsApp message and persuade talk to him a bit! You started the fire, so put it out yourself!" After finishing, Jacob left.
The reason Jacob acted was trying to be as a mediator for Brayden was simply to letso Chloe and Brayden could be together. He wanted to bask even more in Brayden's glory. Donovan wais so stingy, and besides, Karen wouldill only stop clinging to Brayden if he wais with Chloe.
Although Karen may appeared to be promiscuous, she was had still been a virgin when she was with Jacob, which shocked him. Virgins weare rare these days.
For the first time, Chloe felt that her brother's words made some sense.
Chloe was probably a bit afraid of Donovan because of this. He reacted quickly and could quickly identify subtle connections between thing tos, and then make quick decisions.
Chloe stirred theher coffee in her hand.
The books and notebooks, Brayden haddidn't taken themaway t he books and notebooks.away, Tthey werhad beene left there.
When Chloe took picked them up,and a small note fell out of the book.: "Chloe, I always felt ashamed to see you. The books and notebooks are innocent and will be helpful to your future. Take them."
Chloe chuckled. Brayden probably felt embarrassed that Chloe saw had seen him kneeling in front of Donovan.
But it wasn't his fault, after all, he was very filial.
She sent Brayden a WhatsApp message: [Mr. Perez, don't worry about it. I received the books and notebooks.]
Chloe put the books and notebooks into her bag and made sure to hide them when she went home this time.
Before Donovan arrived at the company in the morning, Paisley called him and told him that today was her her father's death anniversary.
Donovan had almost forgotten about it.
"Where are you? Shall I pick you up?" Donovan frowned slightly.
"I'm with my mom at the entrance of the neighborhood. We thought you would come to pick me up, but..." Paisley started crying, "You never called me, did you forget?"
"How could I forget? I'll come right away." Donovan's car turned around and headed towards the Shengshi JN Community.
Sure enough, Lori Ramirez and Paisley were both standing there with , sadness in their eyes.
Paisley got in the passenger seat and Lori Ramirez sat in the back.
Donovan's car drove towards Pearl Peak City.
When Paisley got in the car, she saw a tote bag on the front passenger seat. Inside the tote bag, she saw a lunch box.
She placed it in front of her.
Chloe had posted a WeChat Momenton social media yesterday, showing off her packed lunch. Donovan had even commented on it!
INow it seemeds that Chloe had not only made bento packed lunch for herself. She had, but also made one for Donovan.
Most importantly, Donovan had actually carried taken the bento lunchbox made by another woman had made for him! Are Were they really that affectionate?
Thatis made Paisley feel a great sense of crisis.
SAt this moment, she pretended to wipe her some tears away and sobbed, "Dad has been gone for six years, but fortunately, he didn't completely leave us completely. He's still alive in another way. How could you forget, Donovan?"
"I didn't forget." Donovan said, furrowing his brow slightly.
When Paisley's father had left many years ago, he said that although he was not well, he must had to bring light to those invisible people. After speaking, Lori Ramirez lowered her head and sobbed, "You and Paisley were so good back then. I thought you would be my preferred son-in-law, but unfortunately..."
"Mom, Donovan is already married, Mom. Why are you saying thatese things?" Paisley muttered to Lori Ramirez.
"Enough, go see your father," Lori Ramirez said as she wiped her tears with a tissue and said.
"DMom, do you have any food , Momthere? I haven't eaten since I came back from the set last night. I didn't eat breakfast either because I was waiting for Donovan. I'm so hungry, my stomach is grumbling," Paisley said, holding her stomach. "It hurts a little."
"We’reI'm going to see your father. Who hasWhy would I have the appetite to bring food?" Lori Ramirez scolded Paisley. "We're on the highway now, there's nowhere to buy anything. Going to a rest area to eat would take too long, we don't have time."
"There's food in that tote bag, you eat it first," Donovan said. "It’s probably should still be hot."
When Paisley opened it, and indeed, it was still warm. She thought to herself, '"Chloe is really nice to Donovan, she made so many dishesmuch food and even included abalone soup!'"
"Did your aunt make this? It looks so pretty. I'll take a picture to show my assistant so she can learn to make it too.," Paisley took out her phone and snapped some photos.
"It wasn’t 's not my aunt, it was's Chloe," Donovan said, wrinklinged his eyebrows and said.
"Oh, it was's Chloe. I'm sorry, Donovan, I thought it wasyour aunt made by my auntit.," Paisley pretended to be embarrassed. She didn't say the rest of what she was thinking, but it was already clear: she thought this kind of cooking was allhad been done by hiser aunt.
There were utensils in the lunchbox, and Paisley started eating with big bites. But as soon as she took the first bite of the garlic shoots with pork, she froze.
"What's wrong?" Donovan glanced at Paisley, seeing her pained expression.
"The meat isn't fully cooked, and I think there's too much salt. But it's okay, when you're hungry, you can't be picky about whether the food tastes good or not. It’s good enough just to have Just having something to eat is good enough," Paisley said and continued eating.
Donovan thought to himself, '"Chloe's skills aren't great, is this how she pampers her husband?'"
She did seem really hungry though, as she finished all of Donovan's food, including the congee, without leaving any for him.
"Sorry, Donovan. I finished all ofall your food. I'll repay you another day," Paisley wiped her mouth.
Chloe's cooking is indeedwas good. This garlic shoots with pork dish was delicious, but she had deliberately said it was terrible. Anyway, Paisley had already eaten it all, and Donovan wouldn't be able to taste it.
"It was's just one meal, it's not a big deal," Donovan said.
"One meal of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring of gratitude. By the way, weren't you and Chloe commuting together before? Where is she? Shouldn't she be accompanying with you as well?" Paisley inquired curiously.
"She doesn't know about this," Donovan replied.
"Is that so?" Paisley turned and exchanged a glance with Lori Ramirez. Since they both didn't know, it seemed like an easy solution. "Where did she go?"
"She said she went to visit her classmate," Donovan said.
"She went to visit Visiting a classmate?" Paisley rolled her eyes.
At eleven o'clock, Donovan's car arrived atin Pearl Peak City.
In front of Paisley's father's grave, Donovan stated that he had been doing his best to take care of Paisley and her mother during these years. He hadn’t let him down., not letting down the expectations she had for him.
"Papa, Donovan has been taking good care of us, although he got married and didn't fulfill your wish," Paisley said.
