lan moved to help out. He asked, “Are you really cooking for yourself these days?”

“Yeah,” Rebecca replied.

Rebecca cut him off without missing a beat, her hands moving with confidence. She said, “No need. It’s a great chance for me to learn.”

Ian snatched the knife out of her hand and said, “I got this.”

Rebecca protested, “Hey, I’m supposed to treat you. What are you doing?”

“I’m just afraid your cooking might kill me,” Ian shot back, the familiar banter flaring up between him, Rebecca, and Jessica. He said, “For the sake of my own survival, it’s safer if I handle this.”

Rebecca rolled her eyes and shot back, “As if your cooking’s any less deadly.”

Ian raised his brows with a smug grin and said, “Guess what? I am actually a certified chef.”

Rebecca honestly hadn’t believed Ian at all, but as he plated dish after dish, each one looking so good it made her mouth water, her doubts disappeared in an instant.

Rebecca picked up her fork and took a small bite. Then, her eyes went wide with surprise, unable to hide just how shocked she was.

Jan was notoriously picky when it came to food, and whenever he gave something his stamp of approval, Rebecca and Jessica never failed to agree.

He had seriously put in the work to master his cooking, hoping that one day he could capture Rebecca’s heart through her stomach.

Rebecca flashed him a thumbs–up and said, “Not bad.”

Ian’s grin just got smugger, looking completely self–satisfied.

Rebecca started setting the table, grabbing two sets of plates and utensils. Just as she was about to dig in,
