Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 113

Chapter 113

After getting an earful from Edgar on the phone, Briar totally lost her mood for eating out.

So, they just decided to head home and whip something up themselves.

Briar was only good with needles, not with cooking, so dinner duty definitely wasn’t falling on her.

As for Ashton, who was spoiled since childhood, no one even dreamed he’d set foot in the kitchen.

So Ashton just waved his hand and had a five–star hotel chef brought straight to Moonspring Estate.

By the time they got home, the mouthwatering smell of food was already wafting out from the dining room.

As soon as Briar caught a whiff of that spicy, savory scent in the air, her frown instantly melted away. “That’s the smell of fried fish.”

Ashton nodded, motioning for her to go ahead. “Yeah, smells great. Go take a look.”

Briar slipped on her slippers and practically bounced off to the dining room. His bad mood had vanished. Even the swing of her ponytail

looked extra cheerful.

Ashton, hands in his pockets, sauntered after her at a leisurely pace, looking just as pleased.

Brandon Woodward, trailing behind them, couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Brandon thought to himself, ‘Mr. Wade, you really know how to put on a show. This kind of move is old–school, but you sure know how to

make it work.

‘You totally know what Miss Jennings likes and even told me to make sure to get a chef who specializes in her favorite food, but now you’re pretending like it was all a coincidence.

‘Good thing Miss Jennings is too busy drooling over the food right now, or else your little scheme wouldn’t fool her for a second.‘

Ashton caught Brandon’s disdainful look, raised an eyebrow, and let out a quiet scoff.

‘Sure, it’s a cliché trick, but as long as it works, that’s all that matters,’ Ashton thought.

Just as expected, Ashton managed to cheer Briar right up with a single dinner. She was all smiles again in no time.

Once she had all that amazing food in front of her, Briar couldn’t care less about that loser Edgar.

After they’d both stuffed themselves, Ashton watched Briar as she poked at her dessert while scrolling through her phone.

He casually asked, “Briar, do you have any plans for tomorrow? It’s Sunday.”

Briar shook her head. “No idea. Maybe just stay home and sleep.”
