Diana kept trying to find reasons to comfort herself. She knew deep down that Uncle Connor's feelings for her weren't romantic. But she couldn't help but wonder if it was because she hadn't confessed her feelings. Maybe they just hadn't broken through that invisible barrier yet. Diana wasn't sure if Uncle Connor cared about her.

Diana and Barrett's cooking station was right next to Chloe's, so they could see each other's every move. Diana didn't push Barrett away. Instead, she surprised herself by smiling at him. "Mr. Barrett, I'd love some sweet pork. Can you make it?" Sweet pork was her favorite, and Connor knew it well. Back when he was still in Eldridge City, he often took her to a famous restaurant that made the best cherry-glazed pork. It was one of their cherished memories.

Diana glanced at Connor. Sure enough, he was watching them, his brows slightly furrowed, eyes dark, and clearly unhappy. Seeing his reaction, Diana felt a bit better. Uncle Connor did still care about her. Like a child who had tasted something sweet, she picked up an apron and offered, "Mr. Barrett, let me tie the apron for you."

Barrett saw right through Diana's intentions but was happy to play along. Connor frowned for a bit longer before finally turning away. Chloe, on the other hand, was staring at a pile of ingredients, looking completely lost. She had always been quick to learn new things, but cooking was never one of her interests. She had barely set foot in a kitchen. Once, at Greenpeace Estate, she had a sudden urge to cook herself some noodles and nearly burned down the kitchen. Since then, she had stayed far away from cooking.

Connor walked over to Chloe and asked casually, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Chloe glanced at him and said, "Surf and Turf, can you make that?" Connor's expression remained calm as he replied, "Let's go with that."

Chloe was astonished. Even though she didn't know how to make Surf and Turf, she knew it was a complicated dish. Was Connor really going to make it?
