Chapter 485 Diverting the Disaster


Everyone else at the dining table was gloating.

Yara enjoyed the scene greatly. With so many fudgy brownies, how could Rose eat them all without getting sick? She was looking forward to enjoying Rose's imminent embarrassment!

After eating too quickly, Rose choked a bit. She was handed a glass of water, and she took it without thinking. As she took a sip to swallow the brownie, a fork reached into the plate of brownies. Rose looked up to see Jonathan eating the brownies, gobbling one piece at a time as if afraid someone would take it from him. While she was in a daze, he had devoured an entire plate. The people at the table, who had been enjoying the show, suddenly had their expressions stiffened.

"Grandma Eleanor..." Yara couldn't help but speak, trying to get Eleanor to stop Jonathan.

But before she could state her purpose, Jonathan looked over and said, "Ms. Maize, do you want some? The fudgy brownies are really good today. They're Grandma's favorite. It'd be a shame if you don't try some." Yara didn't know what to say. She didn't want to help Rose eat them. Besides, she didn't even like fudgy brownies. But Jonathan looked at her expectantly as he continued eating.

He suddenly thought of something and frowned, asking, "By the way, what were you going to tell Grandma?"

In this situation, it'd be too obvious if she said anything to Eleanor.

Yara didn't want to displease Jonathan. "No, nothing much. I saw how much you and Ms. Shaffer were enjoying the brownies, and I just wanted to ask Grandma Eleanor if I could try some too." Yara smiled gently. She thought she could just eat one piece to cover up her lie. But to her surprise, Jonathan instructed Anna, "Anna, Ms. Maize wants to eat some too. Bring all of these to her." Did that mean that Yara had to eat all of them? Anna hesitated for a moment.

Upon seeing Anna hesitate, Jonathan looked at Eleanor. "Grandma, I plan to push the cooperation project in the next month. Do you think there'd be enough time?"

His tone was casual, but how could Eleanor not understand his implied meaning? Both Rose and Jonathan had eaten enough brownies, so that was enough. Eleanor frowned slightly and suddenly smiled. "Yara loves it, so she should eat more."

With Eleanor's word, Anna dared not delay and immediately brought the remaining brownies to Yara. "Ms. Maize, please enjoy."

Enjoy? These were clearly meant for Rose, so how did they end up in front of her?
