Rebirth to Be with My Disabled Husband (or The Ninth Bride)

Chapter 266 Cook Yourself If You Want to Eat

"At times," Samantha admitted with a touch of admiration, "I have to say, you're good to your sister."

Elias raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "What? Are you jealous?"

"Not at all," she replied with a teasing smile, "because Finley treats me even better than you treat your sister."

Samantha finished her apple and, after setting the core aside, made her way to the kitchen. There, she found Finley busily preparing dumplings. She wrapped her arms around him from behind and teased, "So, the delectable meal you promised is just this? Dumplings cooked by Ms. Stuart?"

Finley chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "You wouldn't understand, Sam. Seasoning is an art in itself."

With that, she had no counterargument. She stepped aside, eager to see how her husband's seasoning would enhance the dumplings.

At that moment, Elias walked in, holding a plate of fruit. He approached Finley and asked, "Finley, my sister and I haven't had breakfast yet. Since you're already cooking, could you make a bowl of dumplings for each of us as well?"

Finley's eyes grew cold as he recalled Elias' disparaging remarks about Samantha the night before. "If you want to eat, you'll have to cook it yourself."
