Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Broken Connection

Seeing the reflection on the old Mr. Bennett’s face, Elliana Lyle felt an indescribable pain for some reason.

Elliana’s silence didn’t slip past the old man, who chuckled, "Norman, this child, might not be good with words but he’s earnest. If you truly love each other, hold on tight and don’t let it slip away."

"Yes, Grandpa, you’re right."

"Haha." The old Mr. Bennett turned around, "Let’s head back, I can smell the food now, it’s probably almost ready."

Back inside the small villa, Elliana was already enveloped by the aroma of food, sparking her appetite. In the dining room, a man donned in a white apron had already set up a large array of dishes.

To be honest, it’s the first time she saw a man like this; she wasn’t even aware that Norman could cook.

Judging by the smell and appearance of the delicately crafted dishes on the table, Norman’s culinary skills were superior, rivaling those of a professional chef.

"Just in time." The old Mr. Bennett sat at the dining table with a laugh, inviting Elliana to sit down.

The man took off his apron, considerately pulled out a chair for her, and sat next to her.

Once the old man began eating, Elliana couldn’t wait to grab a piece of steamed grouper, which was one of her favorite light dishes.

As soon as it entered her mouth, the taste of fresh, tender fish filled her palate, providing a delightful taste experience.

While eating, the always warm old Mr. Bennett didn’t say a word.

After the meal, when Elliana offered to help Norman clean up the dishes, the old Mr. Bennett stopped her, saying, "Girls have delicate hands, why join this commotion? Come, keep Grandpa company and chat with me."

Elliana chuckled in agreement and didn’t insist on helping. Although the old Mr. Bennett was easygoing, he cared a lot about etiquette in every aspect.

Once Norman finished cleaning the kitchen, the old Mr. Bennett cheerfully asked, "It’s dark outside, why not stay the night here?"

Norman held her hand and respectfully said to the old Mr. Bennett, "No, Grandpa, I have a meeting tonight."

"Alright then, I won’t keep you. But," he advised Norman, "no matter how busy work gets, always make some time for yourself. Delegate what you can to others."
