The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
Chatper 1891
After dinner, Yasmine and Serana tidied up the dining area.
“Cleaning up” was a generous term, considering Serana was doing most of the
work.
Yasmine, who had grown up in an orphanage, may not have had the easiest
childhood, but she was never required to do chores like cooking, laundering, or
chopping wood. Once she left the orphanage, such tasks were even further from
her reality. Her hands were soft and beautiful, with slender, pale fingers.
Standing beside Serana at the sink, the most Yasmine would do was to wipe
down the already clean dishes. And she had this air about her, as if she had
done some monumental task that deserved high praise.
Enter title…
Serana wasn’t much of a talker. It seemed ever since Yasmine started dating
Boyd, Serana had become even quieter. The time they spent washing dishes
was particularly tough for her. The moment the last plate was dried, she let out a
sigh of relief and quickly said, “There’s nothing left to do now, Yasmine. You
should get on with your evening.”
Yasmine rinsed her hands under the faucet and watched Serana put away the
dishes. “I’ve always meant to say, you have a real knack for cooking and
cleaning,” she said.d2
Serana paused for a moment, then smiled at her. “I’m just curious about these
things, so I tend to pay more attention. Boyd isn’t too keen on eating out. If you
have the time, I could teach you a few of his favorite dishes.”
Yasmine chuckled and shook her head. “No time for that.”
After putting away the utensils, Serana turned and gave her a strained smile.
“They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I’m sure Boyd would
be delighted if you cooked for him.”
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach?” Yasmine smirked, looking at
her. “Is that what you thought back then?”
Serana’s smile froze instantly. Her eyes locked with Yasmine’s for a few
seconds before she forced herself to look away, her grip tightening on the edge
of the countertop. “It seems like you’ve misunderstood something about us,”
Serana said softly.
Yasmine observed her for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. “Why so
tense? Who did I misunderstand you with?” she teased.
Serana bit her lip, replying quietly, “Nothing…”
Noticing Serana’s trembling hand on the counter, Yasmine’s eyes sharpened.
“Thank you for the meal,” she said.
Serana didn’t reply, only managing a stiff smile.
Yasmine left the kitchen, thinking Serana’s smile was more unsettling than
comforting.
Boyd was lounging on the sofa, perusing the stack of books she’d brought over,
exuding a mature, reserved charm that struck a chord with her. She approached
and held out her hand. Puzzled, he took her hand and kissed it lightly.
Yasmine looked at him with faint disgust. “I wanted you to smell it, not kiss it.”
“It smells nice,” he said.
“I just washed dishes. So you like the scent of dish soap?”
Boyd pulled her down beside him, his brow furrowing with suspicion. “You?
Washing dishes?”
Yasmine pressed her lips together tighter, withdrawing her hand. “I did half the
work.”
Boyd chuckled and reached into the drawer under the coffee table, pulling out a
tube of hand cream. He squeezed a generous amount onto Yasmine’s hands
and began to massage it in.
The faint scent of flowers filled the air. Once her hands were soft and
