The Lost Heiress 280

Chapter 280 No One’s Innocent

Chase looked like he’d just seen a ghost. “He actually knows how to cook?”

What was even more surprising was that he was willing to cook.

Sierra couldn’t help herself.”Mr. Yaeger’s a great person. It’s just that some people never really bothered to understand him.”

Chase immediately picked up on the jab. He looked her up and down. “You know who I am?”

Sierra looked him straight in the eye.“I only know that if someone makes Mr. Yaeger unhappy, then they don’t deserve to be happy either.”

That caught Chase off guard.

He could see how serious she was. She wasn’t afraid to offend him at all all to defend Johnathan.

Johnathan, now finished washing up, came out of the kitchen just in time to hear that. The corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly, the irritation in his heart easing up.

As he changed his shoes, he said, “The filling’s ready and the dough’s resting. You and Dickson can go ahead and start. I’ll join you to wrap them when I get back.”

Sierra chimed in,“You make them the best. Ours always fall apart.”

Johnathan knew exactly what she was doing – telling him to hurry up.
