The Lost Heiress 280

Chapter 280 No One’s Innocent

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?”

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.
