Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 350

Chapter 349

Yannis held his phone with cool detachment, acutely aware of the three pairs of eyes fixed on him. As he watched the video that had just arrived, a faint smile flickered across his usually impassive face. It instantly dissolved the room’s tense atmosphere.

Layla sat across from Yannis. She was in a crisp white suit. Her refined, capable look was unmistakable. Noticing a rare smile on Yannis’s face, she asked, “Yannis, have you got a crush on someone?”

“No,” Yannis replied, turning off his phone. The gloom in his eyes was slowly fading.

Devin, in his black suit, gave Yannis a steady, admiring look and said, “Dad says you’ve learned to cook. When do I get a chance to try your food?”

As he spoke, he slid a plate of freshly made creamy mushrooms in front of Yannis. It was Yannis’s favorite dish since childhood.

Devin thought, ‘Dad went to see Yannis without even telling me and Layla, so neither of us got to try any of Yannis’s cooking. Dad won’t stop bragging about it every day since he got back!

Yannis glanced around the table, nothing but cold vegetarian dishes. The only exception was the plate of creamy mushrooms set before him, a privilege he’d enjoyed for over a decade.

“We’ll see,” Yannis said flatly.

Devin let a gentle smile warm his usually reserved eyes at Yannis’s words. He thought, ‘That means there is still hope we might one day taste his cooking‘

Layla said, “Yannis, those snacks you sent Dad, I liked them too. Maybe you could send some to me as well?”

Layla couldn’t help but notice how much Yannis had changed since returning from abroad, and it pained her heart. Her eyes, usually sharp and unyielding to outsiders, softened whenever she looked at Yannis.

The other day, when Layla got home, she saw James and Victor grinning in the living room as people kept coming and going, delivering snacks. After she learned that those snacks were sent by Yannis, she felt jealous.

Before returning to Perkins Manor that day, Layla and Devin had already agreed on a plan: Layla would ask Yannis for snacks, while Devin would invite Yannis to share a meal.

Although Yannis had been back for quite some time, today was the first time they were having a meal with him. Yannis had avoided them on every other occasion.
