Chapter 190: Chapter 190

The man slightly lifted his phoenix eyes, took a sip of soup, and then replied calmly: "Dealing with the quarterly review issues, same as Cameron lately."

Seeing the woman nodding as if she understood, Elias Sinclair’s lips curved slightly, teasingly asking: "What, did you miss me? Next quarter when handling such things, I’ll let you know in advance."

"Ah no no... no need, I’m just asking." Quinn Lockwood’s face blushed several shades at his words, shaking her head in fluster, while her heart raced relentlessly.

Why did she feel this sounded like the conversation between a married couple where the husband was too busy and ignored his wife, who then somewhat unhappily asked what he was busy with.

Unable to resist shaking her body slightly, Quinn Lockwood quickly chastised herself in her heart.

What was she thinking about all these nonsensical things.

Elias Sinclair saw her , and his smile grew wider, picking up a piece of green bamboo shoot and placing it in Quinn Lockwood’s bowl, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness: "Do you like eating bamboo shoots?"

Quinn Lockwood looked at the bamboo shoot in her bowl, slightly startled, then dumbly nodded.

She never thought the always high-and-mighty Elias Sinclair would actually serve food to others, and a strange feeling crossed her heart. Just as she was about to put the bamboo shoot in her mouth, her phone rang.

Her brow furrowed, and Quinn Lockwood got up wanting to answer Jonah Hansen’s call, but was stopped by Elias Sinclair, who snatched away the phone.

Seeing Jonah Hansen’s name displayed on the screen, the man’s expression instantly turned cold, directly hanging up the call, throwing it aside.

"What’s your relationship with him?" Grabbing the woman’s wrist, Elias Sinclair felt anger rising from the depths of his heart, his gaze becoming more profound.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts." Quinn Lockwood slightly frowned, pursing her lips and looking pitifully at Elias Sinclair, then at her wrist, showing a look that seemed to say he was being fierce.

Elias Sinclair paused internally, then released his grip.

Quinn Lockwood rubbed her wrist and sat back down, picking up the bamboo shoot and putting it in her mouth, chewing as she said: "If it cools down, it really won’t taste good; hurry up and sit down."

Elias Sinclair looked at Quinn Lockwood, a complex emotion flashed through his eyes, then he picked up his suit: "You enjoy your meal slowly." With that, he no longer paid attention to Quinn Lockwood but paced away.

"Eat if you want!" Quinn Lockwood rolled her eyes towards the door direction and served herself a big bowl of shrimp slip soup.

Smacking her lips with appreciation, Quinn Lockwood couldn’t help but express her admiration towards Elias Sinclair: "It’s really delicious."

As soon as Elias Sinclair stepped out, he called Kiven.

"Have someone properly investigate who Jonah Hansen has been in contact with and when they met." With a cold expression, he hung up the phone, his foot instinctively pressing harder on the accelerator.

The next day after breakfast, Quinn Lockwood dressed up a bit and went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.

After selecting a few plump squids in the seafood section, Quinn Lockwood moved to the snack section.

"Ariana, do you eat this chocolate?" A familiar name and voice sounded from the opposite shelf, sparking Quinn Lockwood’s full attention.

Standing on tiptoe to look over the opposite shelf, Quinn Lockwood excitedly waved her hand and called: "Jonah Hansen, Ariana!"

Seeing the two of them looking over, Quinn Lockwood waved again, then pushed the shopping cart and jogged over.

"What a coincidence, Jonah Hansen, it’s been a long time!" Standing in front of them, Quinn Lockwood smiled brightly at Jonah Hansen, her eyes shining as if carrying points of starlight, then she took off her mask, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that fell into Jonah Hansen’s eyes. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel{f}ire.net

Jonah Hansen looked at this breathtakingly beautiful face, stunned and unable to move his gaze away for a long time.

Ariana Lynch saw Quinn Lockwood’s eyes completely fixed on Jonah Hansen, her gaze instantly turned cold.

"Savannah, are you planning to cook?" Jonah Hansen, seeing the ingredients in Quinn Lockwood’s shopping cart, asked in surprise.

Quinn Lockwood nodded vigorously like an excited little girl, her bright, almond-shaped eyes appeared even more lively and cute.

"These are ingredients I’m skilled at handling. Just finished cooking breakfast and realized they weren’t enough at home, so hurried out to buy some."

Unexpectedly, a star like her would personally cook, seeing Quinn Lockwood’s long eyelashes fluttering along with her blinking eyes, and watching her smile so sweetly at him, Jonah Hansen couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his throat.

Really wished he could see this woman don an apron and cook for him.

"Jonah Hansen, try this chocolate; it’s my favorite." Placing a box of beautifully packaged chocolates from her shopping cart into Jonah Hansen’s cart, Quinn Lockwood glanced slightly at Ariana Lynch, then checked her watch anxiously.

"Oh my, I have soup simmering in the pot, so I’m off now; goodbye, Ariana, Jonah Hansen, we’ll meet next time, make sure to eat the chocolate!"

As she turned to leave, Quinn Lockwood’s lips curved slightly, then put on her mask, furrowing her brow slightly, taking out a pack of yogurt-flavored chips from her cart, and then headed to checkout.

Sitting in the car, Quinn Lockwood took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Jonah Hansen.

"Jonah Hansen, that flavor of chips you picked is also Savannah’s favorite."

Locking the phone and tossing it on the passenger seat, Quinn Lockwood’s face instantly turned cold.

Just earlier, she had glimpsed the yogurt-flavored chips in Jonah Hansen’s cart, feeling a wave of disgust.

Jonah Hansen used to buy lots of yogurt-flavored chips, saying they were for her and Ariana Lynch to share. Initially, she thought Jonah Hansen bought them for her and incidentally included ’good friend’ Ariana Lynch’s share. Later, she found out that she was just incidental.

Remembering how she once happily shared chips with Ariana Lynch, while Ariana always wore a mocking smile, anger surged through her heart.

Didn’t expect Quinn Lockwood to be back, did you? Next, prepare for me to peel off your layers one by one.

However, after Quinn Lockwood left, Ariana Lynch started venting at Jonah Hansen, and upon seeing Quinn Lockwood’s message to him, her anger intensified.

"You’re still in contact with that little slut. You truly can’t change your nature! It wasn’t that little slut seducing you. It’s you eagerly offering up opportunities to cling to her!" Ariana Lynch’s voice was sharp and unpleasant.

The proverbial angry wife berating the cheating husband, a scene rarely played out in public, instantly attracted many onlookers.

Jonah Hansen, at this moment, wished the ground would swallow him up, repressed his anger and said: "Don’t be unreasonable, we just exchanged a couple of words."
