Chapter 195: Chapter 195
In this extremely frustrating situation, he walked out of the mall with his head down, opened the car door, and found someone sitting in the back seat.
Angus turned his head and saw Skylar Hughes.
"Skylar Hughes, what are you doing in my car? Get out!"
Seeing Skylar Hughes now irritates him, if it wasn’t for Skylar, would he have lost face ?
His mom was right, Skylar Hughes is just a troublemaker; kicking her out of the Sterling Family was the wisest choice.
Skylar Hughes looked at Angus, still wearing that pitiful look.
"Angus, you said we were friends, is this how you treat your friends?"
But now Angus was not taken in by her pitiful act at all.
Being deceived once is naive, being deceived twice is just plain stupid.
Angus sneered, "Skylar Hughes, before I said those things because I had my head in the clouds and believed you. But now, no matter what you say, I won’t believe a word of it. Get out of my car now!"
Skylar Hughes’ expression stiffened; she didn’t expect Angus to dislike her so thoroughly.
Finally having a stepping stone, why did it collapse so easily?
Without Angus, where would she find another man as gullible as Angus?
Seeing Skylar Hughes still not getting out of the car, Angus threatened, "Not getting out? I’ll call the police!"
Seeing Angus really dial 911, Skylar Hughes took a deep breath, "Don’t call, I’ll get out."
She said, "I thought you’d believe me. Turns out you’re no different from those other men, completely smitten by Paige Sterling. It’s my mistake for trusting you..."
With her saying this, it somehow seemed like she was the victim.
And at this point, Skylar Hughes wiped her tears, stubbornly asking Angus.
"Angus, you like Paige Sterling, don’t you?"
Angus instantly reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Nonsense!"
Skylar Hughes said, "Angus, you don’t have to deny it in front of me. I know you like her."
She said, "Since you like her, why don’t you go for it? Can you just stand by and watch her and Julian Hawthorne together and do nothing?"
Angus said nothing, his face still looking unpleasant.
Skylar Hughes continued, "Angus, honestly, I kind of hope you and Paige Sterling end up together. You two really match well."
After saying that, she got out of the car.
Men need a spark to fight for what they want.
Especially men like Angus, whose mouth is harder than stone, clearly likes but just won’t admit.
Now that she’s pulled back the curtain, she hopes Angus, with his infuriatingly straightforward nature, can cause a bit of trouble for Paige Sterling and Julian Hawthorne.
If she can get them apart, that would naturally be ideal.
Julian Hawthorne only goes into the kitchen when Paige Sterling is hungry. Whether Sonny Chambers and Burt Chambers starve or not the rest of the time isn’t his concern.
So the food Julian Hawthorne makes is delicious, but Sonny Chambers and Burt Chambers have never had it. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
They can only eat soulless meals made by the robot, and every time they see Paige Sterling enjoying Julian Hawthorne’s cooking, they are filled with envy and jealousy.
And today, Julian Hawthorne got home early and bought groceries to cook for Paige Sterling.
But before he started cooking, Paige Sterling came back—with a chicken on a leash.
Anyone who didn’t know might think she was out walking a dog.
Julian Hawthorne raised an eyebrow, "Did you buy it?"
Paige Sterling said, "No, one of the employees’ parents came to the city to see him and insisted on giving me a free-range chicken, so I brought it back."
In the city, it’s rare to find genuine free-range chicken, which was a kind gesture.
Paige Sterling looked at the chicken and said, "I’ll cook and make chicken soup for you."
Julian Hawthorne’s expression turned strange for a moment, "Are you sure you’ll cook personally?"
Compared to Paige Sterling cooking, he missed her instant noodles more.
Paige Sterling nodded, "I know I’m not good at cooking, but it’s just chicken soup, you have to trust me. Such a simple task, I can do it well."
There’s never been something simple in the kitchen for Paige Sterling.
But seeing her so confident, Julian Hawthorne didn’t have the heart to discourage her, so he nodded, "Okay."
The same words Paige Sterling also said to Jared Sullivan, so once the soup was ready, she planned to deliver it to her father.
Paige Sterling felt that letting the robot kill the chicken lacked soul, and refused to let Julian Hawthorne do it, insisting on killing it herself.
Burt Chambers and Sonny Chambers had seen Paige Sterling’s skill in fancy fighting, but hadn’t witnessed her kill a chicken. They sat in the living room, watching Paige Sterling in the kitchen through the glass sliding door, curious about her method.
They saw Paige Sterling fix the chicken onto the cutting board, then with one stroke aimed at the neck, chopped the head right off.
Paige Sterling was quite thorough, knowing there’d be splattering blood, she even had the robot as a shield beside her.
In the end, the robot was splattered all over with blood.
The robot went to clean itself, face full of despair.
The brutal way of killing the chicken left it trembling even in death, and Burt Chambers and Sonny Chambers were shocked, imagining themselves being decapitated by Paige Sterling.
So why did they seek out watching Paige Sterling kill a chicken?
Is it because they don’t have enough homework or their lives aren’t tough enough?
Once Paige Sterling’s chicken was stewed, the entire house was filled with the aroma of chicken soup, and it smelled delicious.
This made Julian Hawthorne have faith in Paige Sterling’s cooking for once.
So when Paige Sterling handed him the steaming bowl of chicken soup, he drank it without thinking...
Under Paige Sterling’s expectant gaze, he finished it with gritted teeth, then told her, "Delicious."
Burt Chambers and Sonny Chambers smelled the aroma and rushed over.
Burt Chambers eagerly said, "I want to taste it too."
Burt Chambers grabbed a bowl and helped himself eagerly, bringing it to his mouth.
As soon as he swallowed, he almost instinctively spat it out.
But Julian Hawthorne swiftly covered his mouth with a towel.
"You know it’s good, you don’t have to say it."
Burt Chambers, "...!?"
Sonny Chambers asked eagerly, "Burt Chambers, how does it taste?"
Burt Chambers stiffly nodded, "Delicious."
Sonny Chambers still had some doubts, but seeing Burt Chambers say so, he placed more trust in Paige Sterling’s cooking.
Well, maybe Paige Sterling’s chicken soup really does taste good?
So, trusting his brother completely, Sonny Chambers also scooped a bowl, happily drinking the chicken soup.
As soon as he drank the first sip, he reacted just like Burt Chambers.
But Julian Hawthorne similarly didn’t give him time to react, covering him with a towel, sweeping over with cold eyes, leaving Sonny Chambers speechless.
After a while, Sonny Chambers, the drama king, gave Paige Sterling a thumbs up.
"Paige! It’s so delicious, I’ve never had such stunning chicken soup!"
Paige Sterling lifted her eyelids to look at him, "Who told you to use idioms like that? No soup for you, go do your homework."
