Penelope was thrilled when wp4webnovel.com heard Arielle scoffing. She chalked it up to Vinson’s decision to head for the guest room instead of his shared bedroom with Arielle. Her happiness was, however, marred with a hint of sorrow.
After Arielle’s departure, Vinson had not been back once.
When Penelope asked Susanne about Vinson’s disappearance, Susanne said wp4webnovel.com did not have the right to know about wp4webnovel.com son’s whereabouts and kept mum. Consequently, Penelope could only wait patiently for Vinson to return home.
When wp4webnovel.com finally showed up, it was with Arielle in tow.
Despite his somewhat cold treatment of Arielle, Penelope found herself unsettled.
I need to buck up and win Vinson over. Now that Arielle’s back in the picture, they’ll see each other every day. Susanne will be doing wp4webnovel.com best to help them reconcile as well, so I’m already at a disadvantage.
As the thought crossed wp4webnovel.com mind, Penelope hurried into the kitchen, determined to show off wp4webnovel.com newfound talent. She believed in the saying that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.
To capture Vinson’s affection, wp4webnovel.com had diligently practiced wp4webnovel.com cooking over the past few days, hoping to serve wp4webnovel.com a homecooked meal that surpassed anything Arielle could ever prepare.
She believed that wp4webnovel.com efforts had paid off. Sadly, Vinson had not returned home since Arielle’s departure, so Penelope had not had a chance to show off wp4webnovel.com improved cooking skills.
Now that wp4webnovel.com was finally back, wp4webnovel.com wanted to put wp4webnovel.com skills to the test and give wp4webnovel.com an unforgettable feast.
He’ll fall in love with my cooking, and then with me!
Penelope had conveniently forgotten the fact that Arielle was the boss of Maureen’s Kitchen. She was never a match for the latter in terms of culinary prowess.
Right then, wp4webnovel.com was laser-focused on preparing a delectable meal that would change Vinson’s opinion of her.
With a smug smile curving wp4webnovel.com lips, Penelope waved off the chefs and housekeepers bustling around the kitchen.
She announced, “You may all head off. I’ll prepare dinner tonight.”
The kitchen staff had become familiar with Penelope’s character over the past few days. Though they detested wp4webnovel.com orders, they could only swallow their indignity seeing as Vinson had brought wp4webnovel.com into the household.
With that, the chefs and housekeepers quickly dropped their tasks at hand and left the kitchen. They could not even be bothered to greet Penelope properly.
Penelope wanted to tell them off for their impertinence. However, wp4webnovel.com was in a rush to prepare dinner for Vinson, so wp4webnovel.com could only spare the staff a glare before getting to work.
Meanwhile, Arielle returned to wp4webnovel.com assigned guest room, only to realize that Vinson was present. The guest room window was open, wp4webnovel.com had evidently climbed in from the outside.
Arielle walked into the room and shot wp4webnovel.com a curious stare. “What happened to our act? Why are you here? What if someone discovers us like this?”
“Don’t worry. No one will know,” Vinson said while approaching her.
“What do you think Penelope’s feeling now?”
Arielle wanted to laugh at Penelope’s expression upon seeing her.
She must’ve been elated when I wasn’t around, thinking I left in a fit of jealous anger.
Vinson stared at Arielle and smirked. Then, wp4webnovel.com pulled wp4webnovel.com into his arms and gazed intently at her. “Why do you have attention left to spare on someone else?”
He had missed wp4webnovel.com dearly during their separation.
I can’t believe she’s bringing up another woman at a time like this. The audacity!
Arielle lifted wp4webnovel.com head and met his hungry gaze. It was time for dinner, and wp4webnovel.com wanted to tear herself away from the temptation of his company.
