Chapter 81

Chapter 81 The usually seductive and alluring Giselle looked completely different today . Her hair was tied back into a simple low bun , and she wore a plain , short - sleeved top paired with a black A - line skirt . Her fair , delicate face was makeup - free . An apron hung from her neck , giving her the look of a full - on housewife . Yet even in this homely outfit , her beauty still shone through Donovan let out a faint snort .

A smirkalmost tugged at his lips , though he kept a straight face . " Is dinner ready ?" " Of course it is , " Giselle replied enthusiastically . She hurried over to him , linking arms as she led him toward the couch . " Come on , sit down and change your shoes . She quickly fetched a pair of slippers , knelt beside him , and personally helped him remove his leather shoes . Seeing her suddenly so gentle and attractive , Donovan gave a light cough . He was not used to this version of her .

Still , he leaned back into the couch like some pampered lord , watching coldly as she changed his shoes for him . Once that was done , Giselle urged him to head to the dining table while she went into the kitchen to bring the food out . As she busied herself in the kitchen again , Donovan sat down at the table . He was curious to see what kind of delicacies she'd prepared for him tonight . Soon , Giselle emerged with two dishes - beef stewed with carrots and a fresh vegetable beet soup .

When she returned to the kitchen for more , Donovan couldn't resist picking up his cutlery and sampling some beef . It was decent , so he went in for a second piece . Just as she brought out more plates and saw him happily eating the beef , she suddenly cried out , " Hey , those two dishes are for Eastin ! Don't eat them ! " Donovan immediately spat out the half - chewed meat into the trash can . He then proceeded to place at her . " Why didn't you say so earlier ?

Giselle set the two dishes of dog food aside with a laugh . " Oopsie , I forgot ! How was I supposed to low you'd be so greedy ? Come on , these are the ones I made especially for you . Try them and tell me what you think . " Only then did Donovan turn to look at the other plates . But one look at their sloppy presentation was enough to kill his appetite . " What is this ? " he asked , polding at a bowl of watery soup with his cutlery . " Eish chowder soup . It's super nutritious !

" " This fish looks like it just fell asleep in the water , " D Donovan remarked , seeing the whole , untouched fish floating sadly in the bowl " Uh … maybe it didn't tumour great the first time . Here , try the roasted pork chop instead . " Giselle picked up a piece of overcooked , blackened pork chop and held it to his mouth with her cutlery .

To spare her feelings , he summoned all his willpower and reluctantly ate the piece of pork As he chewed , he shot her a look , like he was staring at a monster . Whatever seasoning Giselle had used had created a rock - hard texture with a bizarre mix of bitter , sweet , salty , and sour tastes , All the flavors had gone to war in his mouth " Is it so good you can't bear to swallow ? " she asked with a grin .. It took Donovan a heroic effort to get that piece of meat down his throat .
