Chapter 1453 Keep Her Happy
Harvey shared his concerns and thoughts with Vinson, who fell silent in thought.
Vinson could not deny the logic in Harvey’s words, but he thought it was selfish to keep Harvey in Turlen for their safety.
“But Old Mr. Jupiter—” Vinson barely mentioned the Jupiter family patriarch when Harvey cut in, “Don’t worry about Grandpa. He already knew that I wouldn’t be home so soon when I set off to Turlen. You’re as close as a brother to me, so don’t feel bad about me staying. We came here together, and we’re leaving together.”
“Thank you, Harvey.” Vinson was immensely grateful.
They continued chatting for a while longer before ending the call.
When Harvey found out that Vinson was already staying with Arielle, his heart churned with a mix of emotions. He took a can of beer from the fridge and opened it, downing a few gulps at one go.
Xavier came out of his room to the sight of Harvey’s day drinking. Shocked, he asked, “Why are you drinking in the morning?”
“You want some?” Harvey shook the can in his hands. Xavier shook his head; he disliked having alcohol in the morning.
At Paelsford Manor, Arielle eventually got out of bed at ten. A chauffeur had already sent Pat to school by the time she awoke. Vinson was handling some company matters on her laptop when he heard her opening her door. He closed the laptop before leaving his room.
He arched a brow and looked at her, asking, “Are you hungry?”
Arielle’s stomach rumbled in response. A faint blush tinged her cheeks, and she pretended to be calm as she replied, “I suppose your guess is correct.”
Vinson smirked, enjoying the sight of his wife’s bashful look. He stared at her lovingly and said, “The kitchen kept some breakfast for you.”
“But I want to eat your homemade tomato carbonara,” Arielle muttered, shooting him a pleading gaze.
She did not know why, but she felt a sudden urge to eat his homecooked meals.
Vinson raised his brow at that. Not a problem! As long as my wife wants it, I’ll do everything I can to satisfy her cravings.
“All right. Wait for a bit. I’ll make some for you right now.” With that, he ruffled her hair fondly and went downstairs.
Arielle stared at his back and smiled. She followed him downstairs and settled into the couch to reply to Sam’s text.
Sam had texted her earlier, asking when she would return to Chanaea. They were wrapping up filming in half a month, and the only scenes left to shoot were hers. Arielle scrunched her brows in frustration. It might be too late if I ask him to find a replacement.
After some thought, she texted him back: I’ll give you an answer in a week.
On the other hand, Vinson headed straight for the kitchen once he was downstairs. With his dark expression, cold demeanor, and imposing aura, the staff in the kitchen immediately froze in fear upon his arrival.
Their reaction brought a frown to Vinson’s face. He wanted to tell them that they could leave the kitchen, yet he could not speak a word of Turlenese. Eventually, he silently focused on cooking for Arielle.
He took two tomatoes and eggs out of the fridge. After dicing the former, he cracked the eggs into a bowl and beat them evenly. Then, he sliced some scallions and switched on the stove before heating some oil in a pan. Once the oil was sufficiently heated, he added the diced tomatoes and scallions and stir-fried them.
The success of his tomato carbonara depended on this step. It was vital for the tomatoes to release their juices and bring the sauce together. He added a bit of salt to encourage the tomatoes to soften.
Once the tomatoes had fully released their juices, he added a bit of water, ketchup, and soy sauce. In a separate pot, he boiled some water and cooked a handful of spaghetti. He then added the eggs to the tomato mixture in the pan and finished the sauce. Finally, Vinson poured the sauce over the cooked spaghetti and served up a steaming, delicious plate of tomato carbonara.
