Tina even went to the kitchen to check out the situation there. The fridge’s contents were incredibly messy as well. She noticed a few tomatoes, a block of cheese, and a few containers of leftover spaghetti inside. “Why don’t you throw them away?” Frederick asked after taking a look at the ingredients, Tina shook her head. “That’s too wasteful. Besides, I can whip up a quick pasta dish if you want.”
“Huh? Are these even edible?” Frederick looked slightly suspicious of the ingredients. “Why don’t I just order takeout?”
Tina was very confident in her culinary skills. “Just you wait!”
At first, Frederick intended to help her out in the kitchen in order to demonstrate his skills in being a househusband, but he kept screwing everything up. Tina had to chase him out of the kitchen, swinging a large kitchen knife threateningly. About ten minutes later, Tina was done making the pasta dish.
Not only did it look appetizing, but it was also as tasty as the dishes made by the renowned chefs in the city. Frederick, who was already used to eating fancy meals, couldn’t help but give Tina a delighted thumbs-up. “You can definitely open a restaurant on your own! i’ll book your restaurant and eat your cooking every day!” Tina couldn’t help but giggle. All of the negative emotions in her dissipated on the spot. Her smile and laughter were pure and sweet. Frederick couldn’t help but sigh emotionally,
“As expected, you look prettier when you’re smiling. I like it a lot.”
He preferred the smiling Tina rather than the vulnerable and helpless version of her.
The smile instantly evaporated from Tina’s face. She quickly stepped away from Frederick while looking at him in alert. novelbin
Frederick was speechless when he noticed her behavior. Her mood changed so quickly, he didn’t know how to react.
At that moment, sounds of knocking echoed from the main entrance of the mansion.
Tina was surprised to hear it. “Did you seriously order takeout?” she asked. “No.” Frederick rose to his feet, quite surprised as well. “I’ll go take a look.”
The moment he opened the door, his expression changed slightly.
“Grandpa?! Why are you here?” The only person whom Frederick would refer to as ‘Grandpa’ would be Lord Jackson
“So! I see you still remember who’s your grandpa, eh? what’s wrong? Are you hiding something from me? Why can’t I visit you, hmm?” Lord Jackson was nearlng his eighties, but he was still strong and healthy. His spirit was
unwavering, and he looked very energetic. Without giving Frederick a chance to react, he strode into the mansion after pushing him aside.
Tina was still cleaning up the dining table at that time. She was shocked to see Lord Jackson entering the mansion. “I knew it! You’re the vixen who almost killed Frederick! How dare you stick around him after everything you’ve done?” Lord Jackson’s gaze was filled with nothing but disdain as he glared at Tina. “Grandpa, you’ve misunderstood everything! She didn’t stick around me! I was the one…” Frederick quickly stood in front of Tina to shield her. But Lord Jackson demanded, “Drag this useless grandson of mine out of my sight!”
The butler and subordinates who followed Old Mr. Jackson into the mansion quickly whisked Frederick away the moment his words fell.
Soon, only Tina and Lord Jackson remained in the kitchen. The former had never expected to meet the latter face to face.
It was obvious that Lord Jackson had misunderstood her. “Lord Jackson, I…” “There’s nothing to talk about!” Lord Jackson interrupted Tina’s words immediately, slamming his walking stick into the floor. “Name the price. How much should I pay you for you to leave my grandson alone?” Tina’s expression darkened immediately. “I don’t need money. I’ll leave right now.” “What do you mean by that? Don’t spout such nonsense in front of me. You may be able to fool Frederick, but you can’t fool me!” Lord Jackson harrumphed coldly. “Do you honestly think I don’t know what methods you used to seduce Samuel Langford? Let me tell you this! The entire elite society of Freesia knows what you’ve done! First, you used the opportunity to get married into the Langford family. Then, you start being ambiguous with John Carter. And now, you’ve charmed my grandson into obsessing over you. Are you only satisfied when my only grandson is dead? Tina Lynd, you’re an evil and manipulative woman!”
