Chapter 621 Who Can't Cook?
The atmosphere at the dining table was extremely strange.
Elijah and Clover, smiling warmly, served Rose some food. "Rose, have some of this. You love it..."
The food was placed on the plate in front of Rose. Then, Jonathan promptly said, "Wifey, I made this."
Jonathan looked at Rose, his face clearly saying, "Wifey, praise me."
"Ugh! This tastes awful!"
Clover clearly had a disdain for Jonathan, and it was written all over his face without any attempt to hide it. He picked at her food, took a bite, and felt like spitting it out. But he had come with the intention of having lunch with Rose and ended up going there without having eaten lunch.
He didn't get to eat lunch, and his frustration left him feeling full.
Although he was still a bit miffed, as soon as the food entered his mouth, he realized he was actually a little hungry.
]He hadn't expected Jonathan's cooking skills to be, well... quite good?
He had to "reluctantly" swallow it down when his original intention was to spit it out
to belittle Jonathan, but now it was just...
Clover frowned and reiterated, "It's awful! Really awful!"
Yet the food being awful did not affect his ability to eat quickly at all.
Jonathan quietly placed Clover's favorite dishes in front of him without saying anything.
Clover wasn't interested in being pleased or won over.
Food was one thing, but when it came to compromising on anything related to Rose, that was absolutely out of the question!
After eating, Clover began to put his plan into action.
"Rose, you take a break. I need to discuss something with Jonathan." Clover smiled somewhat genuinely.
Rose looked at his smile and felt a bit uneasy. She also looked at Jonathan with a hint of concern.
"Go on. We'll come back to see you tomorrow," Clover waved to Rose, seeming almost like a big grey wolf.
Jonathan was from the Finch family, and considering Regalia was under his territory, even if Clover intended to do something to him, it wouldn't be too extreme, right?
What Clover was planning to do to Jonathan was not tat excessive.
As soon as Rose went upstairs, the smile on Clover's face disappeared. "Let's go!"
It was just one word, but it carried a strong sense of authority.
Jonathan raised an eyebrow and smiled, not minding at all as he followed along.
Three of them got into the same car from an underground garage. The car had a low-profile appearance and drove for quite some time before entering another underground parking lot.
When Jonathan got out of the vehicle, he realized where he was.
Jonathan frowned as Clover said in a cold voice, "I've just received news that your health condition has changed. At this moment, the Finch family should be on their way to the hospital."
Jonathan was at a loss for words. His "change in physical condition" was undoubtedly the work of Clover.
Clover looked back at him with open honesty, with an expression that seemed to be confessing. "Your family has come to see you. You can't let them down with
their concern. Mr. Finch, handle it well and don't give anything away."
Jonathan had no retort except to sarcastically express his gratitude.
Clover also felt his "sincerity" and responded gracefully, "No need to thank me."
Jonathan clenched his teeth.
Leonard called, sounding urgent as he said, "Sir, Mrs. Finch Senior, Mr. Jack, and Mr. Cyrus are here, and so is Madam..."
The madam he referred to was Lizzie.
Jonathan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that.
Leonard urged, "Sir, what should we do? You're in..."
"I'm in the parking lot. Arrange for someone to cover me." Jonathan glared
intensely at Clover. This man was playing with fire!
Clover shrugged and expressed great trust in Jonathan, saying, "You can do it. I'm rooting for you!"
He was rooting for him? He had got to be joking!
The people Leonard mentioned arrived quickly, and Jonathan swiftly made his way upstairs undercover.
Clover got back into the car. Elijah didn't seem too pleased. "What you did was too risky. If you make a mistake, everything could fall apart."
"Uncle Elijah, don't worry. If Jonathan can't handle even this, he wouldn't be deserving of being acknowledged as Mr. Finch by the people of Regalia."
Clover expressed his approval of Jonathan in their conversation.
He was always bothering Rose every day. It was so annoying and really infuriating!
But now...
"At least for these two days, he'll have to stay in the hospital and won't be able to leave." Clover was very pleased. He thought himself really clever for knowing how to manipulate things like this.
Elijah's expression gradually relaxed. "That's true if we're going to put on a show, we should do it properly. I he's supposed to be severely injured in a car accident and in the hospital, he should look the part. However, for the next few days, there will be no one to cook for Rose..."
Elijah frowned, looking worried again.
"What's the big deal? It's not like Jonathan is the only one who can cook." Clover said casually.
Elijah stared at him and asked, "You know how?"
Clover had no response to that. Of course, he didn't know how, but...
"Of course, I can learn! Cooking isn't something people are born knowing how to
do. It's something you learn. Don't worry, Uncle Elijah. If Jonathan can do it, so can I!"
Clover felt enthusiastic. He took out his phone and quickly dialed Emily's number. "Arrange for a few chefs to come to my new place."
He and Elijah being at Regalia was a secret.
Currently, they couldn't be seen by others, so their living arrangement was also kept secret.
Emily glanced at the dark sky outside and hesitated a bit. "Right now? Is it because the current housekeeper's cooking isn't good?"
Is that why he needed to find a new chef? Was he hungry now?
"No!"
Clover preferred to keep things low-key. "Just make sure to find a chef
immediately who can cook Aquastead cuisine."
Aquastead cuisine?
Then this issue had to be related to Rose.
It seemed that Clover wanted the chef to prepare some Aquastead cuisine to be delivered to Rose.
"Don't worry. I'll find the best chef."
After hanging up the phone, Clover drove back home feeling excited. Learning to cook seemed so simple. He was confident that he would impress Rose with his skills the next day.
At that moment, he had no idea that while his ideals were grand and full, the reality was stark and unyielding, inevitably leading to a harsh confrontation with the real world.
In the hospital, Eleanor noticed that she had been there for quite some time, but Jonathan was nowhere to be seen in the hospital room.
At that moment, everyone had a very serious expression on their faces.
"Mrs. Finch Senior, please don't worry. Mr. Finch..." Leonard looked anxious as he
tried to stop Eleanor and her group, but he was unsuccessful.
But Jonathan wasn't in his position yet...
They could not possibly be allowed to go directly into the hospital room.
In a moment of urgency, Leonard blurted out, "Jonathan's condition has changed.
He's been taken into the operating room..."
The operating room...
Jonathan heard these words through the connected communication device.
Jonathan frowned and instructed the person next to him, "Enter the operating
room!"
Meanwhile, upon hearing the news, Eleanor felt herself stagger a bit. "What's happening in the operating room? Is there any risk to his life..."
Eleanor sincerely cared about Jonathan.
Especially after Jonathan took over Finch Group with his strong and decisive methods and having witnessed his capabilities, she was
even more certain that Jonathan was the best person to lead inch Group.
She didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
Eleanor looked worried, and she wasn't the only one feeling concerned-therenoveldrama
was another person who shared her worries.
Leonard saw the worry in Lizzie's eyes, but he couldn't quite discern whether it
was genuine or not.
If it was faked, then it sure felt too real.
But if it was real...
What do you think?
