Simple Dishes Taste Like Heaven.
Joseph’s face sank. He stretched out his hand, revealing his prominent knuckles as he pointed at
Chloe. “Go cook for me.”
Chloe had a stomach ache and did not want to cook, so she said, “Let’s order takeout.”
“Sure, you pay for it then. I want seafood from Floria,” Joseph said, looking at her fixedly as he saw
through her intentions with a glance.
Floria was a famous seafood restaurant in Aesper. It carried a variety of fresh and cured seafood
dishes, with oysters being its specialty. The prices were high, yet the portions were
small.
Chloe was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, “How did you know I got paid today?”
“Really?” Joseph raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Then I should order more today.”
Chloe opened the takeout app and handed her phone to Joseph. “Order whatever you want.”
He casually ordered a few items. Chloe painfully paid for it and ordered a bowl of clam chowder as
well. When the takeout arrived, Joseph realized that she had not ordered anything else for herself.
“Why are you so stingy with yourself?” he asked exasperatedly.
“Well, it’s because I like you. I’d rather eat plain food than see you suffer,” Chloe sarcastically retorted,
but her voice was weak due to her stomach ache. Coupled with her innocent and harmless
appearance, it aroused a protective instinct in those around her.
Joseph froze and his gaze grew deep. He was taken aback by the fact that she loved him so deeply
that she would willingly go without food just to provide him with a satisfying meal. Even someone with a
heart of stone would be touched by such affection.
Joseph pushed the oysters he had ordered toward her and said, “Let’s eat together.”
Chloe declined and pushed the plate away, signaling she had no appetite. Her stomach was aching
and she was not in the mood for cold oysters at the moment. Instead, she preferred a warm bowl of
soup.
Chloe held the bowl of clam chowder and sipped on it. As the warm soup filled her belly, happiness
filled her face.
A furrow appeared on Joseph’s forehead.
‘Is this what people mean when they say simple dishes taste like heaven when eaten with a loved
one?’ he wondered.
He could not understand this feeling, but he could not help but be moved by it. An indescribable feeling
slowly spread from a certain place in his heart. It was like a tender shoot
sprouting out of dry earth, growing and blossoming silently.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Chloe accidentally choked on the soup, her face turning bright red as she urgently looked for water to
drink.
Joseph snapped out of his thoughts and without hesitation, offered his own water cup to her.
Chloe, struggling to catch her breath, did not even think twice about whose cup it was and took a few
sips. It went down smoothly and she felt much better. However, when she looked down at the cup in
her hand, she was almost scared out of her wits.
‘This is Joseph’s cup! He gave me his cup?!’
From the moment she moved in, he had emphasized several times that she was not allowed to touch
his personal belongings, so she had always remembered his words and never touched his items, even
separating their laundry and using two separate washing machines. But this time, she had used his
water cup…
Chloe dared not look at Joseph and quietly put the cup down. She lowered her head and ate silently.
Feeling a sudden thirst, Joseph picked up the glass and took a sip, not realizing that it was the same
spot where Chloe had touched. As he finished drinking, he suddenly became aware of his own actions.
‘Why did I give her my cup?”
Despite the intimate gesture, he did not dwell on it and even took a few extra sips of water to quench
his thirst.
The two of them ate the rest of their meal in silence, with Toto nudging Chloe’s leg and eyeing her soup
hungrily.
Chloe lowered her head and looked at the wound on Toto’s leg. Since the dog’s fur was white, the
bloodstain was particularly noticeable as the wound had yet to heal and Toto could not have a bath or
the wound would get wet.
She pursed her lips and let out a long sigh. “I shouldn’t have let Toto loose yesterday.”
Joseph was rigid in his opinions, but technically speaking, he was in the right. The mistake he made
was that he unfairly criticized her without distinguishing right from wrong at the beginning.
Of course, she did not voice this out loud. She was well aware that if she did, Joseph might start
arguing with her again, and that was something she did not want to happen right now.
Joseph did not immediately change into his usual clothes upon returning home tonight. Instead, he
undid the buttons on his white shirt and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong and powerful wrists.
He was born with a noble demeanor, and every move and action he made

was filled with elegance.
His expression did not change, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. To show that he was the
bigger person between them, he said, not realizing the smugness on his face, Don’t worry. I won’t hold
it against you.”
Chloe rolled her eyes, not believing a word of it.
“I ran into Grandpa today,” she said. She then told him everything that happened this afternoon,
including the small accident she and Harold had got into.
To her surprise, Joseph calmly replied, “I know.”
“Huh? Grandpa told you about it?”
“Not only did he mention that he ran into you, but he also said that you were toiling away in the
scorching summer heat, unable to take a lunch break as you had to go out for business.” He sneered,
his voice chilly.
It seemed to Joseph that Harold was getting old and his mind was not working properly anymore.
Harold wanted him to make Chloe the vice president of Fairlight but also expected him to handle all the
work.
Such behavior was ridiculous and made Joseph want to laugh out loud.
