Chapter 122
“Oh my goodness! How was this barbecue sauce made? It’s so delicious! It’s amazing…” Tristonexclaimed in astonishment as he quickly stuffed food into his mouth.
Just like Catherine, he loved barbecue. He had tried all the barbecues in his home country, and in theend, he even opened his own barbecue restaurant with a master chef. It was evident that he truly lovedit.
Triston had come here to join in the fun, but he didn’t expect this barbecue to be so impressive anddelicious. It was truly extraordinary.novelbin
Ronin rolled his eyes at Triston and couldn’t help but comment, “Why do you have to talk while eating?If you keep blabbering, I’ll kick you out!”
Triston was scared by Ronin’s fierce tone of voice. He quickly grabbed some meat and stuffed theminto his mouth to prevent himself from being kicked out later.
Ronin sat in his seat, looking unhappy. He had spent a long time researching the sauce and had tried itmany times. It was specifically designed to serve Catherine. But now, so many people shared it.
The sauce wasn’t exclusively for Catherine now, which made him angry. “How could it be like this?” heasked inwardly. “I made the sauce for Catherine! I don’t want you to share it with her!”
However, Catherine agreed to let the other people come, and Ronin had no choice but to acquiesce.He looked towards Catherine and saw Branden naturally put a piece of meat on Catherine’s plate.Seeing this, Ronin exploded with rage. He stood up and glared at Branden, his face full of anger.
“Hey, how can you use your fork to pick food for our Boss? Don’t you know that it’s contaminated withyour saliva?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy table fell silent, and only the sound of meat sizzlingremained.
Everyone’s gaze focused on the two of them, but Branden remained calm as if he wasn’t the one beingshouted at. He slowly lifted his head and glanced at Ronin, his gaze steady and icy, devoid of emotion.
Catherine didn’t think it was a big deal either. She continued to eat the meat on her plate without anyhesitation.
The lack of response from the two directly answered everything silently. Triston laughed out loud in anattempt to diffuse the awkwardness.
“Well, what’s the big deal? They’re engaged, and their parents have agreed. It’s normal for them tosleep together, let alone share food.”
Ronin, already on the verge of exploding, threw a fit on the spot. “You’re talking nonsense! How canthis guy be worthy of our Boss?”
The air fell silent in an instant, and Triston internally gave a thumbs-up to Ronin. “Well done, youngman,” he praised silently. “You’re amazing.”
Ronin might be the only person in Casier who dared to say such words to Branden. Sensing thestrange atmosphere, Ronin felt panic in his heart, but he quickly overcame it with his strong belief.
“I didn’t say anything wrong!”
He stared at Branden, his eyes filled with resentment. In Ronin’s opinion, this man’s behavior tarnishedCatherine, and he would not let that happen again.
Branden’s expression changed slightly, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He didn’t have time to playaround with Ronin, a little brat. He cared about Catherine. He locked his gaze Conto Catherine, his
deep eyes seeming to carry the power to devour everything. 11 Do you think I’m good enough for you?”
Catherine, enjoying the barbecue, didn’t expect such an abrupt question. Hearing the voice, she slowlyraised her head, her cold eyes filled with confusion.
Under Branden’s charming temptation, Catherine instinctively nodded her head. A faint smile appearedon Branden’s face. The tip of his tongue pressed against his cheek, and the upward tilt of his eyes wasfilled with pride.
Triston noticed it as well. He reached out to pat Ronin’s shoulder. Ronin turned his head and glared atTriston angrily, forcefully shaking off Triston’s hand.
Catherine just wanted to enjoy the barbecue and didn’t want any more conflicts. Suddenly, she spoketo Ronin.
“The barbecue is good!”
In the previous second, Ronin was sulking, but a big smile instantly appeared after hearing Catherine’swords. He turned his head to look at Catherine, his eyes filled with anticipation.
“Boss, I was originally worried that the sauce would be too salty. I didn’t expect you to like it too. It’sgreat, isn’t it?”
Catherine raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Ronin, who had a bright smile on his face. Shenodded in agreement with his words.
For Ronin, this was like being praised twice in a row by his Boss simultaneously, which enormouslyexcited him. Just a moment ago, he felt the world was gloomy, but it suddenly became colorful andvibrant.
“Boss, I put some jelly in the
refrigerator. I made it myself. I’ll go get it for you!”
After saying that, Ronin got up and left .
Jelly went well with the barbecue. It was a perfect match. As soon as Ronin disappeared, Tristonimmediately glared at Catherine, whispering, “Catherine, this classmate of yours seems a bit crazy,huh? How can he switch roles so easily? One second ago, he was a cold and arrogant top student, andthe next, he was a sweet little puppy. He’s quite an actor.”
Like a family member, Ronin had been by Catherine’s side since they were young. She didn’t likehearing others talk about him.
She raised her head, and her eyes instantly turned icy. Her eyes were like two sharp swords, shootingdirectly at Triston.
Her gaze was intimidating. Just one glance at Triston made him feel a sense of fear, which was evenmore terrifying than Branden’s. Triston suddenly realized that offending Branden wasn’t the worst thing.But offending Catherine was because offending Catherine was equivalent to insulting Branden, Bryan,and even Ronin.
Triston couldn’t afford to offend them, so he quickly apologized. “Well, sorry, I was just talkingnonsense. I’ll shut up and eat the barbecue, okay?”
Since Triston had apologized, Catherine didn’t dwell on it anymore. Ronin came back with a plate in hishand. He placed it in front of Catherine, looking at her expectantly.
“Boss, have a try. I added some mint water and fruits without sugar!”
Catherine didn’t like to eat sweets. Bryan glanced at the plate and found that Ronin was quitescheming. There were so many people, but Ronin only brought jelly for Catherine. She was truly
favored.
Catherine took a bite and nodded in satisfaction. Ronin’s cooking did suit her taste. She slowly raisedher eyes and glanced at Ronin, asking, “Is there more?”
Ronin knew what Catherine’s words meant. He turned around to bring out a small pot, placing it in frontof everyone. His voice was cold as he said, “If you want to eat, serve yourself!” Ronin’s attitude totallychanged!
