Lucas's cold

es swept over Russell, and he sneered, "Just checking to see if Mr. Skyler has kicked the bucket yet."

The smile on Russell's face faded slightly. "I'm sorry to disappoint you.

"No problem. Next time I'll hit harder, and maybe I won't get disappointed," Lucas said, pulling up a chair and sitting down. He picked up the bowl and utensils and began eating unceremoniously. Aveline immediately protested,

"That's not for you!"

Lucas raised an eyebrow at her. "Isn't food meant to be eaten?"

"You!"

Aveline's face darkened with anger. How could this man be so shameless? Coming to the hospital to steal Russell's food without any sense of shame!

Lucas clearly didn't care. He ate with great enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Russell didn't delay and started eating as well.

With only one person's portion, it wasn't long before the two men finished all the food.

Aveline was speechless!

Lucas put down the utensils and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin. He glanced at Aveline and said, "Not bad."

With that, he turned and left.

Aveline was speechless.

Was he crazy?

She turned to Russell, looking apologetic. "Russ, I'm sorry. I didn't know he would come. Did you get enough to eat? If not, I can go back and make more. I have some ingredients left at home." Russell replied, "I'm full. You don't need to make me more."

Aveline frowned slightly. "Russ, it's no trouble. I'll go back and make you some more."

Aveline fell silent. She hadn't expected Lucas to come to the hospital, not to provoke or cause trouble, but simply to steal some food.

Russell clicked his tongue twice. "It seems he's upset with you cooking for me."

While packing up the lunchbox, Aveline responded, "It's my right to decide who eats the food I cook Even if he's upset, there's nothing he can do about it." "You're absolutely right."

Russell nodded approvingly, his eyes shimmering as he gazed at her with a smile.

After packing up the lunchbox, Aveline said, "Russ, you can order whatever you'd like." Russell was surprised. "Really?"

Aveline nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Whatever you want, I'll make it."

Russell rubbed his chin. "Looks like I'll have to test your cooking skills."

Aveline couldn't help but laugh. "Just think about it and let me know."

She wasn't boasting. When it came to cooking, there wasn't a dish she couldn't handle. She had a natural talent for it.

Russell nodded. "Alright, I'll let you know once I've decided."

Aveline said, "Then I'll be off now. I don't want to disturb your rest."

Russell looked at her. "You've only been here a short while. Besides, I've been resting all day. Stay and chat with me." Aveline paused slightly.

Chat?

About what?

She and Russell weren't exactly at a stage where they could talk about anything and everything.

Russell looked at her and asked, "Now that you've resigned from DK Group, where are you planning to go next?" Aveline shook her head. "I haven't decided yet."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
