108.Chapter 108
Teresa had managed to stay married to Jonathan for two years, largely because his cooking was incredible–especially his honey garlic pork chops. They were so good, he could’ve won the Nareigh celebrity chef contest.
But now the pork chops were gone or so she thought.
“Here’s another plate, especially for you,” Jonathan announced, appearing suddenly with a fresh serving. He placed it right in front of her.
Unable to resist, Teresa picked up a piece and took a bite. Jonathan smiled slightly, thinking. ‘She still loves pork chops so much.’
Cheryl, sitting nearby, covered her eyes dramatically. “Oh my, you kept a plate just for her? It’s so cringe–worthy to watch.”
Miriam smirked. “Let’s go cut some fruit and give them some space.”
Cheryl chuckled. “Sure thing, Miriam. I’ll help.”
The two, both full and satisfied, got up to prepare fruit. Teresa continued eating, stealing a glance at Michael, who had already cleared his plate.
Rubbing his round belly, Michael grinned. “I’m so full!
Teresa scolded lightly, “You shouldn’t eat so much. You just recovered from a cold. The doctor said you shouldn’t overeat.”
Michael shook his head, defending himself. “I didn’t eat that much! It’s just that Mr. Lime’s cooking is too good.” He leaned toward Jonathan with a playful grin. “Mr. Daddy Lime, you’re amazing! I wish you could cook for me every day.”
Jonathan patted Michael’s head but didn’t make any promises. His gaze lingered on Teresa for a moment as a thought crossed his mind, ‘Her reaction to Michael was…” He shook it off, deciding he might overthinking things.
Miriam returned with a platter of fresh fruit. “Here’s the fruit. Have some, everyone.”
Cheryl handed Jonathan a slice of orange. “Here, Jonathan. You’ve worked hard tonight.”
Miriam added, “Thanks, Mr. Lynn, for cooking today. Your skills haven’t changed a bit. I miss the days when I used to come over and mooch food from you.”
Cheryl nodded enthusiastically. “Jonathan’s cooking is unbeatable. During our family’s New Year’s Eve dinners, it’s always him who cooks. It’s honestly the best day of the year for me.”
Successfully unlocked!
Miriam laughed. “Mr. Lynn, if you’re free, you should come cook for my New Year’s Ever dinner. I’ll even pay you!”
Jonathan replied politely but noncommittally, “We’ll see.”

Teresa sighed, holding her forehead. ‘So much for trying to manipulate this man. Now he’s cooked a meal and has us all wrapped around his finger, she thought.
Miriam grinned mischievously. “Teresa’s birthday is coming up. Let’s not eat out this time; the restaurants aren’t any good anyway. How about Jonathan cooks instead?” Teresa quickly nudged Miriam with her elbow, trying to shut her up. Only then did Miriam cover her mouth.
Jonathan glanced at Teresa thoughtfully. ‘Right, her birthday’s on the 16th of January! He’d been back in Nareigh since early fall, and now, deep winter had set in. He realized he’d barely had chances like this to sit and share meals with her.
Changing the subject, he asked Michael, who was perched in his arms, “Mike, when’s your birthday?”
Teresa froze for a moment before looking at Michael. The boy, munching on an apple slice, shook his head sadly. “My mommy doesn’t celebrate my birthday.”
