Chapter 314 Dn shrugged casually, clearly indifferent.


    He had already tried to warn Natasha, but if she refused to listen, there was not much he could do.


    It was obvious that Andrew was cutting her some ck if someone like Michael had dared to act up, they would have been pped into submission long ago.


    By the time Andrew returned to Moonlit Sanctuary, the sun was setting


    He pushed open the door to the small house on the hill and found Marvin lounging under the tree at a stone table, sipping leisurely on some liquor.


    The table held not just Andrews prized bottle of aged whiskey but also a few snacks that were perfect for drinking


    Andrew walked over and smirked.


    When did you start getting into the finer things in life, old man? Marvin chuckled and raised his ss. Sir, youre giving me too much credit.


    These fancy little snacks? Definitely not my handiwork.


    He gestured toward the house with a knowing look.


    Andrew frowned in confusion.


    Who else would be here ? Just as he spoke, the sound of footsteps came from inside.


    A familiar figure appeared in the doorway, wearing an apron and carrying a steaming pot of beef stew.


    Hey, youre back! Lauren beamed, her smile brighter than the evening sun.


    Go wash your hands dinners ready.


    Andrew froze for a second, surprised


    What are you doing here? Lauren was bustling back and forth from the kitchen, carrying out a few more dishes before finally brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear.


    Dont worry about how I got here


    Just tell me am I not wee? She tilted her head yfully.


    If you dont want me here, Ill leave right now.


    Andrew chuckled.


    Its not that.


    I just feel bad seeing someone like you such a pampereddy -go through so much trouble cooking all this.


    Lauren let out a mock huff, sitting down to scoop soup into bowls.


    Thats more like it


    But honestly, it wasnt hard at all.


    Ive always loved experimenting with food.


    I dont cook often, but if its for someone I care about, Id happily do it every day.


    Marvinughed heartily.


    Thats the kind of talk I love to hear.


    Laurens eyes sparkled as she teased, Well, if it makes the richest man in town happy, III make sure to


    say it more often! Marvin shook his head with a grin.


    You two lovebirds should save the sweet talk for when youre alone.


    I dont want to be the third wheel here.


    1/2  Chapter 314 After the meal, Marvin excused himself, iming he had things to do, and left the two of them alone.


    Lauren giggled.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, isnt Mr.


    Yates such a thoughtful man? Hes giving us some quality time together.


    Andrew put down his utensils and hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    Ms.


    Rhodes, I feel like I should rify something about Marvin and me- Before he could finish, Lauren raised her hand to his lips, silencing him gently.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, theres no need to exin.


    Ive known youre not just an ordinary person.


    Andrew frowned slightly.


    Its not asplicated as you think.


    Marvin and I are simply- You dont need to say anything! Lauren interrupted, waving him off.


    I already know, so dont worry about it.


    Andrew watched her pop a piece of braised beef into her mouth, her eyes narrowing in delight as she savored the vor


    Wow, this beef is amazing! My cooking skills are out of this world! she shamelessly praised herself.


    3 Andrew could not help butugh at her antics.


    Lauren pped her hands together and smiled.


    Alright, Im full


    Dr.


    Lloyd, I know you and Mr.


    Yates have aplicated rtionship that youd rather not discuss.


    But dont worry 1 like you for who you are, not where youe from.


    Before Andrew could respond, Lauren leaned in with a mischievous glint in her eyes.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, if I had to guess... you and Mr.


    Yates, youre father and son, right?
