Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman ) novel Chapter 1776

It was quite a pleasure for the couple to make dinner together. In the spacious Western kitchen, they busied themselves preparing steaks for today’s dinner..

Ellen could only make Mediterranean cuisine and was unfamiliar with steaks, so Jared was the chef for tonight. Still, it surprised her that he was actually an all-around man who was not only capable at work but also skilled at cooking. She watched him grill the steaks with movements similar to those of a five-star chef; the steaks’ aroma filled the air and was incredibly mouthwatering. “Have you learned how to cook before?” she asked curiously while looking on.

Jared replied, “Uh-huh, I’ve learned it before. Cooking’s a pleasure as well.” He had once devoted himself specifically to studying different kinds of food recipes. It didn’t take long for him to master anything, though Ellen. was the first lady apart from his family who had the honor of tasting his cooking.

It was still evening outside the window. Jared said to Ellen, “There’s a pair of scissors there, and the vase can hold some flowers. Can you go to the garden out there and cut some flowers before putting them in the vase?”

A sense of romance instantly surged up within Ellen. Since she was glad to do this, she replied, “Okay, I’ll do it right away. With that, she went to the garden with the scissors.

There were various species of flowers in the Presgrave Villa’s back garden. Even though it was autumn, there were still flowers blooming in all their beauty in the garden.

Ellen was more or less artistic, so she cut five different species of flowers and arranged them together into a charmingly romantic bouquet. Everything seemed wonderful as she arranged. the flowers on the dining table while the man bustled around in the kitchen. The mood was cozy and romantic, and there was a touch of sweetness in the air.

Finally, as she finished arranging the flowers, Jared was also done making dinner, which consisted of baked lobster with cheese, grilled short ribs, fruit salad, and dessert. Jared took her hand, saying, “Come with me.”

Ellen followed him toward a door in puzzlement. Surprisingly, the door opened to a downward spiraling staircase. Then, the lights came on, revealing a luxurious wine cellar. The dim light illuminated the glass cabinet, in which an expensive collection of wine bottles was sparkling in bright colors.

Jared opened the wine bottle and poured a half glass of red wine for Ellen, who then clinked her glass on his with a flicker of shyness in her clear eyes. “Have a taste of my cooking,” he said with a tender smile.

Ellen cut a piece of the short ribs and tasted it. The meat was smooth and tender, and it tasted good and authentic. She praised with a smile, ‘It’s delicious.”

Jared felt very fulfilled. Seeing the sincere smile in her eyes, he was very satisfied; just her smile alone could satisfy him so much. “Thanks for the dinner. Here’s a toast to you,” Ellen said while raising her glass.

The words ‘cross-cupped wine’ involuntarily popped up in Jared’s mind as he looked at her slender and tender arms. He looked forward to the day when he could drink cross-cupped wine with her.
