The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1493

“You know I’m a daughter of the Alonso family, so you should guess that I can’t cook. Being able to boil pasta is already my limit.”

“And with all that book learning, all you’ve mastered is boiling pasta?” Azriel responded nonchalantly, then picked up his cutlery and began to eat his pasta.

Phoebe pursed her lips. He was quite stubborn. “You don’t exactly look… too poor to afford a cook…”

Azriel scoffed. “I’ve got money, but what’s that got to do with me apologizing and making amends to you?”

Phoebe threw up her hands in resignation. “Fine, just keep eating. If you don’t, the noodles will get mushy and won’t be good anymore.”

Azriel took a couple of bites, then looked up at her. “Have you eaten?”

Phoebe made a face. She hadn’t eaten since last night. Luckily, she managed to score a meal at the police station at lunchtime today, otherwise, she would’ve starved. “I just had à carrot and a tomato.”

Azriel raised an eyebrow. “Couldn’t you have made more pasta?”

Phoebe quickly waved her hands. “I’m really not hungry!”

The truth was, she had scoured the entire kitchen and only found this pack of pasta. Even if she wanted to eat, there wasn’t anything left.

Azriel didn’t want to argue with her about it and continued eating his pasta.

After finishing his meal, Phoebe washed up the dishes and prepared to leave. But Azriel spoke, “There are plenty of rooms here, and you’re free to stay or go as you please. But the condition is you can’t delay my breakfast. If you can’t do that… I guess we could call what you did last night breaking and entering?”
