Cloe chuckled . “ I can’t help it . Owen had learned to cook in my restaurant for one whole month . ”
Aria held a dagger and flung it toward a wooden board several meters away . The dagger embedded itself in the board with a crisp sound ,
“ The chels in Mavern Restaurant are experts , so it was reasonable for him to learn from them , ” Aria said calmly .
Cloe teased , “ There may be another reason . ”
“ What is 21 ”
“ Owen has a thing for you .”
The dagger viered slightly , and it almost missed the bull’s eye .
Aria raised her eyebrows . “ No way .”
When Owen began his training in Navoron Restaurant , Aria just moved in and had little interaction with him . “ He learned to cook for himself . It has nothing to do with me . ”
“ He invites you to dine with him every day . ”
“ We’re friends , and … ” Aher a pause , Aria added , “ He may be fulfilling his promise . ”
Cloe’s eyes lit up with curiosity . “ What promise
Aria didn’t answer the question . “ He and I are neighbors and friends . If you lived across the hall , I’d be a frequenter to your place too . ”
“ Come on ! He is a man . ”
“ See him as a woman if you like . ”
Cloe was lost for words .
“ Enough about me . How are things with you and Kim ? ”
“ He comes once a week to see Julia .
Cloe felt it inappropriate to stop Kim from seeing Julia since his blood was in Julia .
Cloe would satisfy Kim as long as he had no plan of taking Julia away .
Cloe didn’t talk about Owen anymore after she realized that Aria deliberately had the topic .
She thought , “ Because of the jerk , Liam , Aria may lose interest in men . What a challenge for Owen ! ”
Aria and Cloe chatted on before they hung up the phone .
I minutes later , Aria finished her shower , got a message , and collected her food at the doorway
When she was ready for her food , her phone buzzed again .
Owen : ( Do you order meals from Navoron Restaurant this month ?
Aria : [ Yeah . ]
Owen then sent a photo over . In the photo was a round table with chicken soup , braised pork , and salads on it

Aria enlarged the photos on her phone . On the right edge of the photo was a rough hand that contained a scar around its middle finger
Instantly , Aria was shocked . Are you in Jamelan ? ]
Owen : [ Yeah . I will stay in Jamelan for one whole week and then go to another village . ]
Owen typed , Why do you know that I am in Jamelant
Soon , Owen deleted the message because it didn’t sound lendly How do you know that I am … ]
He deleted the message again . Owen : ( Why do you know ? ]
There came no imply from Aria . Owen had deliberately captured nobody in his photo .
He clicked the photo , zoomed in , and saw a hand .
He turned his head and saw an elderly woman with gray hair softly playing with a little girl .
The little girl was nestling in another woman’s arms , clutching a toy , and laughing with delight .
“ Betty , when Madelyn invited you to town , you should have said yes ,” Kate Livingston said .
Betty Colton smiled gently . “ How could 17 I did nothing for her . I have a pension , My life in Jamelan is great . ”
Instantly , Kate responded with a smiling face , “ It is true .”

All she did for Betty was trifles like some shopping , so she was envied by her villagers .
Kate was glad that she had softheartedly opened her door and invited the thinly – clad Madelyn into her house from the heavy snow years ago .
