Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Anthony walked in, looking for Nolan and Alexa. “What is going on here?” he demanded. His eyes fell upon Nolan’s bandaged hands, and he immediately began to scold the staff in the room for letting his son get hurt.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

One of the female cooks tried to speak up, but Anthony didn’t let them. He continued to yell at them, blaming them for Nolan’s injury. Nolan couldn’t take it anymore, and he yelled back at his father. “It was no one’s fault, Dad,” he explained. “I did it voluntarily out of kindness.”

Anthony wasn’t impressed. “You’re stupid for trying to help around when you can’t even take care of yourself,” he scolded. Alexa was about to speak up for Nolan when Nolan cut her off. “Maybe I got that from you, you couldn’t do anything when Mom was dying,” he retorted.

The sound of silence filled the kitchen as Anthony stood, mouth agape, at a loss for words. Alexa’s eyes widened in shock as she turned towards Nolan, who was breathing heavily, his eyes staring daggers into his father. The housekeeper shifted uncomfortably, looking from one person to another, as if hoping for someone to break the tension.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Anthony spoke. “You’re right,” he said quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. “I couldn’t do anything when your mother was dying.” With those words, he turned and walked out of the kitchen, leaving everyone stunned in his wake.

Nolan looked down at his burned hands, the pain throbbing, but he felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had finally spoken his truth, and for the first time in a long time, he felt like he had the upper hand.

Dinnertime arrived, and Alexa made her way to Nolan’s table, holding a plate of scrumptious-looking food.

She noticed the servants staring at her with so much disdain that she couldn’t help but wonder what was going on. Worried about their anger, Alexa hesitated a bit before placing the plate in front of Nolan.

He saw the hesitant look on her face, and asked, “Is everything alright, Alexa?”

Feeling apprehensive, Alexa replied, “Yes, it’s alright. I hope it tastes as good as it looks.” She then walked away, relieved that she didn’t have to deal with the servants anymore.

Nolan took a few bites of the food, and after a moment of savoring every mouthful, he realized that it was absolutely amazing. The texture was soft and the flavors blended flawlessly, creating an explosion of flavors in his mouth. He even found it more delicious than he had expected.

As time went by, Nolan began to appreciate Alexa’s cooking more and more. He knew that sometimes people like Anthony gave her a hard time, but he always made a point to tell her how much he enjoyed her food.

Anthony, on the other side of the table, was still fuming at Nolan after what he had said to him earlier. Even so, he couldn’t resist the urge to invite Alexa over for dinner. “Alexa, come over to our side of the table,” he called out.
