Chapter 231
Oneida looked utterly surprised
Who would have thought that Jackson would suddenly appear in this kitchen, right behind her?
Wasn’t he supposed to be sleeping!
In an instant, Oneida bumped into Jackson’s knee and lost her balance suddenly.
Just like that, Oneida stumbled and found herself sitting right on Jackson’s lap!
Her arms instinctively wrapped around Jackson’s neck.
The elegance and tenderness of their pose remained truly breathtaking, even after the accident.
“You.” Oneida’s eyes widened slightly.
The air seemed to have heated up a few degrees around them.
Her cheeks lowly took on a rosy tint.
Suddenly realizing that Jackson was still wounded, Oneida wanted to stand up quickly. A flicker of concern crossed her face as she asked, “Are you hurt? I… I’m sorry…
However. Jackson’s slender fingers gently pressed down on Oneida’s arm. He held her in place, making her unable to stand
up
“Don’t move, or you might hurt my wound, Jackson said slowly
Oneida felt there was something odd about his words.
She didn’t think much of it but sat back down.
She dared not move again.
“But I can’t just sit here forever, right?” Oneida asked, her expression slightly awkward.
Jackson’s deep gaze was fixed on her. Then he changed the subject and asked, “I heard from Victor that you’re going to cook for me yourself?”
That’s right.” Oneida smiled and nodded. Then she pointed at the dishes on the kitchen counter and said, “I prepared all these for you. I don’t know whether you like them or not…”
Jackson looked into Oneida’s eyes, which seemed to shimmer with light, bright, deep, and clear. He had been captivated
“I love whatever you make.”
Almost instinctively, Jackson said those words.
His voice was light and gentle.
“What?” Oneida thought she had heard wrong. Her eyes widened as she looked at Jackson in front of her.
But Jackson, as if concealing something, suddenly averted his gaze and stopped looking at her.
“It looks like you’re all set, probably no need for a servant’s help Jackson said, shifting the conversation smoothly.

Oneida smiled and replied. “Of course, I don’t need anyone’s help. I prepared the meal specially for you. I wouldn’t let anyone else help with it.”
Oneida’s happy eyes sparkled as she stared at Jackson.
Jackson was momentarily taken aback.
He gazed into Oneida’s eyes, his own filled with profound depth
Oneida was also looking at him
They stood facing each other, their gazes locked in a profound moment of connection
The atmosphere subtly changed between them.
Jackson’s distinguished nose and elegant, affectionate eyes were so close to Oneida.
Caught in a daze. Oneida felt her heart begin to race a bit faster
Oneida instinctively straightened up, moving away from Jackson’s lap.
She distanced herself from Jackson.
Finally, that flustered, heart–racing sensation eased somewhat.
Pretending to be calm, Oneida asked, “Did I hurt your leg at all?
Jackson calmly shook his head.
“That’s good” Oneida nodded and turned her attention to the dishes on the kitchen counter.
Oneida gently advised, her back turned to Jackson, “The food hasn’t hit the pan yet, so you should wait for me. It’s quite asmoky here. You might want to leave.”
“Yeah,” Jackson murmured softly in agreement, yet showed no signs of leaving.
He watched Oneida’s slender silhouette as she busied cooking and asked suddenly, “Have you ever cooked for anyone else before?”
Caught off guard, Oneida responded, “No.”
She indeed hadn’t cooked for anyone before.
The answer clearly pleased Jackson, behind her.
His eyes turned gentle, and he smiled.
“Very good.”
The words glided out with a crystalline clarity, accompanied by a subtly elusive tone.
Not catching his words, Oneida couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say?”
But Jackson simply shook his head and replied, “Nothing important.”
Oneida didn’t mind at all. She just kept her head down and busied herself with the dishes at hand.
At the same time, Jackson lingered behind her, silently and intently watching her every move.
Chapter 231
At that moment, Onelda was energetic and real, lively and spiritel.
Suddenly, Jackson felt an urge to pick up his paintbrush again,
He wanted to capture the scene before him on canvas.
However, it had been a long time since he last used his paintbrush.
It had been so long that many people had forgotten that Jackson could paint.
Even he himself almost forgot it.
In the end. Oneida persuaded Jackson to leave the kitchen.
There were too many things in the kitchen, and Oneida did not want Jackson to stay here any longer, so she pushed his wheelchair out.
After finishing the final touches, the dishes Oneida had prepared for Jackson were complete.
In the dining room, there were just the two of them.
They sat opposite each other across the luxurious dining table.
The dishes on the table looked very appealing,
The colors, the presentation, and the aroma, all were incredibly appetizing.
Jackson, enjoy it. This is what I owe you. I hope you’ll like the dishes, Oneida said, smiling sincerely.
Hearing her words, Jackson seemed to be pleased.
He elegantly picked up a piece of chicken with his fork and slowly placed it in his mouth.
Oneida watched Jackson a bit nervously. Her eyes slightly widened as she tentatively asked, “How is it?” Oneida was quite confident in her cooking skills, but she wasn’t sure if her dishes suited Jackson’s taste.
Jackson chewed quietly, his expression calm and collected.
However, at that moment, he felt shocked inside.
Oneida’s cooking was completely beyond his expectations.
He had thought a young lady like Oneida would be doing well just to cook the food thoroughly, but unexpectedly, her cooking turned out to be extraordinarily delicious.
It was a flavor that no other delicacy could match.
The flavor was exceptionally natural and delightful, and it melted rapidly in his mouth.
Jackson Oneida, seeing him not speaking, couldn’t help but softly call out. “Don’t you like the taste?”
Oneida was afraid that Jackson might not like it and just walk away, so her tone revealed a hint of nervousness.
Finally, the silent Jackson responded, “It tastes really good.”
It was much better than he had expected.
Only then did Oneida relax, her eyes curving into joyful smiles

NOV
Jackson’s gaze suddenly fell on a dish.
It was a steamed fish.
The delightful aroma permeated the air, while the color was just perfect.
Oneida noticed Jackson looking at this dish and felt slightly surprised.
She specially prepared steamed fish for Jackson.
Because in her previous life, Jackson loved steamed fish the mos
In their past lives, Jackson had even made this dish for Oneida.
Now, she presented the steamed fish right before Jackson.
