Chapter 179 Can You Really Cook?
Old Mr. Hart’s eyes widened at Nathaniel Hart’s words.
“Hmph, why would I be afraid of you? Your chess skills are terrible,” Old Mr. Hart said, glaring at Nathaniel.
“Give the chess piece back to Sofia and let her play with me
Stop causing trouble.”
“Grandpa, do you think I can just stand by while you bully my wife?” Nathaniel said.
He knew all too well about Old Mr. Hart’s poor sportsmanship in chess.
He was notorious for taking back moves, doing whatever it took to win.
Because of this, few people were willing to play with him anymore.
Nathaniel knew that Old Mr. Hart w to bully her relentlessly.

Chapter unlocked!
There was no way he could allow this.
He squeezed Sofia’s waist and said, “Sofia, I’m hungry.”
Sofia’s eyes lit up instantly. She had come downstairs intending to go to the kitchen but got roped into playing chess with Old Mr. Hart.
Now that Nathaniel had given her a reason to escape, she wasn’t going to miss it.
“I’ll
go
to the kitchen right now. Tell me what you want to eat,” she said.
“Anything you make, I’ll love,” Nathaniel said.
Sofia then turned to Old Mr. Hart, “Grandpa, what would you like to eat?”
Although Old Mr. Hart didn’t want Sofia to leave, he couldn’t resist the allure of her cooking.
After a moment’s consideration, he said, “Beef stew.”

Sofia agreed and quickly ran to the kitchen.
Nathaniel watched her leave with a smile.
After Sofia’s figure disappeared, he said, “Grandpa, you always
why are you bullying her now?”
“I am not,” Old Mr. Hart grumbled.
He cleared his throat, hiding his small guilty conscience.
me not to bully Sofia. So
As Nathaniel had guessed, Old Mr. Hart was indeed taking advantage of having Sofia around as a chess partner. He didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
Had Nathaniel not shown up, he would have played several more games with Sofia.
Nathaniel decided not to expose him further, thinking he’d talk to Sofia later about not letting Old Mr. Hart push her around so much.
After easily defeating Old Mr. Hart in two moves, Nathaniel stood up and said, “Grandpa, I’m going to help Sofia.”
Old Mr. Hart looked at the chessboard, feeling even more annoyed.
This brat was more trouble than he was worth. Just as he recovered, he started to irritate him again.
Looking at the chessboard, Old Mr. Hart suddenly felt very lonely.
Though he was pleased to see Nathaniel protecting Sofia and their strong relationship, he missed his own wife dearly.
his side.
Nathaniel was only confident because he had a wife by his
When his wife was around, she had always protected him.
Quietly putting away the chessboard, Old Mr. Hart stood up and went upstairs.
He needed to talk to his wife, telling her to wait for him so they could play chess together again.
In the kitchen, Sofia had already started making the beef stew for Old Mr. Hart.

She used a special method to handle the beef fat without affecting the taste and texture, making it healthier for Old Mr. Hart.
She also used a special cooking technique to make the beef tender, so it wouldn’t be too hard to chew.
Nathaniel walked over, wrapping his arms around Sofia’s waist, “Sofia, you’re amazing.”
He knew his grandfather’s personality well–an imposing, unyielding man in all things, except when it came to chess, where he became quite childish.
Sofia knew what he meant. She looked up at Nathaniel and said, “It’s not hard. Grandpa is very cute.”
Truth be told, she rarely met anyone worse at chess than herself.
Winning made her happy, even if Old Mr. Hart kept taking back his moves.
The angle Sofia was looking up at Nathaniel was perfect for him to lean down and kiss her.
Which he did.
It was a light kiss but enough to make Sofia blush.
She hadn’t realized that kissing could be addictive.
At least Nathaniel seemed addicted to it.
She gave him a sideways glance, making Nathaniel’s throat tighten.
Unable to resist, he leaned in for another kiss.
Sofia, unable to handle her shyness, raised her hand to push Nathaniel away.
“Stop distracting me. I need to finish cooking.” she said.
Nathaniel didn’t leave but stood by and asked, “Can I help with anything?”
Sofia looked at him and said, “Can you really cook?”
“I can learn,” Nathaniel said.

Chapter 17 Can You Really Cook?
He had never cooked before, but he believed nothing could be too difficult for him.
Cooking should be no exception. Confidently, he fetched an apron.
Sofia thought about his health and realized she didn’t need to be as strict as before.
“Alright, make something simple–baked potatoes. I’m sure you can handle it,” she said.
Nathaniel gave her a look, feeling underestimated.
“Sofia, you only want me to do that?” he asked
“Make it first,” Sofia replied.
Nathaniel nodded, grabbed some potatoes, and headed to the sink to wash them.
He was determined to prove that nothing, not even cooking, could stump him.
