CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 384: THE ICY HEARTTHROB WHO MELTED

Quinn Lockwood picked up the knife and instantly got into cooking mode. Her movements were nimble and swift, clean and neat. Even the simplest side dishes became exquisite under Quinn’s skillful hands.

Elias Sinclair saw that he couldn’t help much, so he quietly stayed to the side and watched Quinn, using his camera to capture every dish she made and her various looks while cooking.

It seemed they hadn’t taken a photo together yet.

The man placed the finished dishes on the dining table just in time to see Nina Sinclair come running over.

"Brother, it smells so good, and you didn’t even call me for such delicious food!" Nina propped her hands on the table, looking at the vibrant and exquisite dishes with envy.

"The servants said you already ate tonight." Elias frowned subtly when he saw Nina coming over, his tone somewhat cold.

Nina seemed completely oblivious to her brother’s slight change, cheerfully pulling out a chair and sitting next to the table, resting her chin on her hands, eagerly looking towards the kitchen.

"I can still eat a lot more. The food made by sister-in-law is so delicious, I want another meal."

Upon hearing this, Elias’s already cold face darkened further. Just as he was about to say something, Quinn brought over a bowl of soup.

"Nina, you came down, I was just about to call you after putting down the soup." Quinn quickly put down the soup and pushed other dishes towards Nina.

Nina took a deep breath, savoring the tantalizing aroma of the soup, her eyes glowing brighter. She picked up her chopsticks and swallowed, saying, "I can’t resist, I’m going to start."

Just as Nina was about to reach out with her chopsticks, Elias’s voice suddenly sounded beside her: "Wait."

Nina’s hand stopped mid-air, looking puzzled at her brother.

Elias moved to the seat beside Quinn, enclosing her in his embrace and slid the phone across the table to Nina.

"Turn on the camera." Although his tone was cold and commanding, there was an unnatural expression on his handsome face. His narrow eyes slightly drooped, avoiding Nina’s gaze.

A trace of surprise flashed in Nina’s eyes. She swallowed nervously and quickly picked up the phone.

Quinn was a bit confused about what Elias wanted to do. She blinked in puzzlement, looking at Elias with a perplexed expression.

"Got it, I also think we should capture this moment with a photo. Come on, sister-in-law, give us a smile." Nina blinked, unable to hide the smile on her face.

Quinn seemed to sense something unnatural about Elias’s hold. Although he usually held her tightly, this time felt a bit different. His arms seemed somewhat stiff.

"Don’t drift off, sister-in-law, you can look at brother later, just smile now." Nina teased Quinn, rapidly pressing the shutter to capture the subtle changes in their expressions.

"Hey, Savannah, do you see something on my brother’s face?" Nina’s eyes suddenly gleamed, frowning slightly and pointing to her left cheek.

Quinn paused momentarily and quickly turned to look at Elias, who had also turned to look at her. As their eyes met, an inexplicable, ambiguous atmosphere seemed to ripple in the air.

Nina nodded in satisfaction, capturing more than ten photos in rapid succession. When the two looked away, she snapped her fingers.

"Perfect."

"Well, you guys go ahead and eat. I suddenly remembered I haven’t finished my book yet. Oh, brother, I’ll take your phone first. There seem to be some flaws in the photos, I need to fix them." Realizing she might be spoiling the mood, Nina quickly stood up, grinned, and ran off.

Elias raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint pleasure showing in his eyes as if satisfied with Nina’s performance.

Being held in Elias’s embrace for so long, Quinn started to feel a bit uncomfortable. Tempted by the aroma of the food, she was already hungrily holding back.

She moved slightly, trying to remind Elias to let her go, staring hungrily at the food on the table, swallowing.

"Let’s eat." Perhaps noticing Quinn’s discomfort, Elias released his arms, said lowly, and then picked up chopsticks to place a piece of fish in Quinn’s bowl.

Nina stealthily hid at the corner of the living room, zooming her camera to focus on the dining area.

She successfully captured the intimate interaction between the two, satisfied as she put away the phone with an "aunt’s smile" on her face and headed upstairs.

She had to report to Grandpa about her brother and sister-in-law’s affectionate daily life.

Elias and Quinn finished their meal and soon after returned to their room, receiving the phone that Nina sent back.

"Brother, I’ve edited the photos, I’m going to sleep now." Nina playfully winked, left the phone, and hopped out of the room.

Elias opened the album to look at the photos taken earlier, a faint joy showing in his eyes, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

He got up, went to the computer, and lightly clicked the mouse, logging into his X account, uploading several photos with Quinn.

There were no captions, only loving photos radiating a deep affection.

Nina had edited the photos with a soft, warm tone. The handsome man and beautiful woman gazing tenderly at each other were very pleasing to the eye, their matching blue loungewear looking like custom-made couples’ outfits.

Even though it was late at night when Elias posted the photos, many night owl netizens forwarded, commented, liked them, and crazily tagged Quinn.

"Your husband is flaunting love again, it’s not even Valentine’s Day yet, please give us single people a break."

"I can’t believe the noble and cool Mr. Sinclair is a love-showing maniac. Since going public, he’s shown his love three times."

Though Elias had a massive fanbase comparable to popular idol Dylan Quinn, due to his aloof and proud personality and his extremely prestigious status, his fans only adored him from a distance, never daring to chatter in his X comments.

But now it’s different.

The cold, domineering Adonis Sinclair seemed to have been melted by Quinn.

No matter if he never replies to comments or interacts with fans, just from his released photos and dotingly showing love acts, one could see that this icy, domineering boss, deep inside, is as gentle as water.

The female fans were going crazy.

Being loved by a man like Mr. Sinclair, isn’t that just pure happiness!

Cameron Grant was still in his office, not having gone home yet.

He sat at his desk, watching Elias Sinclair’s X updates, clicking the mouse to like it.
