CHAPTER 681: CHAPTER 681: SO HAPPY I COULD FLY (PART 1)

Raina didn’t want to sit here alone, just in case Miss Lowell came over, still upset and looking for trouble. Although she didn’t mind, she was too lazy to deal with trivial matters constantly.

So she said, "I’ll go with you."

"Alright." Elias Hawthorne didn’t refuse, leading Raina to the kitchen.

...

Elias took Raina to the small kitchen of the villa he lived in.

Even though it was just a small kitchen, the refrigerator had a full variety of vegetables, and all the dishes Raina had mentioned were available.

"Do you want me to help?" Raina asked lazily, leaning against the bar, showing no intention of entering the kitchen.

"No need, you just wait here." Elias took some grapes out of the fridge, washed them, and handed them over to Raina on a plate: "Just a snack."

Raina took a grape, popped it in her mouth, and mumbled, "I never thought you’d have such a domestic side."

Elias took out a potato to prepare it and said, "There’s a lot you don’t know, so you must explore it well, alright? You’ll find your man is a treasure."

"Pfft—" Raina couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Elias, you shameless man, bragging about being a treasure."

Elias watched Raina eating grapes one after another, his eyes darkening slightly, his Adam’s apple moving up and down, but his voice remained calm: "Aren’t I?"

Raina thought for a moment and nodded, "You really are; your identities are so many, it’s not just fun taking them off, it’s fun putting them on too, it’s like high-end cosplay with all kinds of storylines, it couldn’t be more exciting."

Elias raised an eyebrow slightly, "Since you insist so strongly, Raina, I must satisfy you."

When Raina saw the playful gleam in his eyes, she realized she had dug herself a hole with her words. She quickly said, "I was just talking for fun, I didn’t mean anything by it."

"Hmm, I know." Elias’s lips curved into a smile.

Of course, Raina knew what Elias meant, angrily saying, "I don’t think you do know."

"Who says so?" Elias finished preparing a potato and leaned close to Raina’s ear, his warm breath spreading over her ear, his deep, magnetic voice whispering, "I know my dear Raina is eager to play... all kinds of cosplay with me." Pausing, he added, "Actually, I’m quite looking forward to it."

With that, he couldn’t resist taking her earlobe between his lips, lightly licking it.

"Get away from me! That’s disgusting!" Raina shoved him away angrily, covering her damp earlobe with her hand, her face flushed, thinking, How can this man go on!

Elias watched Raina’s reddened face, his thin lips curling higher, his eyes full of mirth.

Raina tried to keep a straight face for a while but couldn’t hold it anymore; nevertheless, she couldn’t help but give Elias a fierce glare.

Quinn Thorne snuck in quietly and saw this very scene. He couldn’t help covering his eyes, groaning, "Oh my god, my titanium dog eyes are going blind."

Who would have thought his boss, when falling in love, would be such a fool?

Claire Lowell also came over and upon seeing this scene, her eyes were almost overflowing with jealousy. She pinched her palm hard, using the pain to control herself, trying several times to push it down, and finally forced a smile, saying, "Um... I’m here to apologize to Alliance Leader Rivers."
