    Chapter 712


    Kaylee was startled “Here?”


    ire nodded. “I saw him in the corridor. He might be partying with friends in another room.”


    Kaylee frowned “When I asked him this morning, he said he had work tonight.”


    ire said, ‘Maybe he’s here discussing work with someone else.”


    Kaylee frowning, suddenly stood up and rushed out


    ire, eyes downcast, gently stirred her teacup with the lid and softly asked Liam, ‘Do you like tea,


    Liam?”


    Liam seemed somewhat disappointed before Celeste replied


    He gave ire a nce and said indifferently. “It’s decent”


    ire thought she had found amon topic and started to discuss the taste and preparation of


    various teas with Liam veryfortably


    Liam listened quietly, his face expressionless, but he didn’t interrupt her


    This boosted iree’s confidence. She talked for a long time, but Liam didn’t respond at all.


    “So, Liam, do you prefer the taste of Twinings or Tazo? ire asked.


    “Twinings Liam said.


    ire was delighted “Actually, I like Twinings too. It has a strong orchid fragrance that is very pleasant,


    and the taste is mellow and sweet. Other teas always seem to have a stronger bitter taste


    Liam said inly, “Mainly because the tea eggs made from it are delicious.”


    ire was stunned


    Tea. You mean tea eggs?”

    Liam nodded and nced at her. “Haven’t you ever tried tea eggs boiled in Twinings?*


    ire turned pale


    Isn’t it wasteful to use tea that costs millions per kilogram to make tea eggs?


    She awkwardlyughed and said, “I haven’t tried it, but maybe I will next time.


    Liam said. “After boiling, soak it for a few hours, the taste is stronger.”


    “Are you skilled in cooking, Liam?” ire asked.


    Liam leaned in slightly closer to her.


    ire’s heart raced, and she listened carefully, only to hear Liam say in a low, deep voice, “This is a


    trick my wife taught me.


    ire’s expression suddenly froze.


    She gripped her fingers tightly, forcing augh before falling silent.


    Skyler had been observing their exchange. Initially, she felt hopeful seeing Liam asionally chat with


    ire, but ire suddenly became rigid and stopped talking.


    She was a bit anxious and whispered to Liam, “What did you say to ire?”


    Liam said, expressionless, “Nothing much, just talking about preferences.”


    Skyler was puzzled


    Would ire react this way to a chat about preferences?


    There were many people around, and she didn’t want to ask directly, so she whispered to him, “The


    company isn’t busytely. Try to find time to take ire out.”


    Liam nced at her and said. “Til arrange it.”


    Skyler was delighted It seemed that today’s setup wasn’t in vain, and Liam finally understood her


    intentions


    She picked up a piece of grilled lobster and ced it in Liam’s bowl, showcasing her limited maternal


    affection. “Eat more, this used to be your favorite when you were little *


    Liam didn’t respond.


    He didn’t like grilled lobster


    When he was little, he just liked being around Skyler, so he would ept whatever she gave him


    He always thought that if he acted more sensibly and obediently, she would love him as she loved


    Kaylee. But that wasn’t the case.


    Skyler was never as close to him as she was to Kaylee. Her attention to his mood was just to avoid her


    grandmother’s reprimands or to secure her own family’s interests. It was never out of genuine maternal


    concern
