Chapter 267
Natasha shrugged and sat at the dining table. She pulled the deviled eggs to her and said with a smile,
“Thank you for breakfast, darling. You’re so considerate!”
“That’s where you’re wrong. These eggs are mine.” Dahlia pulled the eggs back. “It’s been three years,
but I’ve yet to fall out of love with Dustin’s cooking. Besides, he knows I love deviled eggs.”
“Ms. Nicholson, stop thinking so highly of yourself. What’s in the past is just that–
the past. These eggs belong to me now.” Natasha didn’t back down. She dragged the eggs to herself a
gain.
“Ms. Harmon, robbing someone of something they love isn’t the best habit to have. These eggs have b
een cooked to my taste; they only suit me!”
“What makes you think I don’t like deviled eggs? I love anything Dustin cooks!”
“Hmph! Just because you like them doesn’t mean they suit you!”
“It’s up to me to decide whether they’re suitable!”
The conversation between the two women became increasingly heated as they dragged the te of de
viled eggs back and forth. Neither of them wanted to back down. It was as if they’d lose something prec
ious if they were to give in. Dustin felt a headacheing on as he watched them duke it out. Honestly,
he didn’t think he was worthy of their affection.
At the entrance to the guest bedroom, Caitlyn stuck her head out to peek at themotion. She asked
in confusion. “Max, what do you think Ms. Harmon and Ms. Nicholson are doing? Do they need
to act like this over some eggs?”
“Caitlyn, you’re too young to understand the intricacies of a rtionship between a man and a woman,
”
Maximus mysteriously said as he stroked his chin. “They’re not fighting over the eggs, but their dignity
as
women!”
“Dignity?” Caitlyn still didn’t get it.

“Dustin personally cooked those eggs; whoever gets to taste them first wins this round.” Maximus look
ed in awe. “As expected, he’s truly admirable–
beautiful women surround him, yet he remains unaffected by them.
Look, they’re about to get into a brawl, but Dustin still looks so calm and collected. He truly is someone
to look
up to!”
Dustin, with his sharp senses, heard this. He turned around to re at Maimus and Caitlyn. The two h
eads immediately shot back into the room. A few secondster, they sneaked out again.
“Dustin, you decide! Who do these eggs belong to?” After an inconclusive
argument, Natasha and Dahlia
turned to look at Dustin. They looked like they wouldn’t give up until they had the answer they wanted.
Faced with the toughest question he’d ever been asked, Dustin’s lips twitched, sweat beaded on his for
ehead.”
Uh these are my eggs!” he blurted out. He grabbed the te and scooped all the eggs into his mouth.
With
nothing left to fight over, the crisis had been averted.
“Hmph!” The two women red at each other before
turning away in opposite directions, still refusing to give
in to each other.
*As expected of Dustin–
only he would’ve thought of such a great idea!” Maximus was in awe of Dustin’s ability to avert such a
deadly crisis: he wanted to drop to his knees and worship the ground Dustin walked on. He was amazi
ng! Perhaps this was what a true pro was like.
Dustin was the first to break the silence after finishing the eggs. “Dahlia, did youe here for somethi
ng?”
“Do I have to have a purpose foring here?” Dahlia still looked miffed.
“Uh, no.” Dustin looked a little awkward.
“I came because we’re having guests; you need to meet them with me. In fact, you might make some
money from this. I don’t want people saying you’re leeching off me.” Dahlia gave Natasha a pointed loo
k as she spoke.
“What’s wrong with him leeching off someone? Others may not even have the chance to do so!” Natas
ha didn’t
bat an eye.
Before long, the women started squabbling again.
