Linda looked a lot like Ste Grace before she underwent surgery, so she was always worried.


    Allen could tell that Ste was worried, so he said, “I have no choice. Even if I don’t bring her here this time, she would stille here herself secretly. It’s safer to have her here by my side.”


    “Allen, have you ever thought about having a rtionship with Linda?” Ste askedtentativelywhile she cleanedthe fish.


    “Linda is a bit childish. I don’t really like immature girls. I like women who are mature, so it’s impossible for me to be with her. I just regard her as my younger sister,” Allen exined.


    “She does seem a bit immature. She likes handsome men very much,” Ste said with a smile.


    Allen also smiled, “When she sees Jasperter, she’ll probably be disappointed because he’s your man.”


    Ste shrugged and said, “As long as the others are unaware of my rtionship with Grandpa.”


    “Do you mind sharing the specific reason behind that?” Allen helped her to wash the vegetables.


    “I’m afraid that it would bring unnecessary trouble if someone were to find out that I’m Ste. It has happened before, that’s why I’m a little scared,” Ste said ambiguously.


    “Are you talking about Frederick?” Allen could guess it. After all, he had seen Frederick Addington on the ind.


    Ste did not deny it. She nodded and said, “He is my ex-husband. I already have a lot of grudges with him. Now, we are enemies. Did you know? Back then, he injected me with a virus so that he could keep me by his side.I had to be injected once every three months. Otherwise, I would die from the pain afflicted by the virus.”


    “He what?” Allen frowned and looked at Ste with a distressed expression.


    “Sean saved me. After that, I changed my appearance and came back again. Do you want to see a photo of how I used to look?” Ste asked.


    “Yeah.”


    Ste wiped her hands and logged in to her previous Facebook page. There were only a few photos in it as she didn’t like to take photos. She opened one and showed it to Allen.The picture was taken by Eli Wayne back when she was still a doctor. It was a photo of the two of them.


    Seeing the bright smile on Eli’s face, her gaze turned gloomy.


    At that time, Eli was an unrestrained, lively, and cheerful person, but now…


    “Linda looks very simr to you back then,I would say about 60%,” Allen nced back and forth between Ste and the photo.


    “Linda looks a lot like me. Frederick will definitely be able to guess the rtionship between Linda and me. He has suspected before that I am Ste.


    If he knew that Mr. Turner is my grandfather, he would definitely know my true identity. That was why I did not wantto let others know about our rtionship. That way, even if Frederick were to discover that Ste was Mr. Turner’s granddaughter, he wouldn’t know that it was me,” Ste exined.


    “Understood. No wonder you’re so wary of Frederick. The vegetables are all washed now. What else do you need me to do?” Allen changed the topic and asked.


    “It’s okay, I can do the rest myself,” Ste said. She marinated the pork ribs first. Then, she ced them on a tray, which was covered with aluminum foil, and ced them into the oven.


    Next, she seasoned the fish fillets with some salt and pepper.


    Then, she covered the fish fillet with egg and flour. Before frying the fish fillets in oil, she removed the excess powder.


    While the fish was frying, she made a dipping sauce for the fish fillet by using garlic, parsley, and some mayonnaise.


    Ste then cut the broli and potatoes into chunks. After seasoning them with some spices, she ced them into the lower rack of the oven.


    Then, she decided to make some spaghetti. She cooked the spaghetti in boiling water and drained it under the water.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Next, she stir-fried the spaghetti with some garlic, butter, onions, and mushrooms. Spaghetti Aglio Olio was soonplete.


    Thest dish was steak. She patted the surface of the steak with a kitchen towel. Then, she simply seasoned it with some salt and pepper. She pan fried the steak for 5 minutes on each side. By adding some butter, garlic and rosemary, a medium well steak was done.


    As soon as she finished preparing the meal and brought them to the table, Jasper Milton called her on the phone.


    Ste picked up the call.


    “Is the meeting over?” Ste asked softly.


    “Yeah, where are you?” Jasper asked.


    She guessed that Jasper had known where she wasas his men would definitely have informed him, “I’m at Allen’s house,it is not far from our ce. Would you like toe over?”


    “If I don’t go, what time will youe home?” Jasper asked.


    “I’lle home after dinner, probably around 8 o’clock,” Ste answered.


    “Then I’lle over to pick you up. See youter.”


    Jasper hung up the phone. She seemed to sense a hint of displeasure from his voice. She didn’t know it was because of her or because of the military affairs.


    “I’ve already called Grandpa Turner. He’ll be here in ten minutes,” Allen said with a smile.


    “It seems that I’ve made the dishes too quickly. The dishes are getting cold, I’ll heat themter,” Ste said with a smile.


    “Where is Jasper?Is he noting?” Allen nced at Ste’s mobile phone.


    “He should still be at the military base, which is quite far from here. It’s probably toote for him toe over for dinner.”


    “The military base? Isn’t he a businessman?” Allen asked in surprise.


    “He is a soldier,” Ste said proudly.


    “Oh, I remember. When he was on the ind, he was very good at fighting and his shooting skills were excellent. At that time, I thought he had learned it for self-defense. It turns out that he is a soldier. That’s good,” Allenughed and said, “I’ll help you to take the dishes back to the kitchen.”


    “Okay, thank you.”


    Allen helped to bring the dishes back to the kitchen. Ste then heard a knock on the door and guessed that the rest of them hade back, so she started to heat the dishes.


    “Allen, let me tell you, the two handsome guys whom I metst time are the most handsome men I’ve seen. I haven’t met anyone more handsome than them even though I had wandered around for the whole day,” Linda startedining as soon as she entered the house.


    “Then, you’re in luck today. One of them ising overter,” Allen said and nodded to Mr. Turner with a smile, “Hello, Grandpa Turner.”


    “Where is she?” Mr. Turner asked about Ste.


    “She’s in the kitchen.”


    Ste walked out of the kitchen and saw Mr. Turner. She smiled and nodded, “Mr. Turner.”


    Mr. Turner was a little disappointed that Ste was not addressing him as her grandfather.


    “The dishes will be ready in five more minutes,” Ste said with a smile and turned back into the kitchen.


    Linda showed Allen a thumbs-up and said, “Your girlfriend is so great and she even knows how to cook. Unlike me, I don’t know how to cook at all.”


    Allen patted on her thumb and said, “Do you think that she’s more beautiful than you are?”


    “She is, but I’m not that bad either,” Linda was honest.


    “Do you think that her figure is better than yours?” Allen continued to ask.


    “That’s subjective. However,generally speaking,she does have a nice body,” Linda said with a smile and showed him a thumbs-up, “You don’t have to keep teasing me like this. You do have good taste, okay?”


    “The handsome guy that you like is her husband,”Allen finally came to his point.


    Linda was speechless.
