Chapter 25 Invite to a Meall
Ariella was taken aback.
Has Jovan always felt that all of this was because of Reddie up until now?
She found her past laughable and pathetic.
“Yes, I would seek revenge for Reddie, no matter what!”
Since she couldn’t communicate, she didn’t want to waste her energy explaining.
Jovan gritted his teeth and said “good!” three times in a row.
Did Ariella go to such an extent for the dog, not just to resent him, mock him, and provoke him?
Did you force him to admit that he had made a mistake?
That was a flight of fancy!
He would not let her have her way!
Immediately, he turned around and looked at the police.
“Lailah’s lawyer would go along with her.”
After saying that, he picked up Leonel and said, “Leo, we are going too. Since you like Layla so much, I will definitely not let anything happen to her.”
Ariella had already anticipated this outcome, so she didn’t have much emotion.
But…
Kaleb spoke up in a timely manner, “To prevent Mr. Hensley from feeling lonely, I had the legal team from the Cooley Group. If they got bored, they could accompany Mr. Hensley to play mahjong.”
Jovan’s face instantly turned gloomy.
Kaleb remained calm and aloof, as cold as the snow on the mountains, as if the joke just now was not said by him.
Although Ariella had prepared herself mentally and was not angry with Jovan, who wouldn’t want to have a great time trashing the scum?
She now only felt triumphant and mockingly laughed, “Mr. Hensley, you better leave quickly, or else you won’t be able to join the mahjong table and you’ll get so angry that you’ll flip the table and prevent others from playing.”
Raul made a funny face at them and said, “The bad guys were caught!”
Jovan was so angry that his whole body seemed to be emitting flames.
But Lailah was taken away by the police, and he had no intention of wasting any more words. He just snorted coldly.
“You’d better not regret it! Otherwise, even if you kneel down and beg for forgiveness, I won’t spare you a second glance!”
Ariella sneered, “Mr. Hensley has always been blind, whether you see it or not, who cares?”
Jovan had taken a few steps forward when he heard the words. His body paused for a moment, but then he realized that this provocation was childish. He snorted coldly and quickly walked away.
Ariella found her place again at Jovan’s for the first time, and her mood was like getting on a jet.
She instinctively turned around and high–fived Kaleb.
“Yay!”

Although Kaleb was aloof, he was not a killjoy. He actually raised his hands and high–fived her to celebrate.

There was a hint of a smile on Ariella’s face.
Unlike the forced smiles in the past.
At this moment, she seemed to be able to gather all the light in the world onto herself.
Fascinating to behold.
Kaleb’s gaze deepened a few moments.
Hands, gently clenched.

The farce came to an end.
Elena stepped forward and apologized to everyone.
Originally, the possibility of a child falling into the water was also within the scope of the kindergarten’s consideration. Prior to this, the teacher had also provided appropriate psychological counseling.
Because the water was not deep, during the summer, children would often play in it.
So I didn’t expect this awkward situation to arise.
The activity had to be disbanded.
Elena gave Ariella a set of kindergarten uniform and asked her to change, so as to avoid catching a cold in wet clothes. Afterwards, she also comforted her with a few words.
After Ariella thanked once again, she prepared to leave with Raul.
Surprisingly, Kaleb’s car was waiting at the door.
“Mr. Cooley.”
She hurried over, thinking there was working to be assigned.
Kaleb also opened the car window and spoke before she could ask.
“Get on the car, I will take you back.”
Ariella paused for a moment and said, “Huh?”
Kaleb has always been aloof and seemingly not good at explaining: after a moment of silence, he finally spoke.
“The event today was held because of my donation.”
“This is an innocent disaster, and I am somewhat involved.”
“It was also necessary to take you
home.”
Ariella quickly waved her hand, “No, no need, this matter of mine, I…”
Raul, on the other hand, clapped excitedly and said, “Mom, I also want to go with Uncle.”
Assistant Mike quickly got off the car and opened the door, saying, “Ms. Mueller, please get in the car. Don’t let Mr. Cooley’s kindness go to waste.”
Ariella was still hesitating, but Raul had already climbed into the car and obediently sat next to Kaleb.
Ariella:“…”
She could only get on the car.

On the way back.
Raul chattered non–stop.
But Kaleb had a response to every word he said.
Ariella was somewhat surprised, “Mr. Cooley seemed to be very good at soothing children.”
The sunlight outside fell on his face.
He had an extra layer of soft light filter in his expression.
At the same time, he was handsome and gentle.
“This is considered relatively simple compared to dealing with company matters.”
Originally, this was simple.
Jovan used to always say that there were too many things to do in the company and he was too busy, taking care of the children was naturally a woman’s job.

She let out a soft sigh and hung her head down.
She had said before that Jovan was blind, but if you think about it, she was also blind.
“Are you still upset about the kindergarten incident?”
Ariella shook her head, “No.”

She looked up again and only then did she realize that his gaze was incredibly deep, like a huge whirlpool that could easily suck her in.
She quickly averted her gaze and leaned back on the chair.
Seemed a little flustered.
Seeing her like this, Kaleb’s tone softened a bit.
“This is not a company, you can feel free here, no need to be so formal.”
Ariella lowered her head apologetically.
I used to always consider him as my boss.
Thinking back now, Kaleb was actually a pretty nice person.
She murmured a low “hmm“.
The car stopped, and she got out of the car with Raul.
Raul let go, hugged Kaleb’s arm and acted coquettishly.
“Uncle, didn’t you say you wanted to see my Lego? You didn’t keep your word.”
“You said you wanted to play chess with me, how could you deceive a child?”
Kaleb:“…”
Ariella quickly intervened, “Rauly, Mr. Cooley was busy, don’t make a fuss.”
“Mom, do you also think that he didn’t keep his word, did he?”
Ariella:“…”
Kaleb seemed to be out of options, his deep gaze falling upon Ariella’s face.
“Was it convenient?”
Ariella glanced at the stubborn Rauly, then looked at Kaleb, who had a calm expression as if he didn’t want the child to be disappointed.
A big fake smile appeared on her face, “If Mr. Cooley had time, I would also invite you for a meal to express my gratitude.”
Kaleb got up and got off the car.“Good.”
Ariella quickly called them upstairs to go home.
Her house was cleaned very neatly, and it seemed like everything was carefully arranged.
It made people feel very comfortable.
Even though the house was small, being inside it felt very relaxing.
Raul became familiar with Mike and took him to see his Lego.

And Ariella had already started busying herself in the kitchen.
Kaleh warched the figure constantly moving in the kitchen and set down the book he had taken out absentmindedly.
He walked to the kitchen door and asked, ‘Do you need any help?”
Ariella was contemplating new dish ideas when she got started.
“No, it’s not necessary…”
Kaleb had entered the kitchen.
The kitchen was small, and the two people seemed a bit crowded.

Kaleb adapted quickly and rolled up his sleeves to prepare to wash the vegetables.
Ariella didn’t stop him since he seemed so easygoing.
After seeing him wash the vegetables skillfully and thoroughly, I couldn’t help but ask, “Does Mr. Cooley cook often?” Kaleb nodded, “I lived alone and occasionally cooked.”
“Oh.”
Ariella took out the onions, ginger, and garlic, and was about to chop them when she suddenly asked, “Mr. Cooley, do you have any dietary restrictions?”
Kaleb looked at the wild vegetables she had taken out in her hand and said, “This dandelion is not good, I am allergic to it.”
Ariella paused for a moment.
Did he avoid dandelions?
How to be like Jovan?
Back in the day, when she fell off the cliff, Jovan saved her, but he got scratched by the dandelions on the mountain. He had a severe allergic reaction and was also taken for treatment.
“Wasn’t it strange?”
Not getting a response, Kaleb glanced at her.
Ariella snapped out of her reverie and began to chop the onions. “No.”
Kaleb handed over the lettuce.
Ariella was absent–minded and, when reaching out, she didn’t pay attention and held onto the man’s fingertips.
The lettuce was cold.
But his fingers were warm.
Her face was like being electrocuted, and she quickly pulled back.
The lettuce fell to the ground.
She hurriedly went to pick it up in a panic.
Kaleb, however, was one step ahead of her and picked up a few leaves. Just as she bent down, he happened to look up.
Two people were within arm’s reach.
I could almost feel the breath of the other person spraying onto my face.
The usually cautious and reserved Kaleb’s earlobes turned red, and then he picked up all the remaining lettuce leaves.
He washed it again, and the sound of water splashed.
The air fryer next to it made a “ding” sound, and the roasted sweet potato was ready.
Ariella immediately put on gloves and chose a sweet potato, smiling as she handed it over, “Mr. Cooley, would you like
to taste it?”
The hot sweet potato was split open and still steaming.
Take a gentle bite.
