“Paulina Johnston is right! Everyone has a sense of belonging, even though Flynn is rich, he wants to wash away the fact that he was abandoned by the Clark family.”
“Exactly! No matter how rich Flynn becomes, he can’t resist the powerful background and influence of the Clark family. After all, they have top connections in the military, politics, and business! Who wouldn’t be proud to be part of the Clark family?”
“That’s right. Adrianna Noble has been dead for ten years. People need to move on. Only fools would remain trapped in hatred. Just wait and see. Flynn will give in!”
The Kaur family members echoed Paulina Johnston’s words, believing that Flynn would eventually return to the Clark family.
After all, if it were them, they would definitely return to the Clark family. Flynn was no exception.
With this thought in mind, they were all looking forward to the meeting between the father and son tomorrow…
At Rose Sharp’s villa.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you staring at me like that? Is the barbecue I bought not enough for you to eat?”
“I even bought ten kilograms of oysters.”
Rose Sharp carried bags of barbecue and placed them on the table.
But Flynn kept staring at her with a smile.
Flynn shook his head helplessly and picked up a skewer of lamb. “I’m so disappointed, Ms. Sharp. I thought you would cook for me, but instead, you brought back takeout to eat.”
“Forget it. I’d rather drink plain water than eat your cooking.”
“Are you making fun of me again?” Rose Sharp frowned and said irritably, “Try working overtime at the company and see if you have time to cook.”
“Don’t be so cocky. In a few months, you won’t be able to make fun of me anymore.”
“Oh? Did you enroll in a cooking class?” Flynn raised an eyebrow as he swallowed the whole skewer of lamb.
Rose Sharp smiled slightly. “Molly George agreed that she would come to teach me how to cook every week.”
“Molly?” Flynn was slightly surprised and smiled. “Her culinary skills are indeed as good as Scarlet Wong’s, but why do you want to learn this?”
“You could easily hire a chef since Ms. Sharp’s time is valuable, and wasting time could cost millions.”
“Is Ms. Sharp trying to win over someone’s heart by cooking?”
Rose Sharp coldly replied, “What does it have to do with you? It’s not you.”
She picked up a lamb kebab, took a bite, and glanced at Flynn without being noticed.
“Ah! So disappointing!” Flynn sighed dramatically, clutching his heart. “I did everything to please a woman, but she pleases other men.”
“Oh! My heart hurts!”
Rose Sharp covered her mouth and chuckled, lightly kicking him on the leg with a dark expression.
“Who said learning how to cook is about winning over a man’s heart?”
“Such chauvinistic thinking!”
“Huh? Really?” Flynn sat up straight in disbelief. “A billionaire CEO who only likes women?!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Rose Sharp pinched Flynn hard and gritted her teeth. “Can’t you be serious? Can we have a proper conversation?”
“What kind of alcohol do you want?”
Rose Sharp stood up.
“Whiskey, beer, and wine,” Flynn wiped his mouth and then replied.
“All of them? Are you crazy? If you get drunk, I won’t be able to handle you!” Rose Sharp widened her eyes in disbelief.
“Who said I need your help?” Flynn stretched lazily. “If I get drunk, I’ll just sleep here!”
“No! This place can’t accommodate you!” Rose Sharp waved her hands repeatedly and walked towards the liquor cabinet.
Flynn smiled and opened a large bag, exclaiming, “Wow! These are really ten kilograms of oysters! They’re so big!”
“Ms. Sharp bought so many. Aren’t you afraid something might happen?”
Remembering what Flynn said last time, Rose Sharp blushed slightly and rolled her eyes.
“Eat your share. They’re not all for you. I want to taste them too.”
“That won’t do either. What if we both…”
“Get lost!” Rose Sharp was completely speechless and annoyed. “If you keep talking like this, I’ll kick you out!”
This guy was unbelievable!
He would say whatever came to mind.
“Kick me out? But I haven’t touched your legs yet. I’m not leaving!” Flynn acted like a rascal.
Rose Sharp opened the liquor cabinet and turned her head to look at Flynn with a cold smile.
“Dealing with Takanori Tokugawa is just a piece of cake for you, isn’t it? Do you think you can fool me?”
Flynn immediately panicked. He couldn’t miss this opportunity after going through so much trouble.
“It’s unfair! Truly unfair!”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gathered all my strength for that deadly blow.”
“If that move didn’t work, I would have definitely lost!”
Flynn knew that Rose Sharp would definitely suspect something.
But it was his fault. Takanori Tokugawa was too weak.
Rose Sharp seemed convinced and seemed uninterested in pursuing the matter further. She didn’t respond anymore.
She took out two bottles of liquor from the cabinet and sat next to Flynn, pouring two glasses.
“Have some red wine in case Scarlet Wong suspects you when you go home,” Rose Sharp smirked.
Flynn didn’t pay much attention and drank half a glass in one gulp. “You know nothing, Ms. Sharp. Men become more fierce after drinking.”
“Ew! Go home and tell Scarlet Wong!” Rose Sharp reached out to punch Flynn’s shoulder, but he dodged by leaning sideways.
Her fist landed squarely on his crotch area, causing her some pain.
“Ouch!” Flynn groaned in agony as he lay on the couch.
Rose Sharp panicked instantly.
She had hit him quite hard with that punch. If she incapacitated him, it would be troublesome.
But as she squatted down to ask if he was okay, Flynn’s mouth curled into a mischievous smile as he smacked her buttocks!
“Smack!”
“This is for not keeping your word!”
“Smack!”
“This is for retaliating against me using underhanded tactics!”
“Smack!”
“This is for doubting me all the time!”
The sound of slaps on her buttocks echoed through the living room as Rose Sharp screamed in anger.
“Ah! Flynn! I’m going to kill you! Let go! Hmm…”
Rose Sharp’s body quivered in frustration.
She had completely lost it!
Her beautiful eyes were ablaze with shock and fury.
Throughout her life, which man ever dared to cross her? Only Flynn! And he had done it twice!
A wide grin spread across Flynn’s face.
He had taken more than enough of Rose Sharp’s tantrums lately and had been itching for a chance to retaliate!
“Are you still going to be mad at me after this? Tell me!” Flynn feigned severity.
“Just wait and See. I’ll-”
Before Rose could finish her threat, Flynn landed two more slaps, causing her body to tremble violently.
“I’m not mad anymore, I swear!” Rose Sharp quickly yielded.
Flynn burst into laughter, “I’ll let go, but you have to promise not to fight back.”
“Fine… just let me go. Let go!”
Flynn released her, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.
“You jerk! I’ll strangle you!” Rose exploded, launching a flurry of punches at Flynn before reaching for his neck.
“Ms. Sharp, a big boss like you shouldn’t go back on your word,” Flynn teased, tilting his head aside to dodge Rose Sharp’s grasp.
The unexpected move caught Rose off guard, and she found herself tumbling into Flynn’s embrace.
With his hands instinctively landing on her waist, the soft sensation sent a rush of heat through his mind…
