Chapter 558 Let My Man Show His Face!
“Thanks, Miss Sinclair!” Winona smiled with curved eyes. She blew the heat off and picked up her spoon.
Oh, I can’t wait to dig into this bowl of goodness! Then, she eagerly scoop a dumpling and put it into her
mouth.
Winona knew the taste of the dumpling soup would not be too bad since she had been watching Elise
mixing the fillings of these dumplings. And she just so happened to be starving, so she had made up her
mind to finish the dumpling soup regardless of how bad it tasted. However, Winona felt her whole body
freeze as soon as she put the dumpling into her mouth.
About half a minute later, Winona, whose pupils were dilated and stayed statistically still, finally came
back to her senses. She covered her mouth, and in a trembling voice, she said, “Elise, I hate you! What if
I can’t find a bowl of dumpling soup as delicious as this ever again? What shall I do then!?”
This is delish! Winona did not expect that such a seemingly simple bowl of dumpling soup would be
enough to tingle her taste buds.
How can this be? I’m pretty sure I saw all the detailed steps of her cooking. There’s no secret ingredient
or recipe, but how can this taste so good?
The skin of the dumplings was as thin as paper and melted in the mouth. The beef was cooked to
perfection and the fresh, tender shrimps were seasoned nicely. All these ingredients harmonized with
each other and formed this bowl of goodness.
As soon as she finished saying that, Winona snuffled her nose and did not even bother with the
livestream anymore. One spoonful after another, she kept eating the dumplings.
Since Winona was born naturally with chubby cheeks, her cheeks would puff up as she ate. Her eating
demeanor looked more appetizing than some mukbangers from the mukbang videos. Moreover, it was
just in time for dinner. Tempted by Winona’s eating demeanor, the livestream’s viewers instantaneously
clicked on the purchase button in the application, searching for dumpling soup.
Kenneth looked hungry, and his eyes fell on Winona with malicious intent, just like the big bad wolf found
the little white rabbit.
As if she could feel her sixth sense tingling, Winona raised her head, and her eyes instantly met with
Kenneth’s waggish eyes.
After swallowing the dumpling in her mouth, Winona asked blankly, “What? Is there something on my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtface?”
“Don’t you know good things are meant to be shared?” Kenneth said cheekily.
“Huh? But I’ve already eaten this…” Winona said in a feeble manner.
“Give it to me, and I’ll pay you 100,” Kenneth said.
“I-It’s not about the money…” Winona uttered. She simply felt that it was rude of her to offer others the
food that she had eaten.
“I’ll give you 1,000!” Kenneth calmly increased his offering price.
“N-No…” However, Winona was already feeling slightly tempted. 1,000! That’s enough for me to buy that
bottle of facial treatment essence I’ve always wanted.
“10,000!”
“Deal!”
Fearing that Kenneth would go back on his words, Winona immediately pushed her bowl of leftover
dumplings along with her spoon to him.
At once, Kenneth transferred 10,000 into Winona’s account. Instead of hurriedly digging into the soup,
Kenneth simply held the spoon and put on an act.
After Winona gave up on her bowl of dumpling soup, she could only watch from the sidelines, drooling
over it.
Upon witnessing this, Elise could not stand much longer. She heaved out a long sigh and offered her
own bowl of dumpling soup to Winona. “Hey… I’m not hungry. I haven’t eaten mine yet. So, if you don’t
mind, you can—”
“No! No! I don’t mind!”
Without hesitation, Winona reached out and brought the bowl of dumpling soup over to herself before
Elise could finish her sentence.
Just as she was about to dig in, a hand suddenly reached over from the side and knocked the spoon out
of Winona’s grip.
THIS! This was exactly the moment Kenneth had been waiting for.
Immediately upon regaining her senses, Winona noticed the bowl of dumpling soup in front of her had
switched back to the one she had eaten before. This made her feel rather inexplicably annoyed. So, she
puffed up her cheeks and glared at Kenneth.
Putting the dumpling into his mouth, Kenneth chewed and swallowed it slowly. Then, he said with a half-
smile, “Don’t be too greedy, little girl. After all, it seems to me that you’d earned yourself a good bargain,
considering you get to eat the dumpling soup and earn 10,000 at the same time.”
There was a change in Winona’s facial demeanor after she heard what Matthew had said. His words
sound reasonable. Then, she lowered her head and looked down at the bowl of dumpling soup. Oh, no!
The soup’s getting cold! Once again, she quickly started digging in.
“Such a profiteer,” Elise, who had kept quiet, said sarcastically.
Pursing his lips, Kenneth gave out a faint smile. He simply kept quiet and acted as if he did not
understand the meaning behind Elise’s words.
Too indulged in her bowl of dumpling soup, Winona did not even notice the odd atmosphere between
these two at all. In just a few mouthfuls, she emptied her bowl. After that, she rubbed her belly and
burped with satisfaction.
“Elise, darling! I’m willing to be your manager and work for free for the rest of my life if I can eat this bowl
of goodness every day in the future!”
Elise laughed. “We’re still on livestream now… Now, all the viewers know it’s so easy to please you.”
“Huh? Oh! Right, right! I almost forgot!” Winona immediately picked up the leftover professionalism within
her. Then, she adjusted the angle of the phone and explained, “Okay! We’ll end our livestream for today.
Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you guys eat well and have a good rest. Elise… come on over and
bid everyone goodbye.”
With that, Elise faced the camera and smiled slightly. “Goodbye!”
Winona removed the phone from the stand. Just as she was about to turn off the livestream, someone
suddenly constantly rang the doorbell.
The constant ringing of the doorbell soon agitated Winona’s nerves. She trotted all the way to the door
and opened it.
However, Winona froze out of shock as soon as she saw the person standing outside the door.
“J-Jack Griffith!?”
A user, WolfDisguisedAsSheep, sent a carnival gift via livestream.
WolfDisguisedAsSheep: ‘I have sent you money! Let my man show his face!’
Shortly after, the fireworks special effects of the carnival gift sounded.
Only then did Winona snap back to her senses. And in a hurry, she turned off the livestream.
“I-I’m sorry, Jack…” Winona apologized, her voice trembling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDebuted when he was still a child, Jack had been very popular in the entertainment industry. In addition,
his charming appearance and strong acting skill earned him fans of all ages. Besides, he was a valuable
asset to his company, and he only participated in shows that had been carefully selected. What have I
done? I just accidentally blurted out his identity. Jack must be thinking I’m disrespecting him.
However, Jack did not seem to hear Winona’s apologies. He cut off her words. “Elise is inside, right?”
Kept nodding her head, Winona looked at Jack muddle-headed. “Yes.”
As a matter of fact, Winona was also a fan of Jack’s. I mean… which woman in her right mind wouldn’t
fall in love with a handsome and talented man like Jack?
Jack walked past Winona and headed into the villa as if it was his own house.
Then, he stopped in the living room. He turned his head and looked into the kitchen with an unreadable
facial expression.
Silently trailing after Jack, Winona broke into a cold sweat.
In Winona’s impression, Jack was gentle and humble. Even if he was not emitting a gentle aura, he
could only be regarded as aloof. However, he was currently shrouded with foul and evil foreboding air. It
was as if he would hound on human flesh at any second.
Could it be that he’s angry because I called out his name on the livestream without his consent just now?
After putting the utensils that Winona had used into the sink, Elise turned around and saw Jack. She felt
a little surprised. “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be filming?”
“I think you should know the reason I’m here,” Jack said, his tone icy cold.
Elise looked innocent. “I should?”
Why does this conversation sound like a couple’s argument?
Upon hearing that, Jack frowned and sighed irritably. “Why didn’t you tell me directly that you were doing
a livestream? Am I not your friend in your eyes?”
“Oh… you’re referring to that?” Elise let out a sigh of relief. With a faint smile, she said, “I never planned
to hide it from you. Besides, you’re here now, aren’t you?”
“Yeah, sure… I’m the last to know about it, that is,” Jack mumbled in dissatisfaction.
“Well… I was afraid it would affect your filming schedule, that’s all…” Elise interrupted with a smile. “By
the way, have you eaten dinner yet?”
“No…” Jack sighed and stopped giving Elise a hard time. Then, he took off his jacket and put it on the
sofa. “Make me a plate of beef stroganoff, and don’t go easy on the seasonings. My taste buds are
craving some strong flavors today.”
