Chapter 1301 Attention To Spare
Penelope was thrilled when she heard Arielle scoffing. She chalked it up to Vinson’s decision to head for the guest
room instead of his shared bedroom with Arielle.
Her happiness was, however, marred with a hint of sorrow.
After Arielle’s departure, Vinson had not been back once. When Penelope asked Susanne about Vinson’s
disappearance, Susanne said she did not have the right to know about her son’s whereabouts and kept mum.
Consequently, Penelope could only wait patiently for Vinson to return home. When he finally showed up, it was with
Arielle in tow.
Despite his somewhat cold treatment of Arielle, Penelope found herself unsettled.
I need to buck up and win Vinson over. Now that Arielle’s back in the picture, they’ll see each other every
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtday. Susanne will be doing her best to help them reconcile as well, so I’m already at a disadvantage.
As the thought crossed her mind, Penelope hurried into the kitchen, determined to show off her newfound talent.
She believed in the saying that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.
To capture Vinson’s affection, she had diligently practiced her cooking over the past few days, hoping to serve him
a homecooked meal that surpassed anything Arielle could ever prepare.
She believed that her efforts had paid off.
Sadly, Vinson had not returned home since Arielle’s departure, so Penelope had not had a chance to show off her
improved cooking skills.
Now that he was finally back, she wanted to put her skills to the test and give him an unforgettable feast.
He’ll fall in love with my cooking, and then with me!
Penelope had conveniently forgotten the fact that Arielle was the boss of Maureen’s Kitchen. She was never a
match for the latter in terms of culinary prowess.
Right then, she was laser-focused on preparing a delectable meal that would change Vinson’s opinion of her.
With a smug smile curving her lips, Penelope waved off the chefs and housekeepers bustling around the kitchen.
She announced, “You may all head off. I’ll prepare dinner tonight.”
The kitchen staff had become familiar with Penelope’s character over the past few days. Though they detested her
orders, they could only swallow their indignity seeing as Vinson had brought her into the household.
With that, the chefs and housekeepers quickly dropped their tasks at hand and left the kitchen. They could not even
be bothered to greet Penelope properly.
Penelope wanted to tell them off for their impertinence. However, she was in a rush to prepare dinner for Vinson,
so she could only spare the staff a glare before getting to work.
Meanwhile, Arielle returned to her assigned guest room, only to realize that Vinson was present. The guest room
window was open; he had evidently climbed in from the outside.

someone discovers us like this?”
“Don’t worry. No one will know,” Vinson said while approaching her.
“What do you think Penelope’s feeling now?”
Arielle wanted to laugh at Penelope’s expression upon seeing her. She must’ve been elated when I wasn’t around,
thinking I left in a fit of jealous anger.
Vinson stared at Arielle and smirked. Then, he pulled her into his arms and gazed intently at her. “Why do you have
attention left to spare on someone else?”
He had missed her dearly during their separation. I can’t believe she’s bringing up another woman at a time like
this. The audacity!
Arielle lifted her head and met his hungry gaze. It was time for dinner, and she wanted to tear herself away from
the temptation of his company.
