My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 682

The three people at the table were instantly stunned.

What was that aroma?

What kind of food was this?

How could it possibly smell this good?

Oliver, Selena, and Marisa had all enjoyed a life of luxury for years. They had tasted the finest cuisine around, yet the fragrance of these dishes had them completely caught off guard.

It didn't help that it was already dinnertime, and the Hortons were known for maintaining disciplined eating habits, keeping their portions modest. As a result, they were often genuinely hungry by mealtime.

Now, hunger was gnawing at them, and these mouth-watering dishes were making it unbearable. All three couldn't help but fix their gazes on the plates in front of them.

On the table were hearty dishes: a rich beef stew, slow-cooked pork belly, meatballs in a savory sauce, and even a simple stir-fried vegetable dish that looked unusually fresh and flavorful. And was that a casserole with layers of seafood and mushrooms?

They all swallowed hard.

Keira raised an eyebrow, not even bothering to look their way. Instead, she turned to Lewis and old Mrs. Horton. “Lewis, Grandma, let's eat.”

Then she glanced over at Fiona.

Fiona instantly caught the hint and hurried off to the kitchen to grab her own portion.

She couldn't wait any longer!

How could Miss Olsen's cooking be this delicious?

The dining room suddenly grew very quiet…

Keira, Lewis, and old Mrs. Horton ate with their usual grace, though even old Mrs. Horton indulged in extra helpings, savoring the dishes with obvious delight.

Selena awkwardly attempted to break the silence. “Uh…”

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she instinctively had to swallow another mouthful of saliva. It was as if her body wasn't under her control anymore. She felt utterly humiliated.

Keira shot her a look. “Hungry?”

Selena quickly waved her hands. “I'm not… I mean, I'm not hungry.”

Oliver and Marisa felt embarrassed for their daughter, struggling to watch her stumble through her reply.

They both turned away at the same time, and Oliver decided to speak up. “Well, Grandma, the food here today is really, uh—”

He couldn't finish before he, too, had to swallow back the excess saliva. There was just too much to hold back, and it was on the verge of spilling out. How mortifying!

Oliver's face turned red with embarrassment. “Uh, I just remembered something urgent I need to handle. I'll be going now.”

The moment he left, Marisa and Selena stood up hastily. “We'll be heading out too.”

They needed to eat something, anything. Staying in the room with that aroma any longer felt like torture.

Keira casually waved them off. “Don't rush off now. Didn't you say you wanted to spend time with Grandma? Why don't you come back for the next meal as well?”
