Revenge After Prison Never Forgiven (Abigail) novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Sebastian delivered a swift jab to James‘ side.

“Yowl” James yelped and twisted away in exaggerated agony.

Abigail burst out laughing, the sound light and infectious.

There wasn’t much either James or Warren could do to help in the kitchen.

As Sebastian took charge of dinner, Abigail lingered by his side, chatting with him as he

as he worked,

“You should go relax. Watch some TV or something, it won’t take long. Sebastian said, glancing her way.

Instead, she leaned in a little closes, lowering her voice like they were sharing a secret. “I’m starving. Think I could sneak a crab before the others!”

Amused, Sebastian lihed the steamer lid and plucked out a a freshly cooked crabs, steam curling upward in fragrant coils.

Abigail reached for it eagerly, but he raised it out of her reach. “It’s hot. Let me crack it open for you. Or have you forgotten what happened last time when you tried to do it yourself?”

“I’ll be careful. Come on, don’t fuss, I can manage. Go back to your cooking,” she insisted, still reaching for the crab, her eyes fixed on it like a determined

child.

Just then, as she leaned in, he stole a kiss, barely a brush on h

on her lips, soft and fleeting

His scent, clean and distinct, slipped into her senses like a quiet current. It lingered, unexpected and enveloping.

She looked up immediately, surprised

Sebastian smiled, but his gaze ducked away. “I’ll peel it for you. Just give me a minute. I’ll be quick.”

“All right,” she murmured, her face a touch warm, her thoughts still caught on the kiss

She stood quietly at his side as he worked, stealing glances at his profile.

When she noticed the tips of his ears turning red, she couldn’t help but smile

So he really was that carest. The reputation, the charm, and the carefree flirtation were clearly all an act

“I picked the plumpest male crab for you,” he said, finally placing the clean meat in front of her. “Go ahead, have a taste.”

Abigail took it with a small nod and settled into a seat at the kitchen island

Sebastian stayed by the stove, monitoring the simmering dishes while absentmindedly cracking more crab legs for her.

“You didn’t eat much at lunch?” he asked, handing her another piece.

“I ordered in, but it wasn’t great. I’ve been spoiled by your cooking” she said with a quiet laugh.

In truth, she just didn’t care for delivery food. Even the expensive ones always seemed oddly lifeless once packed up and delivered.

“You’re probably ordering the cheap stuff,” Sébastian said, giving her a sideways look. “I saw your receipts. You’re not exactly splurging.”

Abigail chewed thoughtfully. “I did try one of the fancy ones once. Still didn’t taste right. Nothing like restaurant food. Aher that, I went back to the cheaper ones. Besides, my assistant and even Jeremiah always go for the budget options.

“Look al you. Your basic tossed salad tastes better than most of the

He smiled at her enthusiasm. “Really, I’ll bring something tomorrow.”
