Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss Chapter 1223

Chapter 1223: She's kind to you, and I feel a bit guilty. Chapter 1223: She's kind to you, and I feel a bit guilty. “How about I come over to my place? Last time, I promised to cook for you.”

Kiara, wanting to learn some skills from him, was doing her best to get close. Yuzo Joel knew she was doing this only because she needed something, but he found her ingratiating manner quite cute. Such a clever girl, always knowing which way the wind blows, not sticking to conventions – her personality radiated cleverness, ensuring she would never be at a disadvantage.

“If it's not too much of a bother, then I'll take up your offer. But given your condition, you really shouldn't trouble yourself with cooking. This guy here seems pretty free though.” Yuzo Joel pointed at Mario Yuno, who glared back, annoyed!

“Camden, is that okay?” Kiara looked at him pleadingly. She knew her cooking skills were somewhat lacking, and she really wanted to have a good talk with Yuzo Joel today.

“Fine…” Mario Yuno grudgingly squeezed the words out through clenched teeth.

“Don't force yourself. If you don't want to see me, Kiara and I can find another place to go. We won't bother you.”

How could Camden let his daughter-in-law be alone with this stranger of uncertain origin? He swallowed his pride and said with a false smile,
“You're welcome to come to our house!” Little rascal, I'll feed you till you burst!

Yuzo Joel followed Kiara and her husband back to their house. As they entered, Beautiful Lady came up to greet them. The little devil deep in Camden's heart roared, Beautiful Lady, bite this villain!

Beautiful Lady, who had always had a great understanding with Camden, for some reason today was different. She sniffed Yuzo Joel and wagged her tail, seemingly quite fond of him. Camden felt another sting of jealousy.

Ah, what's gotten into my dog!

“Good doggie!” Yuzo Joel reached out to pet Beautiful Lady's head, muttering under his breath, “Let me see, have you been getting along peacefully with Kiara? Oh, you like tearing paper, huh? That's not good, you should stop doing that, okay?”

Kiara was surprised, “Can you read minds?!”

Yuzo Joel laughed and pointed at the sofa. Kiara looked over and, hands on her hips, exclaimed angrily.

“Sophia Green! You're tearing paper again!”

There were even more shredded tissues on the sofa. Yuzo Joel patted Beautiful Lady's head, “Go on, clean up the mess you made.”

Beautiful Lady, spit on him! Let the fierceness of the Military Dog shine and spit hard! That's what the little devil inside Camden was calling for, but what happened next surprised him greatly.

Beautiful Lady, who had only ever heeded Mario Yuno's commands, actually went over to the sofa and started cleaning up the tissues she had just torn up with her mouth!

This was too miraculous!

Beautiful Lady usually only obeyed Mario Yuno's orders. Although she was great with Kiara too, she selective when it came to obeying Kiara's commands, often pretending not to hear.

Yuzo Joel was but a stranger, so how could he command Beautiful Lady to do things upon his arrival?

“How did you do that?” Kiara asked in amazement.

“It's quite simple really, akin to the hypnosis I performed on that person earlier. Let's go inside and talk. Hey, you, the cook,” Yuzo Joel said to Camden.

Camden looked at the ceiling, pretending not to hear. Old man, who are you calling a cook?!

“Does he not welcome me?”

Yuzo Joel asked Kiara. She tugged at Mario Yuno, and reluctantly, Camden asked,
“What is it?”

“This is a tranquility herbal tea that's very good for pregnant women. Go brew it and bring it here.” He took out a bag of tea, then pulled out another one, “This is my tea, brew this for me too.”

I brewed some tea for your pop!

Camden decided that when he made Yuzo Joel's tea later, he would squeeze the leaves with his paws that hadn't been washed after using the bathroom, and he would even spit a few times into his cup!

“Don't you dare pull any stunts, my tea and Kiara's turn out about the same, and who knows, Kiara might even taste my tea too!”

That comment struck a nerve in Camden, this old geezer was getting crafty!

While Mario Yuno sulked at being reduced to kitchen help on one hand, Kiara had intended to take Yuzo Joel straight to the small study room on the other, but seeing how curious he seemed about the house, she decided to give him a tour instead and explain some of their decorating inspirations.

Yuzo Joel felt a pang of heartache looking around, such a two-room flat seemed miserably small to him, “Look how tiny the house he provided is. Are you comfortable living here?”

“It's quite nice actually. To me, home isn't about size. It's about staying with the person you love.” Kiara glanced at the kitchen. Her Camden was doing so well; despite his dislike for Yuzo Joel, he was willing to cook for her. She felt quite content with such a husband.

Kiara's expression of happiness felt like a warm blast of air from an air conditioner to Yuzo Joel, refreshing and warm.

Kiara invited him onto the tatami. The small room was filled with warmth, clearly the home of a happy newlywed couple.

Mario Yuno finished brewing the tea and brought it out, along with a sarcastic eye roll. Yuzo Joel returned the gesture. When Kiara looked up, both men offered her unnatural smiles, pretending to be friendly.

“Do you have any dietary restrictions or anything you particularly dislike?” Kiara asked Yuzo Joel.

“I don't really have any special dietary restrictions, I just don't particularly like beef or mutton.”

“Oh, how about hot pot with lamb then? And some beef in sauce–oh right, I also make a mean tripe soup!” Mario Yuno added in his head, spitefully, I'll feed you till you drop!

“Stay on the sidelines and don't cause trouble!” Kiara said with a laugh to the troublesome Camden, who immediately sensed the threatening undertone in her laughter and behaved himself.

“I'm going to cook. You two have a nice chat.”

Kiara said to Yuzo Joel with a smile, “Sorry for the spectacle. My husband likes to joke around.”

I'm dead serious! thought Camden, but he didn't dare show it and obediently tied on an apron to start cooking.

Yuzo Joel found the whole scene quite amusing, easily deducing the family dynamics–which he thought was quite nice.

There was a stack of gauze on the sofa. Pointing to it, Yuzo Joel asked, “What's this for?”

“My mom brought that; she said it's for the baby's diapers. I told her we use diapers, but she just wouldn't listen to me,” Kiara explained.

Kiara's mother always felt that using diapers wasn't good for the child. Despite Kiara's repeated explanations, she wouldn't listen, and somehow she managed to cut up a bunch of worn-out thermal underwear into pieces. Kiara had a headache just looking at it and it took a lot of effort to explain to her mother that these thermals weren't practical–they would lose their absorbency and become harsh on the baby's skin, possibly causing diaper rash, plus they could be unsanitary if not properly disinfected.

After being convinced by Kiara, Kiara's mother also felt it was inappropriate. She bought two books and studied for a long time, finally concluding that such gauze diapers were quite good and bought two bags full from a baby store to bring over.

“Does your mother treat you well?” Yuzo Joel asked.

“How do I put it, we have a generational gap. We argue every time we meet. She likes to nag about everything. But when I don't see her, I miss her, and she worries about me.”

Yuzo Joel was silent for a moment, then he sighed deeply.

“She really does treat you well, which makes me feel a bit guilty.”
