Chapter 1745 A Passionate Scene
Startled by his chortle, Lina looked at him. “What's wrong, Dr. Quinn?”
Stanley dipped his eyes to conceal the amusement in his eyes. “I'm fine. I just choked on
my tea.”
“Oh.” Lina nodded and stopped asking, finding the man weird.
Why did he suddenly choke on tea?
Despite wondering what was wrong with him, Lina didn't say it out loud.
She was not a fool, after all. If she were to say her thoughts out loud, she would end up
offending people.
“They're not cooking,” said Stanley, seemingly oblivious to what was going on in Lina's
mind. He set down his teacup and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth before replying,
“They're just going to the kitchen to tell the chef what to prepare for tonight's dinner. They
said it's to welcome me home.”
“So that's how it is.” Lina nodded as realization dawned on her but soon found it odd. Is
there really a need for the two of them to go to the kitchen to instruct the chef? I know
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNat will do so. After all, even though this man had harmed Joyce and committed other
wrongdoings, the fact that he had saved a life is undeniable. Nat will give him a chance
because of that. She has always been kindhearted, so it's understandable that she will
host a welcome-home dinner for him. But there's no way Mr. Thompson will do something
like that! Mr. Thompson is nothing like Nat. Even I, an outsider, know how much Mr.
Thompson hates Stanley. He will never do something like that for Stanley. Even if Nat
insists on hosting a welcome-home feast and Mr. Thompson reluctantly agrees with the
idea, he'll never head to the kitchen with Nat to tell the chefs to prepare a sumptuous
feast. There must be some other reason behind this.
Lina's eyes darted to the kitchen as she mused to herself before standing up and making
her way over to the kitchen.
Stanley arched an eyebrow and didn't stop her from leaving.
I'm not interested in this woman, and the way she treats me isn't exactly friendly, too.
Why would I bother myself with her affairs?
Therefore, Stanley quickly averted his gaze and continued savoring the tea.
In the meantime, Lina curiously headed to the kitchen.
Just as she reached the kitchen door, she heard strange noises coming from inside.
She couldn't quite describe what the noise sounded like, but it was incredibly suggestive,
inexplicably making one's face flush and heart race.
In response, she touched her burning cheek and felt her pounding heartbeat.
She knew what the noise meant and that she should not continue advancing forward.
However, people tend to be driven by curiosity. They will stop at nothing until their
curiosity is satisfied.
Therefore, instead of leaving, Lina sneakily tiptoed toward the kitchen.
The kitchen door was left open, so when Lina reached the doorway, she had a clear view
of the scene inside the kitchen.
She saw a tall figure with his back to her, pinning a petite figure against the kitchen wall,
passionately kissing her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe towering man's actions were assertive as he kissed the woman domineeringly.
The petite woman, on the other hand, couldn't move nor struggle at all. She could only let
the man do as he pleased.
Lina's face turned beet red when she saw the couple sharing a passionate kiss in the
kitchen. In fact, she was so embarrassed that even her ears and neck flushed red. She
stood rooted to the spot, torn between leaving or staying.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect to witness such a scene.
Actually, she had a sense of what was going on the moment she heard the noise.
Driven by her curiosity, she just wanted to see what was happening, and she did not
expect to see that.
Mr. Thompson is really too much. How can he kiss Nat in the kitchen? Can't he have
waited until they were back in their room?
Lina grumbled inwardly as she inched backward, not wanting to see anymore.
She wanted to leave before she was discovered, or it would be disastrous.
Shane would never let her off the hook for snooping.
With that in mind, Lina swallowed nervously and hastened to retreat.
