章 1327: Asking for Hand in Marriage

Edward looked up at Chloe. Chloe quickly explained, "This is my mother's specialty. Try it."

"Thank you." Edward smiled faintly.

He was just upholding decorum whereas in Chloe's eyes, it was a form of intimacy.

It had been known that the Chief seldom smiled, yet he smiled so naturally at her.

She blinked in anticipation as she watched Edward eat the braised beef.

"Is it good?" Chloe asked.

"It's delicious," Edward commented.

"I knew you'd like it. I specially asked Mom to prepare it for you today. Mom was worried that you weren't used to home-cooked food and didn't want to make it." Chloe looked very lively at the table. "Mom, look. Edward likes it very much."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm just worried that you won't like it if I make it too homely," Claire quickly echoed.

The atmosphere at the dining table was not as awkward, thanks to Chloe.

"No, I like it very much. Thank you." Edward was still very polite.
