Chapter 314 Dylan shrugged casually , clearly indifferent .
He had already tried to warn Natasha , but if she refused to listen , there was not much he could do .
It was obvious that Andrew was cutting her some slack if someone like Michael had dared to act up , they would have been slapped into submission long ago .
By the time Andrew returned to Moonlit Sanctuary , the sun was setting .
He pushed open the door to the small house on the hill and found Marvin lounging under the tree at a stone table , sipping leisurely on some liquor .
The table held not just Andrews prized bottle of aged whiskey but also a few snacks that were perfect for drinking .
Andrew walked over and smirked .
When did you start getting into the finer things in life , old man ? Marvin chuckled and raised his glass .
Sir , youre giving me too much credit .
These fancy little snacks ? Definitely not my handiwork .
He gestured toward the house with a knowing look .
Andrew frowned in confusion .
Who else would be here ? Just as he spoke , the sound of footsteps came from inside .
A familiar figure appeared in the doorway , wearing an apron and carrying a steaming pot of beef stew .
Hey , youre back ! Lauren beamed , her smile brighter than the evening sun .
Go wash your hands dinners ready .
Andrew froze for a second , surprised .

What are you doing here ? Lauren was bustling back and forth from the kitchen , carrying out a few more dishes before finally brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear .
Dont worry about how I got here .
Just tell me am I not welcome ? She tilted her head playfully .
If you dont want me here , Ill leave right now .
Andrew chuckled .
Its not that .
I just feel bad seeing someone like you such a pampered lady -go through so much trouble cooking all this .
Lauren let out a mock huff , sitting down to scoop soup into bowls .
Thats more like it .
But honestly , it wasnt hard at all .
Ive always loved experimenting with food .
I dont cook often , but if its for someone I care about , Id happily do it every day .
Marvin laughed heartily .
Thats the kind of talk I love to hear .
Laurens eyes sparkled as she teased , Well , if it makes the richest man in town happy , Ill make sure to say it more often ! Marvin shook his head with a grin .
You two lovebirds should save the sweet talk for when youre alone .
I dont want to be the third wheel here .
1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 314 After the meal , Marvin excused himself , claiming he had things to do , and left the two of them alone .
Lauren giggled .
Dr.
Lloyd , isnt Mr.
Yates such a thoughtful man ? Hes giving us some quality time together .
Andrew put down his utensils and hesitated for a moment before speaking .
Ms.
Rhodes , I feel like I should clarify something about Marvin and me- Before he could finish , Lauren raised her hand to his lips , silencing him gently .
Dr.
Lloyd , theres no need to explain .
Ive known youre not just an ordinary person .
Andrew frowned slightly .
Its not as complicated as you think .
Marvin and I are simply- You dont need to say anything ! Lauren interrupted , waving him off .
I already know , so dont worry about it .
Andrew watched her pop a piece of braised beef into her mouth , her eyes narrowing in delight as she savored the flavor .
Wow , this beef is amazing ! My cooking skills are out of this world ! she shamelessly praised herself .
3 Andrew could not help but laugh at her antics .
Lauren clapped her hands together and smiled .
Alright , Im full .
Dr.
Lloyd , I know you and Mr.
Yates have a complicated relationship that youd rather not discuss .
But dont worry 1 like you for who you are , not where you come from .
Before Andrew could respond , Lauren leaned in with a mischievous glint in her eyes .
Dr.
Lloyd , if I had to guess … you and Mr.
Yates , youre father and son , right ?
