The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 63 Treasure Cuisine The owner was this sweet old lady with white hair, who immediately spotted Allison in the crowd. "Well, look who we have here, Ms. Bennett!" Kismet smiled warmly and walked toward Allison, grabbing her hand tightly.

"It's been ages since I last saw you. You heartless girl, you never cto see me!" Kismet said, glancing at the people behind Allison, a bit surprised. Allison quickly jumped in, "Kismet, these are my friends. They cspecifically to try your cooking!" "Hi, I'm Mia, Allison's good friend." Mia, always the social butterfly, quickly started chatting with Kismet, making her very happy.

"Con, let's go to the room inside. I've been saving a room for you!" Kismet led Allison to the backyard, which was super clean. There were two side rooms, and Kismet opened one of them, letting Allison and her friends in. "I've always kept this room for you, Ms. Bennett. I thought you had forgotten about it!" Kismet's voice had a hint of sadness.

Allison hugged her and reassured, "Kismet, I'm back. I'll be living in Skycrest from now on, and I'll visit you often. Don't worry!" Hearing Allison's words, Kismet smiled and happily went to the frontyard to prepare. Soon, someone brought in slate-night snacks.

"Kismet's family has been chefs for generations, with unique culinary skills. But since Kismet's generation has no male heirs, the skills are almost lost. Kismet learned a few recipes from her family, and her roast chicken is exceptional!" Allison explained to everyone.

As she spoke, Alexander fixed his gaze on her. "She has a deep connection with the Bennett family?" Hearing Alexander's question, Allison's expression turned a bit sad. "She was my grandmother's maid, but my grandmother never treated her as a maid. They were like sisters. When my grandmother was on her deathbed, Kismet was the one by her side. So after my grandmother passed away, she left this small courtyard to Kismet and her family." Alexander nodded. He knew about Allison's family background. Hayden was a military man, and his wife Valencia was a lady of high society. The Bennett family's current wealth was actually built on Valencia's assets, so Hayden had great respect for his wife and had a good reputation.

Unfortunately, the Bennett family's values did not pass down to Preston, leaving Hayden to struggle to support the Bennett Group at such an old age.

At this moment, Kismet brought sdishes in. "Ms. Bennett, these are all your favorite dishes. I've also prepared sspecial ones. Take your teating; I'll go to the frontyard to help out!" Allison got up to personally send Kismet to the front, then she even tried to help but Kismet refused. "No need, Ms. Bennett, the kids are busy in the frontyard. I'll just supervise. Go eat, and after you're done, I want to have a good chat with you!" Allison nodded in agreement, making Kismet even happier.

Allison then returned to the side room and immediately heard Mia exclaiming, "This is so good! Hunter, we should chere every day!" Hunter, a bit speechless, handed Mia a napkin to wipe her mouth. She was eating like she hadn't had a meal in ages.

The roast chicken was spicy, so there wasn't much Alexander could eat. Allison placed a plate of pastries in front of him. "These are made by Kismet herself. They're not very sweet but very fragrant!" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Alexander tried one and found it quite tasty. But when he reached for a second piece, the plate was already empty.

Hunter, after a few bites, looked at Allison. "Ms. Bennett, does Kismet take apprentices? Or would she be willing to work for me? I can offer her a high salary!" The Shaw family's main business was in restaurants and hotels. Despite the turmoil in recent years, the Shaw family remained strong. With the rise of food delivery services, they recognized the need to innovate and maintain a competitive edge in the market.

Allison thought for a moment and shook her head. "Kismet is already eighty-six years old. It would be hard to convince her. Plus, her family's recipes are passed down through generations, and only her children can be apprentices. As for a high salary, Kismet has never lacked money, so that wouldn't attract her." Hunter was surprised. He thought living in such a small alley and selling late-night snacks every night would mean a tight budget, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Seeing his confusion, Allison explained, "Kismet making food was just for fun. She loves having people around and hearing them praise her cooking. It makes her happier than earning a lot of money. Before my grandmother passed away, she transferred this courtyard to Kismet. There are over a dozen families living here, and the monthly rent is nearly a hundred thousand dollars, so she doesn't lack money!" Even though Skycrest had a high cost of living, even swhite-collar workers couldn't earn a hundred thousand dollars a month. Hunter could only let out a sigh, feeling a bit dejected.

Mia comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. If we chere often enough, she might take a liking to you and accept you as an apprentice! Hunter, you've got me, don't worry." These two really were a perfect match. Watching them bicker lightened Allison's mood.

He glanced at the number and answered. "Alexander, you're too much! Eating delicious food in the middle of the night without inviting me. Have James pickup; I'm at the door!" It was Declan's voice. Alexander looked at James, who quickly went out.

Declan arrived with Landon. Seeing the food on the table, they immediately starte Keating without saying much. "This is mine, mine! Hunter, get the chicken feet over here, he's gonna eat them all!"

Despite being young masters from prominent families in Skycrest, they were here any ghting over food without any decorum. Alexander felt quite helpless and wanted to pretend not to know these people. Declan and Landon had planned to go drinking and discuss smatters, but they saw the food on Hunter's Facebook and, after knowing it was Allison's treat, drove over immediately.

"Ms. Bennett, where did you find this hidden gem of a place? This is the hadim best roast chicken I've ever had m Declan couldn't help but praise while eating; and Landon nodded in agreement, their mouth full of spicy oil but still wanting more. Landon said, "Is there any more food? I'm not full yet!" Allison checked the time; it was already past one o'clock, and the food should be sold out. "No, this restaurant only operates for an hour each night. The food should be all sold out by now." Declan and Landon looked disappointed, but soon they reached a consensus. "Tomorrow night at midnight, let's meet here again!" Mia was drinking her beverage, and almost spat it out upon hearing their words. She looked at Declan and Landon with a strange expression. "You two sound like a couple!"
