Chapter 229

Before Julian's lips could curl into a smile, he cleared his throat loudly. His sudden action startled Diana, who dropped the spoon into the pot from shock. "What is it now?" Diana asked, annoyed. She turned around, only to see Julian's expression as black as the bottom of a burnt pot. "It's nothing. You can eat once you're done cooking, but don't serve it yet," Julian said, his voice hard. "Kayla wouldn't be happy if you did." After saying that, he left. Albert saw Julian's eyes closed tightly as he exited the kitchen, his handsome features crinkled together, and asked nervously, "Sir, do your eyes feel uncomfortable?” In truth, Julian was annoyed with himself for saying those things earlier. Without realizing it, he blurted out, "Yes. My eyes hurt from looking at that ugly thing in the kitchen." Diana heard his words from inside the kitchen, and was confused. If Julian said she was ugly, wasn't he calling Kayla ugly as well? After all, the two sisters looked very much alike.
