Chapter 654 You Two Have a Great Relationship

Zoe turned her back to everyone to hide her flustered emotions, pretending to stay engrossed in the empty wheat fields. She didn't respond to Ian's casual remark. When it came time to start grilling, Zoe became the star of the show. Her family might have run a pancake house, but her dad was a seasoned chef, and every member of her family had a knack for cooking. Barbecuing was second nature to her. She volunteered to take charge, tirelessly grilling for everyone like a busy little bee. Bella stayed by her side to assist while Lia and Ian's stunning assistant, Bethany Welch, helped prep the ingredients and bring the cooked food to the table. Despite the casual atmosphere, Bella couldn't completely relax. Memories of being shot here crept into her mind, and she found herself glancing around every so often, scanning the area instinctively. That kind of trauma left scars that were hard to erase. Dominic, who had been chatting with Leonard and the others, noticed her subtle unease.
