Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 218

Lambert was momentarily stunned, but once he regained his senses, a hint of amusement immediately flashed in his eyes. He opened the car door and climbed in.

Then he turned to Ariana and asked, "Why did you come here? Are you worried about me? Or are you afraid that I'll be unable to resist some temptation or threat and abandon you?" He said the first part in jest and the latter half with a teasing undertone.

Ariana looked at him and said, "My dear Mr. Stone, if you keep spouting nonsense, you're definitely walking home today."

Lambert responded quickly, looking at Ariana with an aggrieved expression. This made Ariana's mouth twitch slightly.

She chuckled and said, "Alright, hurry up and drive." She had intentionally shifted from the driver to the passenger seat so Lambert would drive.

Lambert glanced at Ariana in surprise, then sighed bitterly. "Indeed, without the title of Young Mr. Stone, my life is incredibly bleak, directly reduced to becoming a driver..."

Ariana: "Of course, from today onward, you will listen to me; otherwise, I'll kick you out of the house."

Lambert's eyes widened in surprise, "Oh, I finally see your true colors now. The fox's tail has finally appeared!" He said, sighing heavily as if lamenting his future fate.

Ariana: "...If you keep messing around, our dinner will be cold."

Lambert was truly taken aback this time. He blinked at Ariana. Although their relationship had changed and they were now a real married couple, she hadn't often cooked meals - not even once! This instantly softened his heart.

As he stared at Ariana, he understood this was probably her unique way of comforting him. Ever since he met her, this girl showed a strong, firm side, never backing down even when times were tough. Not to mention comforting others, she didn’t know how to coax a person. She couldn’t even pretend. She was far from those girls who would flatter someone to gain favor.

And now she's even started to cook.

Perhaps...

She has guessed the so-called secret that Old Mr. Stone threatened him with, afraid that he would be upset, and is clumsily trying to offer warmth.

Because Lambert kept staring at her without blinking, even Ariana, who was always calm, couldn't stand it! Her face turned somewhat red, and Ariana coughed lightly and said, "Start driving!"

Lambert's lips curved slightly, and he chuckled, "Yes, dear wife."

...

Ariana, after all, is a rich young lady, she knows how to cook only a few dishes.

She only managed to grill steaks and make porridge.

She had to call the cook to ask about making porridge. Fortunately, the steps of making porridge are not that complicated. Ariana is so smart that she didn't make any mistakes even if she made it for the first time.

However...

What she didn't get right was the dinner pairing…

Lambert looked at the plain porridge and then at the freshly cooked steak.

His mouth twitched a bit.

Meanwhile, Ariana was still reveling in her accomplishment of being capable of making porridge. She joyfully said, "Have some more, to avoid those cliché scenes you see in TV shows, I even tasted it after cooking! The porridge is good."

Lambert looked at the dinner of plain rice porridge paired with steak, a sense of incredulity flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure...the steak goes with the rice porridge?"

Was this some new trend?

That's what Lambert thought. Of course, he also said it out loud.

Then, Lambert saw Ariana's lips instantly curving up as her face beamed with utter joy. She appeared to be immensely satisfied with Lambert's words. Of course, the expression on her face was more of admiration for herself.

Rarely seeing such a childish Ariana, Lambert couldn't help but smile. He softly said, "I didn't expect my wife to be such a great cook."

Ariana didn't deny it. "Intelligent people are the best at whatever they do."

Lambert couldn't help twitching at the corner of his mouth, revealing an expression of wanting to laugh yet not daring to.

In this way, the atmosphere of their meal became even better.

There wasn't the slightest emptiness or loneliness in such a spacious villa. It was full of warmth. Throughout this time, Ariana sneakily glanced at Lambert's expression several times. She felt relieved when she saw him relax, and even a smile appeared on his face unlike his melancholic demeanor when he first left the mansion.

Ariana didn't know that Lambert had noticed her little gesture.

Upon discovering it, the amusement in Lambert's eyes became even thicker.

Afterward, they couldn't help but indulge in more conversation, involving the future. Having departed from the Stone family, Lambert had no family property. He couldn't rely on the White family's company. Even if his in-laws trusted him, he wouldn't allow himself to live on other people's mercy.

He thought that he would start his own business.

He staunchly believed he could establish a new Stone Group with his abilities.

Upon hearing Lambert's ideas, Ariana seriously replied, "Okay, let's do it together."

Lambert's eyes softened as he gently took hold of Ariana's hands, and whispered, "Mhm, together."
