Chapter 2871: Chapter 61: Alcohol Tolerance Practice on the Fourth Night (1)

Ben Lucas hears Harrison Lucas’s words and instinctively frowns, the next moment he remembers the cake he spent the whole morning patiently making.

Although it was his first time making one, Ben Lucas has a great talent, and according to Lily Redington’s instructions, he made the strawberry cream cake almost perfectly.

Originally, he intended to make it for Harrison to eat.

Because he knew, this young guy Harrison doesn’t like anything except is greedy for sweets.

Only constrained by his soldier identity, he suppresses this fondness.

"No..." Ben Lucas says coldly, "I got it from outside, forced by the vendor to take it."

Harrison queries: "Are vendors now so generous, giving away cakes made with high-grade imported cream?"

Her nose is sensitive, that strawberry cream cake’s ingredients are the top tier.

Just seeing it makes one want to take a big bite.

Harrison really has no resistance to sweets; if she doesn’t see them, it’s fine, but now knowing a delicious cream cake is sitting in the downstairs fridge.

Even her very heart is itchy.

"Major General, since it’s a giveaway, how do you plan to handle it? If you don’t want to eat it, I could..."

"Who said I wouldn’t eat it? I brought it back intending to eat it myself." Ben Lucas coldly steps past Harrison, ignoring the hint of disappointment in her eyes.

He tells himself, no matter how aggrieved Harrison looks, even if pitifully seeming to want his head rubbed, he can’t soften his heart.

Ben Lucas with long strides swiftly steps around Harrison, and heads downstairs.

Harrison, unsuccessful in her cake quest, inevitably drops her shoulders, and dejectedly tails behind.

Ben Lucas walks ahead, Harrison follows behind, entering the restaurant together.

On the dining table, Harrison has already reheated the dishes Ben made that morning, neatly placing them in a small pot on the table.

Seeing Ben about to eat, Harrison quickly rushes to the table to lift the lid, the small pot still steaming, aromatic and very appetizing.

Harrison diligently says: "Major General, do you want to start with soup or the meal?"

She stands upright, eager on her face.

Go ahead and eat, eat more, once full you’ll forget the cake in the fridge.

Unexpectedly, Ben seemingly able to read Harrison’s thoughts, says in a deep, cold voice: "The cake first."

Harrison: "..."

Harrison feels heartache, heavy pain, throbbing pain.

Her strawberry cream cake... She can’t recall how long it’s been since having dessert.

Ben raises a brow: "Aren’t you getting it out yet?"

Harrison immediately shows an expression of being sent to her punishment, lowers her head, and steps towards the fridge.

Completely lacking any of her usual coolness and swiftness.

She finally understands, the most painful thing in the world isn’t watching the things you like being uneaten, but watching the things you like, not only can’t you eat them, but have to deliver them to someone else’s mouth.

Harrison cautiously takes out the cream cake, placing it in front of Ben Lucas.

"Major General..." she opens the glass cover outside, "How many pieces do you want?"

Please, leave a few pieces for her, if not, even just one piece.

Ben Lucas doesn’t raise his eyes: "Leave it all."

Harrison feels an arrow piercing her heart.

She can only helplessly take a knife and dessert spoon, and place them in front of the young master.

The man’s slender fingers pick up the spoon, in Harrison’s face, plunging it into the enticing snow-white cream.

Together with the strawberry on top, he scoops out a large spoonful.

Harrison displays a fiercely painful expression, yet watches eagerly.

That big mouthful of cream and strawberry is then delivered to Ben Lucas’s mouth, as the sweet and sticky aroma of cream assaults him, he instinctively furrows his brow.

He really doesn’t like the taste of cream.
