Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!
Chapter 423 - 422: The First Bite Is for You
In the live broadcast room of "Only You in this Lifetime," this scene unfolded in Natalie Jennings’ kitchen.
Standing there were two people, Jensen Sterling standing next to Mia Sutton, his shirt sleeves rolled slightly. Naturally, he wrapped an apron around the waist of the girl beside him.
Then he started washing vegetables, his movements so skilled and fluid that it seemed as if he had rehearsed them countless times in private.
[To be honest, I was surprised when I watched the first episode. I always thought someone like Jensen Sterling stayed away from the kitchen, far removed from the smells of cooking. Who would have thought he had such a down-to-earth side?]
[The two of them standing there make such a perfect match, a high-profile pairing.]
[Hahaha, looking at the expressions of the people at the kitchen door, I can’t control my laughter anymore.]
At the kitchen door, a few other people almost filled the entrance, eyes wide open as if they were witnessing something unbelievable.
If not for the live broadcast, they could probably fit two eggs in their mouths.
They started with a slight attitude of skepticism, but when they saw Mia Sutton’s swift knife skills, they were completely taken aback.
The speed at which Mia was cutting vegetables was ten times theirs, and the finished product was even better.
Then, the group watched for two minutes, silently returning to the dining room, instinctively setting the table and sitting upright.
They looked like they were waiting to be fed.
[These people are so funny, their look of waiting for food is so adorable.]
[Natalie Jennings keeps glancing toward the kitchen—hilarious!]
[I finally understand why the director didn’t give food to Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling—if those two had food, the rest would be at risk of starving.]
In the kitchen footage.
Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling worked very well together.
Mia glanced at the rice cooker, took out the undercooked rice into a bowl, and made it again herself.
Because there were many people, Mia made a larger quantity.
She made porridge with various ingredients: diced ham, carrot cubes, diced pumpkin, all cut to the same size, so evenly you’d think they were cut by a machine.
Mia cooked the porridge and then started stir-frying, with Jensen helping by passing things.
Occasionally, Mia would give him a bite, smiling and quietly asking if it was good.
"Secretly giving you the first bite," Mia said sweetly, holding a piece of food with her chopsticks to Jensen’s mouth.
Jensen glanced toward the direction outside, then back, bowed his head slightly, smiled, and softly said, "Good," as he opened his mouth.
Their voices carried through the microphones, reaching everyone in the live broadcast room.
It made people’s hearts flutter and their lips curve into smiles.
[Ahhh, these two are killing me with sweetness.]
[Even though it’s a meal for everyone, the first bite is for you—I’m swooning.]
[These two have voices that can make people pregnant. I want to save Mia’s voice so I can play it back while I eat, pretending she’s coaxing me to eat.]
[Stop saying nonsense, Jensen, the movie star, is rushing to the scene with a two-meter-long machete.]
...
Amidst everyone’s anticipation, the aroma of food wafted out, making already hungry stomachs grumble louder, some even swallowing involuntarily.
Both Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling brought out the dishes, and Renee Lancaster and Keira Hughes quickly went to bring out the rest.
Mia Sutton: "Time was tight, so I just made a few dishes. Everyone, see if you like them."
On the table were four dishes, two hot and two cold, plus the porridge.
As soon as the porridge lid was lifted, the aroma spread, its colorful ingredients making it visually appetizing.
Red carrot cubes, diced ham, golden corn kernels, diced mushrooms, chicken breast, sticky white rice, and scallions—all appealing in color, smell, and taste.
You could clearly see people swallowing beside the table, their eyes fixated.
[This looks so delicious. I just ate, but suddenly I feel hungry again.]
[Sisters, don’t hold back—I’ve already opened the food delivery app.]
Even the director at the filming site felt hungry seeing this scene.
Mia Sutton: "Everyone, please try it."
Once Mia spoke, everyone didn’t hesitate, quickly grabbing spoons to serve themselves, just like ravenous wolves pouncing on prey.
"Whoa..." Crap, he swallowed the word he was about to say, quickly changing to, "Wow, this is so delicious."
[Did he just almost say ’Holy shit’?]
[Hahaha, this is classic—the mouth moving faster than the brain.]
[But they’re eating so deliciously; I want to eat too.]
[Suddenly, I’m so jealous of Jensen, the movie star. He’s so lucky to always be eating Mia’s cooking.]
[Let’s team up to steal Mia and eat her food.]
[Don’t even think about it, Jensen, the movie star, gives you a death glare, instantly killing you.]
