Chapter 3777

After thinking about it, Tati nodded and agreed with Isabella. She asked, “Are we going to keep ignoring Mr. Longbottom?” “Do you want to meet him?” Isabella questioned back. Tati immediately shook her head. “No. He thinks he’s a charming, elegant, and handsome middle-aged man. He has no idea that he’s just a sleazy old man to me. I hate his arrogant gaze and his being delusional about his looks. “After getting used to a great man like Austin, seeing a man as pretentious as Mr. Longbottom makes me realize the vast difference between them. “Austin is really gentlemanly and charismatic. Even without doing anything, he looks pleasing to me whenever I look at him. “I finally believe the saying that looking at handsome guys and pretty women can improve one’s mood.” After speaking, Tati noticed her sister’s teasing gaze. She quickly explained, “I don’t mean anything by that, Isa.” “You don’t need to explain. We’re cousins. We’ve grown up together and know each other well. Even my parents might not know me as well as you do. Isabella smiled and said, “It’s not embarrassing to admire Austin. There’s no need to panic and explain things. This might sound embarrassing, but as you said, I find other men lacking compared to Austin ever since I got to know him. “I admire Austin’s character. Therefore, you don’t have to be ashamed of admiring him. It’s not difficult to admit that someone is outstanding.” Isabella added, “Although Austin is just my private chef, his position can’t conceal his excellence. “He’s already a man with a successful career, yet he became my private chef to level up his cooking skills. I’m a picky eater. Even if I can eat the food and desserts he makes, I can still point out flaws in his dishes. That allows him to adjust and improve his recipes. “By doing so, his cooking skills will improve. That man is truly born to be a chef. He’s very persistent about cooking.” Tati said, “It’s because you keep looking at Austin and me with an ambiguous gaze. I just felt like I had to explain myself. What I feel for Austin is pure admiration. I’m not in love with him.” Besides, she thought Austin was only interested in Isabella. Austin was a chef primarily stationed in the kitchen. When he occasionally came out to meet them, he looked at Tati calmly, as if she were a stranger. He showed no signs of wanting to get close to her. On the contrary, Austin’s eyes would gleam whenever he looked toward Isabella. Tati even noticed hints of gentleness and love in his eyes. Tati did not think she was hallucinating. Austin's eyes were only focused on Isabella. Of course, it could be due to his position as Isabella’s private chef. He could have paid more attention to her because he was loyal to his boss. Regardless of the reason, Tati would never fall in love with Austin. A man whose attention was never on her could not be hers, no matter how outstanding he was. Tati was not short of admirers anyway. If she wanted to get married, there would be a row of men queuing up to marry her. They would probably be willing even if they had to marry into the O’Connor family. Isabella did not want to debate on that topic anymore. She smiled. “If a man as great as Austin can’t move your heart, I don’t even know what kind of man you’ll find worthy anymore. “However, it’s true that my excellent cousin needs an excellent man to match her. That way, you two can join hands and conquer the business world.” “Isabella.” Tati blushed from Isabella’s teasing. At that moment, someone’s phone rang.
