Audrey was curled up on the couch. She was so immersed in the game that she didn't even care that her mother had just left her behind over there. Meanwhile, Aiden stared at the door longingly, as if he was hoping for Chloe to come back. Kelvin felt a sense of guilt building up in his chest when he saw the way Aiden looked.
Maybe what Chloe said earlier was true. How terrible of a father must I be to have my son being so dependent on a woman he'd only met a while ago? How many mistakes must I have made to have my son disliked his biological father so badly?
“Aiden” Kelvin calmly called out for his son. Once Aiden realized that Chloe wasn't going to come back to the room anytime soon. He began to doodle in the notebook that Chloe had left behind without paying any attention to his father.
Kelvin groaned before he noticed Audrey's small figure lying on the couch from the corner of his eyes. He then recalled how
Chloe only realized that Kelvin hadn't gotten any soup. He's an adult; doesn't he have hands? Why does he need me to get a bowl for him? Soon after, Kelvin sip on his bowl of soup as he glanced at Chloe. “You're good at cooking. did you steal some tips from the head chef in the weeks of working at the hotel? “It's not stealing; I got the opportunity to observe their talents up close. Moreover, I got to meet many chefs since I graduated from one of the tops culinary schools, and I also worked as a chef in My Lady's Hotel, so I came in contact with top chefs, they aren't usually generous with their recipes. but I managed to learn these skills since I'm a great cook ”. Chloe explained casually. Kelvin didn't bother to continue with his argument. “By the way, President Clifford, I've made some changes to the proposal based on the comments you gave me previously. Do take a look at i
Meanwhile, Maddie returned home to the Crowther mansion. Matilda, who had been waiting for her all along, greeted the latter as soon as she came back. “You're back!, Maddie. Why are you so late? You didn't make it back in time for dinner”. Maddie leaned against her mother's arm and said. “ I went out to the city mall for a coffee date with my friend. Then I ran into a friend of mine, Ariana; You mentioned that you liked her series, so I asked her for a meeting”. “You've had had has always been this thoughtful. Maddie”. “But leave that now. Have you come up with a plan for your father? ”. Maddie nodded her head. then she went over to the kitchen and Matilda scurried after her. , “You don't have to worry about it. I'm going to handle everything for us”. After saying that, Matilda went back to the living room. Matilda praised her as she glanced
When Chloe was about to feed Aiden, the maid who was taking care of him cried out in panic. “Wait a minute, Miss Crowther! Little Master is not allowed to eat anything from the outside!”. “What? ” Chloe's hands froze in the air as she started at the young maid. Seeing this, the butler glared at the maid and scolded her. Saying, “the young master had invited Miss Crowther over to the house, don't you understand? In the eyes of young master and little master, anything Miss Crowther makes is safer than what all of you make”. The young maid's face turned pale as she was reprimanded by the older man. After looking over for a while, the butler continued. “Alright, you can go back and handle other things first. The young master's instructions were that Miss Crowther, Audrey, and little master should play at ease, so will call you when they need your help”. After hearing tha
Kelvin felt a pang of pain in his chest as he listened to Chloe's words and was taken aback when an apron was shoved into his hands.“Put this on so that the flour won't get on your clothes”. His eyes twitched slightly as he stared at the blue color apron in his hands. He was about to say something when Chloe urged, “Why are you still standing there? Go and wash your hands. It's already 5:00 pm, and the kids will die of hunger if we don't cook dinner soon”. He listened to her as he silently put the apron on and went to get his hands washed. With that, Kelvin began to learn how to make noodles under Chloe's instructions. “When we make our cookies, a simple round or square shape cookie is usually fine. However, kids don't focus on the flavor– they like the appearance of the food more than how it tastes. When we're making cookies, we can use molds or our hands pinch the dough
“I-I will take my leave now, young master. I'm sorry for disturbing you and Miss Crowther” the maid stuttered trying to find the right word. The maid's flustered explanation and departing footsteps came from the doorway. “Hey, it's not like that” Chloe ran to the door to explain, but when she opened the door. The corridor was empty–it was as though it was all just her illusions. She felt helpless. This is great. Now, no one will ever believe me. “Do all of your maids appear out of nowhere like this?” she turns around and looks at Kelvin with a scowl. Kelvin was puzzled and frowned. “What's wrong?” “Forget it, It's nothing” Chloe felt that it was pointless to talk to him about the impact of words, so she took the towels and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned around. “ By the way, you should spend more time with Aid
“Yep” Kelvin replied offhandedly as he gazed out the window, an ominous look-like had gotten his way– flashed across his eyes briefly. After casting his thoughts back to that night, he felt that he had come to a breakthrough. However, he needed some time to confirm things for himself. He initially thought that things would proceed smoothly, but Chloe had been evading him after yesterday's event. He realized that he still had to find a good excuse for this, and Aiden was the perfect decoy. Since that day, Kelvin would frequently bring his son over as they come knocking at Chloe's door. He would also bring Chloe and Audrey to his place during the weekends. Occasionally, the pair would also have a picnic at the park or visit the theme parks for a day of fun. As time went by, they got along better. Naturally, Chloe thought that her cooking skills were what is drawing the attention of the father and son p
“Its the crazy woman–” “Its the damned jerk–” Both of them practically at the same time, and David's deep voice mixed with Claire's lighter one. Chloe pulled Claire back, but the flame of anger was already burning in Claire's eyes. “Hey, what are you doing?” “It's him” Claire pointed at David.“ The hoodlum I was talking about back at the security is him”. “Who are you calling a hoodlum? ” David stomped his foot while ducking behind Kelvin, his face had turned red.“You beat me into a pulp, you are psycho! Just wait until my lawyer sends that legal letter to you. I'm gonna make sure that I don't forget your name Claire Medley, is it?” Green and purple patches were visible across David's face. His gorgeous eyes were now blackened from the bruises by his earlier beating. Even Chloe–who was used to Claire's violent action– couldn
Chloe came back from drying the clothes on the balcony and she caught sight of Claire still sitting on the couch. “Why aren't you done with your sheet mask? It's drying up” She said. “That's not important ” Claire's hands were folded as she sat straight up.“ Come here and take a seat". .“What for?” Chloe was amused by Claire's seriousness. “What kind of prank are you pulling on me in the dead of the night?” “What is this?” Claire pulled out a large, red innovation card and placed it on the coffee table. She had dug the invitation out from under the table when she saw the text earlier; it was buried under a stack of newspapers and magazines. From the looks of it, Chloe had received the card a while back. The stark red of the card was somehow harsh on the eyes, making Chloe frown. “Where did you get that?” “I found it under the pile of magaz
