Baby Cupid: Could You Be My New Mommy (or Miss, My Father loves you)

Chapter 21 What Can I Do For You

"Mrs. Ji, milk will help you fall asleep." A servant beamed a pleasant smile. "The butler asked me to make sure you drink it while it is still warm. It would not be as enjoyable if it is cold."

As it turned out, the gesture was instructed by the butler. Daryl nodded, "I see. Thank you very much."

As soon as the servant stepped out of the room, Daryl gulped the glass of milk and dozed off.

The chef greeted Daryl the moment he saw her.

"Good morning, Mrs. Ji!"

"Top of the morning to you too."

Daryl asked the chef about Zack's and Benjamin's breakfast favorites. After a few enumeration, she felt fortunate that the food he mentioned was familiar to her taste buds. So, after rolling up her sleeves, she began assembling her mise en place. The chef wanted to stop her from cooking, but to no avail. In the end, all he could ever do was watch from the sideline.

At daybreak, Zack and Benjamin had knocked themselves up early and tied their shoelaces for their morning jog around the villa. The moment Benjamin opened the front door,

"Oh, I just thought I'd cook for you and your daddy."

Daryl smiled. "You should go upstairs and change your clothes first. You are dripping with sweat!"

She wondered how long Zack made his son run to be this clammy.

Benjamin ought to grub on at least a couple of steamed buns, but he was soon pulled back by Zack as he took him upstairs to wash up.
