Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 114

Malcolm suppressed the uneasiness within him and retrieved spaghetti bolognese from the food flask. He smiled and said, “Happy birthday, Tabby.”

“Thank you,” Tabitha replied, reached out, and took the plate.

Despite having a poor appetite, she insisted on finishing the spaghetti bolognese.

Alaric smiled and asked, “Is it good?”

Malcolm suddenly looked over nervously.

Tabitha nodded and said, “It’s delicious.”

“Malcolm made it himself,” Alaric said happily. “He learned to make it from the cook before dawn. He wasted dozens of plates of spaghetti before finally making it edible.”

Tabitha’s calm eyes reflected emotion upon hearing it, but she quickly regained her composure.

“I never knew he could cook,” she remarked.

In her memory, someone like Malcolm, an heir of a wealthy family, never ventured near the kitchen.

“Are you surprised, too?” Alaric asked.

Alaric then recounted what he had seen with a gleeful smile.

“Malcolm didn’t know anything at first. He didn’t even know how to turn on the gas, let alone the fact that he almost blew up the kitchen. The cook was concerned about a kitchen explosion while teaching him. The scene was truly chaotic. I couldn’t bear to watch it,” he explained.
