Her Precious Baby

Chapter 291

The light of guile glimmered in her eyes. “Hey, you're offering your help voluntarily, right? I never forced you to do anything.”

Evander said nothing. Instead, he whipped out an apron from the cabinet and tied it around his lower body. Then he slid liis hands into a pair of gloves.

Angeline was surprised he'd do that. So he's serious about this? Very well, then. She quickly took the ingredients for her cake from the cabinet and laid them out on the table.

“If you're making cakes for kids, then you have to go with plant-based cream, just enough sugar, and superfine flour.” Angeline was explaining the steps to cakemaking patiently as she taught him how to whip the cream.

Then she took the cake's base out of the microwave. “Flavor isn't the only tiling that matters in this case. You want the child to love it, so you have to also make the cake look pretty.”

She placed the cake's base before Evander and solemnly said, “Give it your best shot. First, spread some cream on it.”
