My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 460 Why Did You Lie to Me?

Freya paused momentarily, then advised, “Brisa, you can melt the chocolate by heating it in a bowl over simmering water. If that doesn’t work, ask the chef for a sous-vide cooker. You might have one at home, especially since you often whip up delicious desserts.”

Brisa remained silent, a hint of stubbornness in her expression.

Freya continued, “By the way, when you melt it over simmering water, ensure the water doesn’t get too hot. Around 140 degrees Fahrenheit should do the trick!”

Only then did Brisa look at Freya and ask, “Do you know how?”

A sly grin appeared on Freya’s face. “My culinary talents are on par with my medical knowledge, but I don’t always flaunt them.”

While these statements might sound like boasting when uttered by others, her confidence was well- founded, as she had the skills to match her claims.

After some contemplation, Brisa finally relented, saying, “Okay, please teach me.”

Freya nodded in response. “Have you tried looking up any online tutorials for this?”

“I did ask Inken, and he suggested melting the chocolate, baking cookies, and drizzling the melted chocolate on top.”

After hearing the straightforward approach, Freya couldn’t help but narrow her eyes as she asked, “I’d be happy to show you, but first, you’ll have to tell me who these chocolate cookies are intended for.”

Brisa’s face reddened slightly, and she bashfully tapped the nearby kitchen counter. “It’s for that guy, the one beside Radley.”

“Connor West?” Freya’s eyes widened, and she furrowed her brow, fixing her gaze on Brisa. “You’ve been going out quite frequently lately. Are you seeing him?”

Brisa gritted her teeth and said, “I’ve already told you, so don’t worry about it so much!”

Freya sighed and accompanied her to the grocery store to buy the necessary ingredients. As they shopped, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat bewildered by Brisa’s seriousness.

As the young miss of the Davis Family, Brisa had a father who served as one of the ministers in Capitael. While she cherished her freedom, her father’s strict reputation loomed over her. Freya sensed that any potential relationship between Brisa and Connor would likely face significant obstacles.

Freya decided not to press the issue and spent the morning making chocolate cookies with Brisa. At noon, Brisa finally baked the most perfect chocolate cookies she had ever made, with Freya providing strict supervision.

Brisa then served a portion to Isabella, who seemed surprised. “Are these cookies?”
