Chapter 59:

Rachel, ever quick to read the situation, huffed, “Then put me down. I can walk just fine.”

Brian clicked his tongue, his tone dripping with playful arrogance. “You really know how to ruin the moment, don’t you?”

He looked almost sulky, like a spoiled prince denied his way.

Rachel saw right through him. Without hesitation, she leaned in and pressed a soft kiss against his lips.

Minutes passed before he reluctantly pulled away.

With effortless grace, he swept her into his arms and carried her straight to the bedroom.

Odd, considering he had just claimed he was out of energy. He sure didn’t act like it.

After tucking her in, he ran a hand through her hair and murmured, “Get some rest. I’ll wake you when everything’s ready.” She hummed sleepily.

The moment Brian stepped downstairs, he dialed Ronald. “Do you have everything?”

Ronald hesitated before answering. “At this hour, the supermarkets are closed. I couldn’t find high-quality beef anywhere.”

Ronald had tackled high-stakes business deals, negotiated under pressure, and solved impossible problems, but late-night grocery shopping? That was a new one.

Brian didn’t waver. “Check with restaurants. They’ll have fresh stock. Pay extra if needed, but don’t settle for anything less than the best.”

“Understood. I’ll handle it immediately.” As always, Ronald wasted no time. When Brian was ready to cook, the ingredients were already there, neatly delivered by Ronald.

Within twenty minutes, the kitchen was alive with the rich, mouthwatering scent of freshly cooked food.
