The head cook hesitated and suggested. “Mr. Winters, why don’t we prepare two simple dishes? Learning complicated dishes might take some time.”

After hearing this, Elias glared at the cook. “Do you expect my woman to eat just salad? Do you think you’re feeding rabbits?”

The head cook was speechless and silently thought to himself. If only he could make a salad properly…

On the other hand, it took Amanda nearly forty minutes to reach the estate, and it was already dark when she arrived. She had to hurry through her meal so she could get back home to her child. While knowing that Selina was keeping an eye on Aiden helped ease her mind, she knew that, as his mother, she had to be present for him.

When she exited her vehicle, Boris greeted her, “Miss Bailey, you’ve finally arrived. Mr. Winters requested that I bring you to the dining room so you could wait for him.”

“Wait for him? What is he busy with?”

After hearing this, he answered truthfully. “Knowing you were coming for dinner, he decided to learn to cook in the kitchen. It won’t take long, so kindly wait in the dining room.”

“Now? He’s learning to cook?” Amanda was astonished. I made a passing reference to it, and I do not expect Elias to cook. Considering that he is still recovering from his illness, how could he possibly cook?

Boris then led her to the dining room, where three dishes had already been set on the table. She wondered how they tasted because they appeared to have been prepared with the assistance of the head cook, as they smelled and looked delectable. After that, he said, “Mr. Winters is preparing one more dish. Please wait a little longer. If you’re hungry, you can start eating”

“I’ll wait for him,” she replied. How can I eat first?

Ten minutes later, she heard heavy footsteps approaching and looked up to see Elias tall figure. She observed that he looked refined and noble in his all-black top and off-white bottoms. He did not look like he had been cooking in the kitchen but had returned from a fashion show.

He had already eaten earlier and simply fabricated an excuse to see her. He then observed her eating with great interest. Never before have I noticed how gracefully she eats; she takes small, careful bites and chews them slowly, even when starving. When I first married her, I assumed a girl from the slums would have no table manners and might even chew with her mouth wide open. This is
