Chapter 209 What’s the Use of Having a Dad?

Later, in the kitchen of an apartment unit in Northern No. 1, Amanda was busy washing and preparing the ingredients for dinner.

It’d be too late if she waited for Selina to come back with groceries. So, she got to making dinner after finding some simple ingredients in the fridge.

Just then, the main door was pushed open, and Selina returned with groceries, accompanied by the little one’s voice. “Mommy, I want to eat shrimp tonight! I want shrimp! Miss Selina said she would make shrimp for me.”

Amanda, who was busy in the kitchen, replied without turning her head, “Alright, I’ll make shrimp for tonight.”

“Aiden, you go and play for a bit while I help your mommy make dinner, okay?” Selina said while taking off her jacket, and Aiden nodded obediently.

With that, Selina entered the kitchen with the groceries she had bought, only to find that Amanda had already started washing and preparing the ingredients.

“Why did you start without me?”

“I got bored waiting alone,” Amanda replied. “So, I looked through the fridge for some ingredients and decided to start ahead with one dish. By the way, have you gotten shrimp? Aiden wants to eat shrimp.”

“Of course. Have you told Mr. Winters? Is he coming over for dinner?”

“Um…” Even Amanda herself didn’t realize how sweet her smile was.

A chuckle escaped Selina as she continued, “You’re feeling much better now, aren’t you? No more overthinking?”

“Yeah, I do,” Amanda answered subconsciously while washing the vegetables, taking a second to realize what she had just replied to.
