True Love Waits

Chapter 1161 Boiling Eggs

Erica hung up the phone abruptly without another word.

'Humph! Tam Wu, you bastard! Now, you want me to consider your feelings as a father? Why didn't you think of this when Ethan was born? Where were your feelings then? You lying son of bitch!' she cursed at him in her heart.

Tam called her again a few more times, but he never received a response. Having realized that it would be troublesome to contact her in the future if she blocked his number, Tam decided to leave her alone. Putting her cellphone aside, Erica asked the maid to watch over Ethan for a while because she wanted to make some hard boiled eggs for her son. She wanted to do something special for Ethan to make up for the time she hadn't been at his side.

Yes! She decided to boil eggs herself!

Although boiling eggs was a simple enough task, Erica had no idea where to even begin. After all, the life of comfort and luxury had made her complacent and unambitious.

She found a pot and poured some water in it before putting the eggs. The first two steps went smoothly. Next, was turning on the gas stove.

Just then, the maid curiously walked into the kitchen with Ethan in her arms and asked the busy woman, "Mrs. Huo, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm making some hard-boiled eggs for Ethan," Erica answered shyly.

"Please let me do it, Mrs. Huo. You shouldn't be bothering yourself with this!"

"It's fine. Don't worry. Besides, I have nothing better to do. I just feel like making some eggs."

The maid glanced at the pot Erica used and asked again, "But why don't you just use the egg-boiler? Wouldn't that be more convenient?"

Erica shook her head and refused. "I know, but I prefer using the traditional way. It tastes better anyway!"

The maid seemed amused by her answer, but she said, "I think it makes no difference. It tastes just the same to me."

"Fine, I will use the egg-boiler next time," Erica said with a smile.

"Okay."

After turning on the gas, Erica came out of the kitchen and took Ethan from the maid. "Aren't you supposed to buy groceries? You can go now."
