Chapter 571

Frank got up and went to the kitchen. He took off his wristwatch and handed it to Ava. Ava took the wristwatch and placed it in his pocket. Then he followed him

into the kitchen.

“All of you can leave.” A few servants in the kitchen probably felt it was about time and were about to make dinner, but Frank dismissed them.

The servants replied, “Yes, Mr. Frank .”

Ava eagerly followed behind and asked, wanting to help. “What can | do?”

He looked at the dishes at the bar and couldn’t help but click his tongue. They were so orderly. Edward even sorted the dishes. Meat dishes were placed in a row,

vegetables were placed in a row, and even the seasonings were neatly arranged.

Frank silently thought that even the vegetables washed by a disciplined person were equally disciplined.

A person’s personality could be seen from their daily habits and how they spoke.

For example, the plate in front of him was just short of being measured with a ruler. It could be seen that every dish was placed at about the same distance.

Frank averted his gaze from the bar counter and rolled up his sleeves. Ava took a bib from the hook, walked around Frank’s chest, and tied a bow from the back. He

looked up and smiled. “Done.”

“Baby Ava, go outside and wait outside.” After tying his bib, Frank chased her away.

“I’m not going. | want to see you cook. You look especially handsome when you cook.” Ava stubbornly wanted to stay in the kitchen. She smiled mischievously and

did not intend to go out.

Frank had no choice but to compromise when he encountered the determined gaze of the little girl. He allowed her to do as she pleased, but he instructed her to

stay away from him. He was concerned that hot oil might splatter on her, which wouldn’t be good if she got injured.

Frank instructed in detail again and arranged the position. “You can stand in this position when I’m cutting the vegetables. You can stand in that position when the

hot oil is in the pot.”

He pointed to a corner. It was the safest spot, farthest from the pot.

Ava was afraid that Frank would worry about her, so she nodded quickly and made an okay gesture. Obediently, she replied, “| promise to cooperate.”

Seeing her nod, Frank was relieved. He turned on the tap and rinsed the initially clean bowl again. Then he took the chopping board and cut the vegetables

skillfully. The speed at which he missed the vegetables was breakneck, making him look like a professional chef.

Everything was ready, ready to cook the first dish.

Meanwhile, Ava was not idle either. She picked up her phone and turned on the camera. She kept taking photos of Frank’s handsome posture with a blissful smile

onher lips.
