A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247 

Cynthia bit her lips and said embarrassedly, “Grandma Jasmine, I want to learn it so that I can cook for you in the future,” 

In fact, Cynthia wanted to cook for Liam in the future, but she felt too shy to say so in front of Jasmine 

Jasmine understood Cynthia’s implication and smiled. She was content as long as Liam and Cynthia were in a good relationship. 

They went to the kitchen, and Jasmine taught Cynthia how to make clam soup.

Clam soup was a simple dish. First, one needed to make a roux with milk, potatoes, and clam juice. Once the soup had thickened slightly, add in the seasoned clams 

Cynthia followed the steps taught by Jasmine, “Put in some pepper. 

“Okay,” Cynthia found the pepper boule and poured it into the pot. 

“Too much.” Seeing Cynthia’s action, Jasmine hurriedly reminded her, but it was too late. The seafood was already topped with an excessive layer of seasoning. 

“Then fil get some out,” Cynthia hurriedly said. 

“It’s okay. It shouldn’t matter,” Jasmine said. 

They repeated the conversation with each sprinkle. “Now, put a little salt on it Oh, no. You put too much” 

“What should we do, then?” Cynthia asked. 

“I don’t think it’s t 

that much. Let’s make do with it.” Jasmine looked at the soup in the pot and shook her head- 

Cooking the meal made her blood pressure rise. She realized that Cynthia didn’t really have a talent for cooking, but she couldn’t bring herself to criticize her when she saw how focused Cynthia was. She could only work around the mistakes and keep cooking 

Soon, a pot of clam soup was ready. It looked visually appealing but lacked taste and flavor 

Excitedly, Cynthia filled a bowl and wanted to offer Jasmine a taste. 

Jasmine could imagine the taste of it and wanted to refuse, but she worried Cynthia would be unhappy. So, she decided to come up with an excu “Leave it to Liam. After all, you learned to cook for him.” 

Cynthia blushed slightly. “Grandma Jasmine, you know.” 

“I can easily tell from your expression. Jasmine put the bowl in Cynthia’s hand aside and said, “Don’t eat it, Leave them all for Liam 

Then, Jasmine pulled Cynthia out of the kitchen and had the servant make lunch. The pot of clam soup was set aside to keep warm. 

Cynthia wanted to send the soup to Liam at noon, but she remembered his hectic schedule. She decided to save the soup for dinner because she worried it wouldn’t fill him up. 

Meanwhile, in Sullivan Group, Liam was overjoyed. He wore a warm smile all day as he reflected about Cynthia’s decision. Even when his subordinate made a flawed proposal during the meeting, he simply asked him gently to modify it. 

In the past, he would have thrown the proposal on the ground, and his cold demeanor could have chilled the entire conference room. His cheerful demeanor also infected the employees that day. 

Liam got off work on time that day. He grabbed his car keys and hurried to the underground parking lot.

Cynthia was going to throw out her morning clam soup and make a new pot. After a day of sitting, it looked unappetizing. She gathered all the

ingredients and followed the process from memory, guarding the pot carefully. 

Just as the soup was about to be served, the phone rang. She smiled at the name displayed and answered softly. “Are you finished with work? I’m still at the Sullivan residence.” 

Liam paused for a moment and then spoke in a low voice. “Cynthia, I will work late today. 

“Ah, will it be very late?” Cynthia’s excitement disappeared, her disappointment evident in her tone. “Why don’t you bring the documents back and work from home! If you work late at the office, you won’t have dinner on time.“” 

She had put so much effort into cooking the soup, so she hoped that Liam could taste it. 

“Cynthia, I’m sorry. I promise I’ll be home on time tomorrow, just for today.” Liam said.

She scooped herself a bowl and sat down at the table. As soon as she took a bite, a weird fragrance made her spit it out bitterly. “What’s in different from what Grandma Jasmine made?” 

She hastily drank many glasses of water to clear her palate.
