Chapter 300
Mrs Sullivan entered the dining room excitedly. She was surprised to see there was only Brad in the room. She saw there were mushroom soup and waffles on the table.
“Where're the chocolate croissants?" Mrs. Sullivan asked. Then, she smiled and said, "I know.
Olivia must be in the kitchen."
There was no hiding Mrs. Sullivan's joy when she guessed that Olivia was busy in the kitchen.
She walked to the kitchen with a smile.
She had just taken a step forward when Brad stopped her. "I specially prepared breakfast for you today."
Mrs. Sullivan was surprised.
She stopped before asking, "What about Olivia? Has Olivia made the croissants?"
Brad frowned subtly and put on a gentle expression. "I asked her to rest. I wanted to prepare breakfast for you myself today."
"That means Olivia didn't make anything this morning.” Mrs. Sullivan's voice was a little cold.
She was disappointed.
She had been looking forward to the chocolate croissants Olivia promised. Her disappointment was beyond words.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sullivan could still conceal her disappointment. She tried her best not to look too disappointed.
However, she was visibly listless.
She forced a smile at Brad. "You're a considerate child."
Brad had a relaxed expression as he explained patiently, "That is what I should do. In the past, I always wanted to cook for you, but I was worried that my culinary skills were not good."
As he spoke, he scooped a bowl of mushroom soup and handed it to Mrs. Sullivan. "Please try it. It's my first time making it. It might not taste good."
Mrs. Sullivan took the bowl and took a sip.
The soup remained in her mouth. She did not swallow it.
The taste was awful beyond words.
She forced herself to swallow it and smiled at Brad. "It's delicious."
Brad's smile spread after hearing what Mrs. Sullivan said. He deliberately showed the burn on his right hand while serving the waffles. He had scalded it while making waffles.
As expected, Mrs. Sullivan exclaimed, "What happened?"
Brad retracted his right hand. He looked nonchalant. "I'm fine. I just scalded myself."
A servant was standing behind him. He immediately spoke up as instructed by Brad earlier.
"He scalded his hand while making the mushroom soup for you. It turned into a big red patch.
We asked him to rinse it with cold water first to prevent it from worsening. However, he insisted that the soup was more important."
Mrs. Sullivan nodded awkwardly.
She did not know what to say.
Brad took a glance at her. He was satisfied to see Mrs. Sullivan's stunned expression.
He was sure his gesture had touched her.
However, Mrs. Sullivan was in a dilemma.
Olivia had told her previously that Brad was immature and did not seem wise enough. She was angry to hear that and had spoken up for Brad.
Now that she heard that Brad refused to wash his injury after hurting himself while making the mushroom soup, she was not so sure anymore.
He did seem immature and unwise.
If the mushroom soup was delicious, the wound might have been worth it. However, the soup was almost inedible.
Mrs. Sullivan was deep in thought. She agreed with what Olivia said. Brad was unwise.
Mrs. Sullivan took a bite of the waffles. She did not have any expectations.
It tasted worse than she had expected. She wanted to throw up.
Mrs. Sullivan had been pleased with anything Brad gave her in the past. She gladly accepted everything.
Recently, Olivia had gifted her various precious items that were way above the standard of what Brad had given her previously.
Mrs. Sullivan could not help but compare Olivia and Brad.
A comparison was brutal.
After barely finishing a small bowl of mushroom soup, Mrs. Sullivan could not force herself to eat anymore. She smiled awkwardly at Brad and said, "I can't eat anymore, but the meal you prepared was delicious."
"Really?" Brad was pleasantly surprised. "As long as you like it."
Mrs. Sullivan said awkwardly, “Yes, I enjoyed it."
Putting down the utensils, Mrs. Sullivan hurriedly went upstairs to look for Olivia.
