Chapter 446
In the afternoon, Agnes made a special trip to the supermarket to buy some fresh ingredients.
Mamie, in her pajamas, opened the door for Agnes, yawning and asking, “What brings you here?”
She looked outside the door and asked, “Did you come alone? Where’s Jared?”
At the mention of Jared, Agnes‘ expression changed slightly.
Mamie and Ivan didn’t know about Agnes and Jared yet.
“I came by myself.” replied Agnes.
“Well, come in then.” said Mamie.
Mamie looked very tired.
Agnes knew from the news that she had just returned from a film festival and her exhausted state was understandable.
On TV, Mamie was always a flawless, aloof goddess radiating a powerful aura.
But at this moment, what Agnes saw was a woman in cartoon pajamas, with messy hair and a dazed look in her eyes.
This was a far cry from her public image.
However, Agnes preferred the real–life Mamie.
Mamie looked extremely tired, she waved her hand and said, “I won’t entertain you, make yourself at home. I didn’t sleep last night, so I need to catch some z’s now.” Agnes puzzledly asked, “Didn’t the news say you got off the plane at seven last night? How come you didn’t sleep all night?”
Mamie coughed, “Jet lag doesn’t just go away that fast.”
“But the country you went to isn’t far from us.”
“Agnes, are you trying to get me to say that Ivan kept me up all night?” Mamie blushed angrily.
Agnes laughed heartily, coaxing like a child, “Go sleep now, make the most of your time. Ivan will be back in four hours, then even if you want to sleep, you won’t be able to.”
Mamie muttered a few words, then went upstairs.
Having teased Mamie, Agnes was in a good mood.
She thought if she had the time, she might as well start preparing dinner.
Agnes started making sandwiches.
She would cook a few home–cooked dishes when Ivan came back
After finishing the sandwiches, Agnes tasted them and found they were quite good.
She rarely cooked, she had only seen Jared make sandwiches once before.
Following Jared’s secret recipe, the sandwiches turned out to be very tasty
Mamie, attracted by the aroma, had somehow managed to stand behind Agnes, “What are you making, it smells so good?”
Agnes was frightened, “You’re finally awake?”
Mamie unceremoniously started eating the sandwiches, praising while eating, “Agnes, your cooking’s good enough to run a restaurant.“.
Agnes‘ cooking skills were still far from Jared’s.
Seeing that dinner was almost ready, Agnes looked up and asked Mamie, “Ivan should be back soon, we’ll just cook a few more home dishes. By the way, Mamie, do you have any special dishes? If Ivan knew you were cooking, he’d be surprised.”
Mamie thought for a while and said, “I can only wash vegetables.”
