After we reached home, Christopher took the ingredients from the refrigerator and made something simple. I decided to make caramelized pork ribs to make him happy. After cooking and making sure it tasted good, I served it to him happily.
“Darling, have a taste of your favorite dish.” Christopher ignored me and started to devour the food in front of him. His hands moved swiftly and elegantly, and I couldn’t help but ask, “Did you skip lunch today?”
“I didn’t have the time, so go and make some more food for me,” Christopher ordered after he took a sip of soup from the spoon I fed him with.
“Right away.” I rushed to the kitchen at lightspeed and took out the caramelized pork ribs and fish in vinegar I had prepared previously. Those two were famous Chanaen dishes.
Christopher must have been busy with Mitchell’s affairs today, so he didn’t have time for lunch. I waited for his pace to slow down before I said, “Next time, let me know if you’ll be busy. I will deliver the food to you.”
“We’ll see.” Christopher put down his cutlery, turned his head toward me, and put his hand out. “Give it to me.”
“What?” I asked in confusion.
“The check for ten million that my mother gave you,” Christopher said casually.
Ahem… I choked on the soup, and l looked awful as I was confused. “Christopher, is there anything that you don’t know? I hid it so well,” I gasped.
“I know everything that I should know,” he said casually.
I took out the check that I wedged between the pages of a book hidden deep inside closet and gave it to Christopher. “Here, return it to Julia. I have no use for it.”
