Chapter 97
The head chef said awkwardly. “Mr. Hackett, why don’t we make two simple dishes? It won’t be able to learn
afraid you complicated dishes in such a short time.”
Hackett, however, glared at the chef. “Are you going to let my woman eat vegetable salad? Do you think she’s a rabbit?”
The head chef was speechless. He complained in his heart, “It’s already good enough that you can make salad well…”
It took Valeria nearly 40 minutes to drive to the manor. It was already dark. She had to finish eating quickly and go home to keep her baby company later.
Although she felt at ease with Ella taking care of her baby, she still had to do her duty as a parent.
As soon as Valeria got out of the car, the b
butler came to greet her
“Ms. Sharp, you’re finally here. Mr. Hackett asked me to bring you to the dining room to wait for him.”
“Waiting for him? What’s he working on?”
The butler answered truthfully. “Knowing that you were coming over for dinner, Mr. Hackett is learning to cook in the kitchen. Please wait in the dining room for a while. It will be done soon.
“Now? Learning to cook?”
Valeria was
stunned. She was only saying it casually. She did not expect Hackett to cook for real After all, he was still a patient now. How could he cook?
She was brought into the dining room by the butler. There were already three dishes on the dining table. It was obvious that they had been completed with the help of the head chef. They looked good and smelled good. She didn’t know how they rasted
The butler said. “Mr. Hackett still has one more dish. Wait a moment. If you’re hungry, you can eat first.”
“I’d better wait for him.” How
w could she have the check to eat first?
After more than ten minutes, she heard low footsteps. She looked up and saw Hackett’s tall figure.
The man wore a black shirt and beige pants tonight, looking noble and elegant. He didn’t look like he had just walked out of the kitchen. Instead, he looked like he had come back from a runway show
The maid behind him placed the last dish on the dining table and silently left the dining room with the butler, leaving them alone.
Hackett pulled out a chair and sat beside her. “Eat. You haven’t had dinner yet, right?”
The man got his cutlery, picked up a dish, and took a bite. The corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction. This dish was not bad
“I didn’t expect you to be able to cook… Valeria was indeed kind of surprised that a pampered young man like Hackett could also learn to cook.
“I made more dishes that day than I did today. Too bad you didn’t get to eat it.”
On his birthday, he got busy all day to celebrate his birthday with Valeria. However, things did not go as he wished.
Although he had only made four dishes today, it was not bad to be able to eat with Valeria.

Chapter 97
Valeria picked up a piere of fish with her fork and took a bite. How should she describe it? It was unexpected.

This dish had the taste of a chef. The chef had probably been giving instructions, but there was still too much salt….
However, for a beginner like Hackett, this was already very good
“How is it?” There was a hint of anticipation in Hackett’s dark eyes. He was looking forward to Valeria’s evaluation of his cooking.
Valeria nodded. “Not bad. It’s quite yummy, and I’m hungry now
She tried the other dishes, but it still felt like there was too much salt. Did this man prefer salty food? Couldn’t he taste the saltiness? Why did he put so much salt?
“Then eat more.”
Hackett had already eaten. He just used this excuse to see her. He was engrossed in watching Valeria eat.
In the past, he had never realized that this woman was quite delicate when she ate. She chewed carefully and swallowed slowly. No matter how hungry she was, she still maintained that elegance.
When he first married Valeria, he always felt that such a girl from the slums would not have manners. He thought now that she had lived in such an environment since she was young, she might even smack her lips when eating.
Therefore, Hackett rarely ate with Valeria before, nor did he notice how Valeria looked when she ate.
Because it was too salty, Valeria ate lots of bread.
“I’m full. I’m going home. Rest early
Valeria raised her wrist and looked at the time. It was time to go back. Otherwise, that kid would call and urge her.
sa restaurant? You want to leave
However, Hackett’s expression was cold as he looked up at her. “Do you think this is a immediately after eating?”
“So what do you want to do? It’s late. It’s inconvenient to drive in the dark. Besides, the weather hasn’t been too good these days. It could rain at any moment.”
“Watch a movie with me. I’ll get the driver to send you later.”
The man got up, grabbed her wrist, and headed out of the restaurant.
Valeria struggled to pull her hand back. “No, I still have something on. Let’s take a rain check. I don’t have time now,”
“What do you need to do? Dating other men?” Hackett gritted his teeth in anger when he thought that Valeria might go to accompany Keith.
“I… I need to work overtime. I’m busy with work.” Valeria glanced at her phone from time to time–She was afraid that the kid 群 would suddenly call.
“If you have work to do, go to the law office. Who allowed you to bring your work home? Is this how Keith Cooper acted as a leader?”
Hackett’s tone was filled with mockery and disdain.
Seeing that she could not refuse, Valeria could only compromise Then I’ll call the nanny at home, okay? Tell her not to enter my study room casually.”
“Sure,” Hackett agreed readily.
