Mask of the Lustful Wife (Sofia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180 Are You Trying to Kill Me? 

Sofia Schneider, after setting Nathaniel Hart’s menu, didn’t pay him any further attention. 

She wanted to cook today mainly to prepare something nutritious for Charley Hart, who had exhausted herself mentally and physically. 

So, aside from the beef stew for Older Mr. Hart the rest of the menu was designed for Charley. 

One dish was particularly complex, and Sofia put all her focus on it. 

Seeing Sofia so absorbed, Nathaniel didn’t disturb her. 

He prepared the ingredients–potatoes and simple seasonings like salt. 

Anyone who wasn’t completely inept could handle this. 

Nathaniel washed the potatoes and kitchen.

, but soon a burnt smell filled the 

Şofia smelled it and rushed over, finding the potatoes charred. 

Not wanting to discourage Nathaniel but also unable to let him continue ruining things, she gently suggested, “Mr. Hart, maybe you should rest for a while?” 

Nathaniel’s face darkened. This wasn’t what he had expected. 

Sofia saw his gloomy expression and couldn’t help feeling sorry for him. “Or maybe you could help me with something else?” 

Nathaniel looked at Sofia and realized his earlier efforts were in vain. 

“I’ll help with something else then.” 

“Mr. Hart, could you wash these for me?” Sofia handed him a bunch of lettuce. 

Nathaniel looked at the lettuce, then at Sofia, unsure if he should feel angry or just a bit defeated.

He knew Sofia was just trying to keep him occupied. 

But what else could he do? He had to comply. 

Seeing his expression, Sofia couldn’t help but laugh. 

This man, no matter his age, could be so childish. 

But this kind of childishness was rather cute..

Sofia returned to cooking. She was quick and efficient, even with the most complex dishes, making them look and taste delicious. 

As the last dish was finished, Charley drifted into the dining room like a ghost. 

Her eyes saw nothing but the food, guided solely by the delicious smell. 

Nathaniel had already called Older Mr. Hart to eat and was about to sit down when he saw Charley reaching for a plate of chicken legs. 

Older Mr. Hart huffed, “Charley, use a fork. Where are your manners?” 

Older Mr. Hart’s scolding brought Charley back to her senses. 

She obediently grabbed a fork and tried to eat the chicken leg. 

However, she was so weak from copying family rules with a quill for so long that she could. barely hold the fork. 

The chicken leg slipped from her grasp and fell onto the table. 

Charley was on the verge of tears. 

Frustrated, she cried out, “Nathaniel bullies me, Grandpa bullies me, now even you’re bullying me…” 

She just wanted to eat something. Why did she have to use a fork? 

She couldn’t even hold it properly. 

How pitiful she was, boohoo…

Charley gripped the fork again, trembling as she continued to battle with the drumstick, but she failed repeatedly. 

She angrily threw the fork onto the table and lay on the table, crying even harder. 

She was so mad. Why did she have to wake up now? Why did she come downstairs looking for food? 

She didn’t even want to eat a meal; she just wanted some bread to stave off her hunger. 

But the dishes on the table smelled so good. She just wanted a bite. Why were they bullying her? 

As Charley cried, someone held her hand. 

Charley stiffened and looked up, seeing it was Sofia holding her hand. 

Anger flared up again. If it weren’t for Sofia Schneider, she wouldn’t have been punished!
