The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 What Can't be Learned

She puts on her apron and is going to cook for Lucien Gray but she hears Lucien Gray lying on the sofa saying, "Do you really think you're a daughter of a well-to-do family? You work very slowly. Are you lazy on purpose?"

Lucien Gray used to be ruthless but he never bothers Nina Morrison about trifles of life. Now Nina Morrison is responsible for the hygiene of the apartment. He is critical of her work.

He looks at the handrail of the stairs she has just wiped and his brow frowns, "It's not clean. You go and wipe it again!"

When Nina Morrison finishes cleaning the stairs and just wants to take a rest, he says, "Clean under the carpet."

Since Nina Morrison began to live in this apartment, he hardly ever goes to the company. A lot of things are dealt with online.

Nina Morrison feels very painful. Every day she lives under Lucien Gray's eyes and is criticized by him. It's like that Nina Morrison owes him a debt.

Nina Morrison is busy every day. She cooks and cleans the house over and over again.

Strangely enough, she does so much housework but she doesn't feel sick. The baby in her stomach seems to be very sensible to stay in her mother's stomach. She has no severe pregnancy reaction.

A few days later, when Lucien Gray comes back from the company, he brings back a thick menu and hands it to Nina Morrison who is squeezing fruit juice. "Learn the dishes on this menu. I'll invite some friends over for dinner in a few days."

Nina Morrison takes over the menu and immediately feels vexed. This recipe is very thick. There are Chinese and Western food, cold dishes and desserts. There are all the dishes in the restaurant on the menu. Sushi steak braised snails, dessert, stewed vegetables, noodles served with bean sauce, dry pot, soup pot, mandarin duck pot. There are many dishes she has never heard of.

Nina Morrison looks at the menu and bites her lip in embarrassment. "This is too much. In a few days, I can't learn it. Otherwise, you might invite your friends to a restaurant. I'm afraid I'll make you awkward because I'm not good at it."
