Not long after returning to Blackwell Group, Joe reported that the private chef Nevin had sent over had. been passed straight on to Phoebe’s house.

Nevin could not help but laugh in anger.

Yet there was nothing he could do about Demi.

After several busy days, Nevin finally got off work early and returned to Blackwell Villa. He saw Helga flipping through the menu Demi had left behind.

Curious, he took it and looked through it. Even the amount of salt and the exact time for high heat braising were written in detail.

It reminded Nevin of when they first got married. Back then, Demi could not cook at all.

She once tried making the simplest fried rice and ended up setting the pan on fire. When the eggs hit the pan, flames shot up and curled her bangs.

He had been so frightened that day that he forbade Demi from entering the kitchen.

After Orion was born, Demi somehow learned to cook. Her dishes slowly became colorful, fragrant, and delicious.

Nevin flipped through the thick stack of menus. Frying, boiling, braising. Everything was there.

These were all skills Demi had learned from nothing, just for him and their son.

Something stirred in Nevin’s heart. Maybe he could learn to cook for Demi too.

“Helga, do we have enough groceries in the fridge?”

After thinking about it, Nevin realized that after all these years of marriage, he still did not know what Demi truly liked to eat.

He only knew she preferred lighter flavors.

“We do.”

Helga paused, then asked, “Sir, what would you like to eat tonight?”

Demi’s notes said that meals for the seven days of the week should never repeat, and nutrition had to be balanced. Helga usually followed the order she left.

She did not expect Nevin to order a dish.

After confirming the ingredients were available, Nevin pened the first page of the menu.

“Asparagus with shrimp.”

It looked like a simple dish.

Nevin pulled out a pile of ingredients from the fridge and asked Helga, “Do we not have shrimp?”

“Shrimp…” Helga looked confused. “If you want live shrimp, sir, we would need to buy them.”

“Then go buy some,” Nevin hesitated, then said, “Buy a whole box.”

Helga suggested, “Live shrimp will die quickly. Maybe two or three pounds would be enough?”

“That works.”

Nevin found the asparagus. With no experience, he cut it into sections by instinct.

It sliced easily, with no trouble. But when he started cutting red peppers for color…

“Hiss.”

A small cut appeared on his index finger, blood welling up.

He rinsed it under the tap and kept cutting.

“Hiss.”

Whether it was because of the cut or something else, memories he had never paid attention to suddenly became clear.

Five or six years ago, Demi used to hide her hands in front of him.
