Luke heard the sound of rushing water. Curiously, he asked, "Boss, what are you doing?"
In his mind, Luke really wanted to say, 'Boss, if you're free, could you please come back to the company?'
Carter was holding the phone between his ear and shoulder. As he washed the dishes, he said softly, "I'm very busy. I'm washing dishes."
Luke thought he heard wrongly and said, 'What? Washing dishes?'
Boss had been living outside for the past three years. He thought that he was doing a big project without telling everyone in the Gale family. However, he was washing dishes?
Also, Carter actually knew how to wash dishes…?
"If it's okay, I'll hang up now."
Mercilessly, Luke's phone was hung up by the man who was washing the dishes.
Luke looked at his phone screen and felt ridiculous. After all this while, Boss actually went for a self-transformation project?
This man never did any house chores or even got near to the kitchen before. Now, he was washing dishes?!
God...
On the other end, as Carter just hung up the phone, Helen went into the kitchen. She hugged his waist from behind and tilted her head to look at him. She said, "Hubby, let me wash them. You must be tired after working all day."
"You've been working all day as well. Go take a break. I'm your man, and I should share the chores with you."
Helen's face blushed. What kind of husband was she married to? Carter was such a perfect man. Marrying him was probably the luckiest thing that ever happened to her.
He had a good job, was handsome, and even would share the chores with his wife.
There were many husbands who would not share the chores with their wives.
She often heard married women in the company complaining that they had to do household chores when they got back home after working. Their husbands behaved like arrogant idlers as they merely sat on the couch, watched TV, or played with their mobile phones. They did not have the intention to help them at all, not to say share the chores.
In fact, when a couple were together, the wife did not necessarily want her husband to share the chores with her. She only wanted a man with the appropriate attitude. He should not take her efforts for granted and expect all the chores to be done by the woman.
Carter obviously spoiled her very much.
Helen rubbed her face against his broad back. With a happy look on her face, she said, "Hubby, you're so nice."
With his hands that were still covered with dishwash foam, Carter pulled her wrists to bring her in front of him. Lowering his head, his black eyes looked at her scorchingly. "I don't accept verbal compliments."
Helen's face was ruddy, and she nodded her chin shyly. "... Alright."
She remembered when they just got married, she would always say thank you when Carter helped her with anything. Carter always said that he did not accept verbal compliments. Helen was naive and muddleheaded, so she did not understand Carter's tricks. She only understood what kind of repayment Carter wanted in the evening.
Actually, her body shape was not bad, but it cannot be considered as perfect. However, they have been married for three years now, and he has been sleeping with her for three years. Why did he still have so much interest in doing that with her?
When Carter saw her ruddy face, he could not help but lower his head and kiss her cheek. "Tomorrow morning, we'll send Tyler to school together. I'll drive you, so you don't have to take the crowded subway, okay?"
"It's not convenient as it won’t be in the same direction. It won't be good if you are late."
"Come on, don't turn me down."
The man's tone sounded a little coquettish. However, it was also firm that no one should deny him. Helen could not stand it when he behaved like this.
"Alright then." Helen raised her head and gave him a smile.
...
Early the next morning, Carter and Helen sent Tyler to school together.
At the kindergarten’s gate, when they got out of the car, they were met with Mr. and Mrs. White, who had a conflict with them yesterday.
The White couple was humiliated by Heaton yesterday, but that did not mean that they would be afraid of Carter and Helen, who had no power and status.
"Hubby, their son hit our Charles!"
Firstly, Mr. White subconsciously looked at the car that Carter drove. His eyes flashed with despise and belittlement.
Hmph, Volkswagen Lavida was a cheap car that only cost around a hundred thousand to a hundred and fifty thousand bucks. It looked like they could oppress them.
Chase White taunted, "Look at how poor your family is. Unexpectedly, your son studies in this foreign language kindergarten. It's really not easy for you two to live frugally to send your son to study here. However, you should educate your son properly and make him a good person. Don't let him attend become so useless despite sending him to this expensive kindergarten. It'd be such a waste for your suffering."
