President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 661

Ladies from upper-class families had never stepped into the kitchen, let alone cooked for themselves.

The kitchen was kinda like the maids’ territory where they cooked for their master.

So they were all surprised to see Laura come in and claim that she was going to cook.

Paula saw that Laura picked up the cookbook.

She asked in surprise, "Oh Mrs. Nixon, you really don’t have to. If you want some prawn, we can make it for you."

"If you want different tastes, just let us know. We'll try to make it. You really don't have to do it yourself."

Laura looked at them and smiled.

"Oh no no no. Please don’t take this the wrong way. I like everything you guys cooked for us. It’s just that..."

She paused and something occurred to her, and the smile on her face softened.

"It’s OK. You guys. I’m gonna try anyway. I’ll tell you if I need anything."

They were relieved to know that she wasn't here because she was unhappy with their cooking skills.

Paula nodded, "Sure. Careful, Mrs. Nixon. I'll get some of the ingredients for you."

Laura nodded, "Okay, thank you."

"You’re welcome, Mrs. Nixon."

Laura asked Paula to take out the shrimps from the fridge to unfreeze them, and then she started to cook them according to the recipe.

They didn't know Laura was a decent cook, so they were a little worried and thought she would ask them to clean up the mess she made in the end.

But surprisingly, they saw that Laura seemed to know her way around the kitchen, and she was not spoiled at all.

Everyone was stunned. Laura started frying those shrimps twenty minutes after they were marinated.

Laura chatted with them as she cooked," This is a major step for this dish. The shrimps are supposed to be slightly grilled on both sides but still remained intact on the surface. It's a real test for your cooking skills."

Now that Paula knew Laura could cook, she truly admired her from the bottom of her heart.

She smiled, "Yes indeed. This is a tricky step."

Laura smiled. After she was done with the shrimps, she boiled some water.

Usually, the maids spent most of their time working in the kitchen and Laura was busy at work and rarely stay home, so they didn’t really know each other.

Therefore, they thought she was difficult to please at first, like those rich women they had served before.

They didn't expect Laura to be approachable like this.

She was not arrogant at all and never put on airs.

Everyone was surprised and liked this beautiful mistress even more.

After Laura put the grilled shrimps into a pot to simmer, she called Max to tell him to come home early for dinner.

Max knew that she finished her shooting today and she would be home, but he didn’t know she cooked.

He promised Laura over the phone and he was back before 6 in the afternoon.

Laura asked the maids to set the table for dinner.

Everything looked appetizing with a nice aroma.

They were only two people so Laura didn’t cook much so as not to waste any food.

Max just glanced at the dinner table casually.

When he saw the grilled prawn in the middle, he seemed to be a bit surprised.
