Rachel Wood never thought Sebastian Brenand would one day resemble a stay-at-home husband in the past.
That was a phrase that would never be used to describe him back then.
He was never the type to do laundry or other household chores, let alone cook.
She stood by the door and silently observed him for a very long time before walking up to embrace him tightly from behind.
The simple hug instantly made both their hearts melt.
“Honey, you’re cooking,” she said.
“Yes, I’m cooking your favorite asparagus dish," he answered as he looked back over his shoulder at her. "I've already cooked stir-fried shrimps, steamed fish, and a beef stew. I’ll make a cucumber salad and oysters with garlic sauce later.
“I’ve also boiled your favorite herbal chicken soup and soaked some bird’s nests that I’ll prepare for you before bed. It's good for you and the baby,” he told her.
At that moment, Sebastian did look like a model house-husband.
Her heart warmed at the thought.
“Thank you, Honey.”
He chuckled. “You should thank me by eating more, all right?”
Rachel nodded.
A nanny walked in at that moment, blushing when she saw the couple being so intimate together.
She seemed at a loss, unsure whether to continue walking forward or back away.
Sebastian had called ahead to inform her he would be cooking personally tonight.
Furthermore, Rachel had gone to bed early, so the nanny had retired to her own room.
She didn’t realize she had slept for so long.
She intended to ask if Sebastian needed help in the kitchen at first but ended up walking into their private moment.
