Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 394

Was he not at home?

Nell glanced at the time. It was already 5:30 pm and he was definitely not at the company at this hour.

Then where was he?

Honestly, Nell was a bit uneasy after confessing her past to her husband, so she felt somewhat disappointed to find Gideon missing when she woke up.

Still, she was a reasonable person. She thought that he could have had some business to settle and might have gone out at the last minute.

Thus, she shook her head and let out a chuckle.

As Aunt Joyce and the maids were on leave, she decided to make her own dinner.

Nell headed for the kitchen to make a meal.

At the same time, the entrance to the kitchen, which had been closed, was opened.

After that, she saw Gideon standing there with an apron on and a wok spatula in one hand while he brandished a dish of stir-fried eggs and tomatoes on the other hand.

“Woken up? Wash your hands, it’s time for dinner.”

Nell was dumbfounded. “Haven’t you left?”

Gideon cast her a strange look. “Left? Where am I supposed to go?”

Nell stood still and saw how homely he looked in his usual shirt and an apron. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears.

She rushed towards him and wrapped her arms tightly around his body.

She buried her face affectionately into his chest and murmured, “I thought you were angry.”

The anxiety and insecurity she felt when she was alone were revealed at once.

The man curved his lips into a subtle smile as he observed his wife’s unusual adoration for him. He beamed with joy and whispered, “Don’t you want to find out how Old K died? Let’s eat first. I’ll take leave for a few days to help you investigate.”

“Really?” Nell lifted her head in surprise.

“Mm.”

Gideon wanted to hug and kiss her, but it was inconvenient as he had a wok spatula in one hand and a dish in another.

“Won’t that disrupt your work?” Nell knew how busy he was.

“No, I happen to be quite free recently.”

“Oh, alright then!”

“Good girl, go wash your hands now. We can eat once the soup is ready.”

“Okay.”

After Nell washed her friends, she realized that three dishes had been placed on the dining table. They were her favorites, stir-fried eggs and tomatoes, braised fish in soy sauce, and sour and spicy lotus roots.

Gideon was still preparing the soup in the kitchen. Nell approached him curiously and asked, “You haven’t cooked before, have you? Did you make these on your own?”

Gideon nodded and pointed at the recipe book next to him.

“I found this on the bookshelf this afternoon, so I learned to cook. Care for a taste?”

With a nod, Nell headed to the dining table. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted the stir-fried eggs and tomatoes.

She did not expect it to taste like the work of a master chef, but it was perfect for a beginner cook.

Nell exclaimed, “Delicious!”

She ate a piece of the braised fish.

She was even more surprised.

Then, she tasted a lotus root.

Mmmmm…

“Gideon, instead of doing business, why don’t you be a cook? I think you have a talent for cooking and your food tastes so good!”

The man smiled as he held a bowl of soup. “Is that so?”

“Yes, try it if you don’t believe me!”

“Alright.”

Nell picked up a piece of lotus root and was about to pass it to his mouth when Gideon ignored her hand and leaned forward to bite the lotus root in her mouth.
