The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz novel Chapter 11

As soon as they entered the kitchen, Bella noticed that the housekeepers who are busy preparing the shanghai looks at her.

“Mom, what did you already cooked?” Bella asks as she wash her hands.

“We just finished making desserts, mango float and fruit salad.” Ivy answered. “We also have spaghetti, that’s the kids favorite.”

“The chicken we will fry is marinated. We will also make pork steak.” Maja said.

“Tyron’s favorite is pork steak so, it is a must.” Ivy said. “We don’t even know now what to cook.”

“What ingredients do we have?” She asks as she puts on the apron Maja gave her. “Do we have vegetables?”

“Yes, we have cabbage, broccoli, carrots and beans here.” Maja said as she showed her the vegetables.

“Let’s make stir-fry chicken and pork with vegetables.” She said. “Are the kids picky with vegetables?”

“No, they will eat what is given to them.” Maja answers.

“That’s good.” She said. “Most kids nowadays don’t want to eat vegetables.”

“They are picky at first but Miguel talked to them.” Maja said.

“You are blessed with good kids.” She smiled. “Anyways, is there something special today? Why are we having a feast?” She asks making the people around her shock.

“Tyron didn’t say a word to you?” Ivy asks, frowning.

“None, mom. He just told me that we will be having a dinner that’s all.” She answers making Ivy sigh.

“So that is the reason why he said not to greet him in front of you. I thought he have something in mind.” Ivy said making her puzzle.

“Today is Tyron’s 28th birthday, Bella.” Maja said making dumbfounded. She really is clueless when it comes to her husband.

“Oh, right! Yeah… That’s today, I thought it was tomorrow.” She reasoned out. “I really messed up big time.” She added. “Do we still have pork left?” She asks, trying to divert the subject. Ivy didn’t ask anymore but she just look at her.

“We still have pork, where will you use it?” Maja asks.

“Sweet and sour pork.” She answers as she prepares the ingredients and Maja helps her on slicing the vegetables.

“I didn’t know that you can cook.” Maja commented.

“My mom taught me how to cook when I was young.” She said. “According to her the only way to the man’s heart is through his stomach. Her cooking is her secret weapon why my dad is head over heals for her.”

“Did you also got hold of Tyron’s heart because of your cooking?” Maja teased.

“No, actually, it is my first time cooking for him.” She said. “I was supposed to cook for him last week, but I was so busy.” She added.

“Oh, so that’s the reason why he wanted you to help us out here in the kitchen.” Ivy said,

“Actually, he is just challenging me, mom. He wanted me to admit that I don’t know how to cook.” She said. “He just doesn’t believe that I know how to cook.”

“Goodness, that kid, really!” Ivy sighs. “Please keep up with him.”

“Don’t worry, mom, I’m used to him.” she smiles. “In a short time of living together, I already saw different sides of him. and he really is sulky.”

“He really is, Bella. He’s the sulkiest between them and Miguel. I remember when they were still a kid, their father didn’t buy the toy Tyron wants and guess what he did. He didn’t talk to his father for two whole days.” Ivy said.

“Seriously, ma? He’s sulking for two days?” She uttered in shock.

“Yes, that’s why his father had no choice but to buy that toy.” Ivy answers making her laugh.

“I can’t believe that guy.” She slightly shakes her head.

“Bella, I have a question, I hope you will not take it against me.” ivy said making her nervous. “How did you and Tyron meet? Every time I ask him, he doesn’t want to answer me.”

“We meet each other through my grandfather.” She said the truth.

“But why did the two of you decided to get married hastily?” Ivy asks. “Don’t get me wrong, dear, it is not that I don’t like you for my son. It’s just that I am confused.”

“I propose to her on the spot, mom. It was love at first sight.” Tyron answers making them shock. He approaches Bella and slide his hand on her waist and kiss her temple. “I miss you already, wifey.” He said.

“Tyron, I’m preparing the ingredients for the pork I’m going to cook.” She said but Tyron pulls her closer to him. “I know that you miss me already but later, okay? I’ll cook something delicious for you.”

“Tyron, stop pestering you wife.” Ivy warns her son. “Go and see your brother.”

“Fine.” Tyron grunted before placing a kiss on Bella’s temple. “I’ll see you later.”

It is already nine in the evening when Bella and Tyron just got home.

“Why didn’t you tell me that today is your birthday?” Bella asks as soon as they entered the house.

“It didn’t really matter.” Tyron answer making her sigh. “Well at least now you know.” He shrugs.

“If we didn’t go to your mother’s house, I will not know it. You should have told me so that I can prepare a gift for you.” She pouts. “I just want you first birthday with me to be memorable.”

“Well, today is indeed a memorable one.” Tyron said as he pulls her closer to him. “You did surprise me with your cooking. And you being with me is enough.”

“I have a question for you.” She sternly said. “When is my birthday?”

“August 28, 1994.” He answers making her sigh. “What’s with the sigh? It’s only natural that I know your birthday, after all, I’m your husband.”
