The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 403

“I am a person. A person has life and things don't.” Annie lectured him earnestly.

Having a child in a family is like having someone who always brings joy.

On this side, the gaze of the two men met, gestured slightly, and understood each other. Before everyone’s laughter came, they already flashed towards the kitchen.

Mr. Steele was about to follow them, but being held by Olive, “Just let them go.”

They seemed to have something to say. This was what she noticed when she saw both of them exchanging gazes.

Mrs. Steele was a bit worried as she looked at the closed kitchen door, “There will be no problem, right?”

Olive laughed it off, “Could it be that you’re worried that those two grown-up men would set your kitchen on fire?”

“It’s not that bad.” Mrs. Steele said.

During the short time when Alan was here, he didn’t behave like a man from a rich family. When he had time, he would roll up his sleeves and help in the kitchen. He definitely didn’t look like a young master who never did house chores before.

As for Ivy, he is a very diligent young man. Every time he came here, he never spent his time leisurely. At that time, her parents thought that it would be nice if their daughter could end up with him.

It’s just everything could change. Nobody expected that things would turn out this way.

Of course, it’s not that Alan was not good. They couldn’t find any flaws in this man who appeared unexpectedly.

After closing the kitchen door, although they couldn’t block the noises from the living room, the conversation between both of them couldn’t be heard outside.

The duck soup that had been simmered on the stove was ready to be cooked. The vegetables were already washed and placed in the wooden fruit basket at the kitchen counter. The rest just needed to be cut and pan-fried.

They were a weird combination. The people outside couldn’t help but be curious and worried, but on the contrary, the concerned party just ignored it.

“Preparing the meal or assisting to cook, you can choose first.”

“I heard that Mr. Hoyle, you have an incredible cooking skill. It’s rare to have such an opportunity, of course, I’d like to taste it.” Ivy smiled lightly, He picked up the knife and neatly cut the shredded pork on the cutting board.

“I only know that you were good at mixing cocktails but I didn’t expect that your knife skills are also superb. I assume, your cooking skill won’t be bad either.” Alan glance slightly and brought the earthenware pot of the duck soup off the stove.

“Let’s stop flattering each other, it’s boring. I’m curious about how you found out my identity.” He had thought of it for several days, he didn’t feel that he had made a careless mistake all along.

Alan smiled lightly, “I’m just following the clue. I have to thank your friend, Dave for telling me his family name, which is a small reminder.”

No walls didn’t have a crack. No matter how tightly wrapped it was, there’s always a moment of flaw.

Alan’s cooking skill conquered Dave’s stomach. He wasn’t courteous toward everyone on the table and asked bluntly, “Mr. Hoyle, did you really cook all of these by yourself?”

“There were only two people in the kitchen. Unless you think your friend joined hand with me to fool you.” Alan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he wasn’t angry.

“Mr. Hoyle, you are really capable to attend the meetings, cook nice dishes, manage the company, clean up the internal enemy, deal with the foreign enemy, and can even put a hold on the underworld syndicate. You are an all-rounder!” Dave gave him thumbs up.

Alan smiled lightly, “Mr. Chou you’re not bad either. You can win a championship, climb Mount Everest, dating a younger woman, open a martial art gym, plan a strategy…”

Annie was at a loss as she frowned her small eyebrows, “Mommy, are we having a conference for flattery today? I’m dizzy hearing all of it.”

Chloe patted Annie’s small head as she said, “Honey, you’re really my soul mate. Both of you aren’t tired of flattering each other, but I’m tired of listening to it. I say, both of you, it’s not the first time you met, why don’t you put away your hypocrite politeness?”

In the end, she quickly scanned both the men again, and quickly added, “Well, he said that you’ve ever climbed Mount Everest, is it real?”

“I’ve even walked across Lop Nor, do you believe it?” Dave said lightly, but his pride of accomplishment was shown through his brows as if the adventure was one of his joy in life.

“I believe it.” Olive thought of the first time when she met this man. He looked travel-worn and weary, as if he’d just walked out of a primitive place that was far away from the city, and had no time to change his clothes.

Chloe said to Dave, “You really know how to go around.”

“Dave, you’re so amazing. Mount Everest is so high, moreover, it is a huge snowy mountain. You can actually conquer it. You have to know that it’s not a mountain that anyone can go as they want. As for Lop Nor, I heard that is a place of doom. Many people can’t find their way out. You’re really terrific. I want to treat you as my idol.” Mrs. Steele’s astonished smile couldn’t hide her admiration toward the youngster.

“Auntie, you’re flattering me.” Dave still acted slightly modest in front of the elders.

Annie suddenly giggled, she stretched her hands to wipe the rice grain at the corner of her mouth, “When I grow up, I want to go to the South Pole to see penguins and polar bears.”

“Fine, Daddy will go with you.” Alan was very lenient towards his daughter. Most adults would only laugh at these ideas of their children. But he thought that his daughter’s dream was very cute and he should actively support it.

Aoba also said from the side, “Then, Uncle will also go with you.”

“Okay, okay!” Annie clapped happily, then cast her eyes on Ivy with expectant, “What about you Godfather?”
