    The head cook hesitated and suggested. “Mr. Winters, why don’t we prepare two simple dishes?


    Learningplicated dishes might take some time.”


    After hearing this, Elias red at the cook. “Do you expect my woman to eat just sd? Do you think


    you’re feeding rabbits?”


    The head cook was speechless and silently thought to himself. If only he could make a sd


    properly…


    On the other hand, it took Amanda nearly forty minutes to reach the estate, and it was already dark


    when she arrived. She had to hurry through her meal so she could get back home to her child. While


    knowing that Selina was keeping an eye on Aiden helped ease her mind, she knew that, as his mother,


    she had to be present for him.


    When she exited her vehicle, Boris greeted her, “Miss Bailey, you’ve finally arrived. Mr. Winters


    requested that I bring you to the dining room so you could wait for him.”


    “Wait for him? What is he busy with?”


    After hearing this, he answered truthfully. “Knowing you wereing for dinner, he decided to learn to


    cook in the kitchen. It won’t take long, so kindly wait in the dining room.”


    “Now? He’s learning to cook?” Amanda was astonished. I made a passing reference to it, and I do not


    expect Elias to cook. Considering that he is still recovering from his illness, how could he possibly


    cook?


    Boris then led her to the dining room, where three dishes had already been set on the table. She


    wondered how they tasted because they appeared to have been prepared with the assistance of the


    head cook, as they smelled and looked delectable. After that, he said, “Mr. Winters is preparing one


    more dish. Please wait a little longer. If you’re hungry, you can start eating”


    “I’ll wait for him,” she replied. How can I eat first?


    Ten minutester, she heard heavy footsteps approaching and looked up to see Elias tall figure. She


    observed that he looked refined and noble in his all-ck top and off-white bottoms. He did not look


    like he had been cooking in the kitchen but had returned from a fashion show.


    Afterward, the maid behind him ced thest dish on the table before leaving the dining room in


    silence with Boris, leaving the pair alone.


    Elias pulled out a chair and sat next to her, saying. “Let’s eat. You haven’t had dinner either, right?”


    After saying this, he took a bite of one of the dishes with his fork. Then, a grin spread across his face,


    and it became clear that he was pleased with his efforts in preparing this meal.


    “I never expected that you could cook…” Amanda was surprised that he had learned to cook, given.


    that he had been pampered since childhood and livedvishly.

    “I prepared more dishes that day, but you didn’t get to try them”


    On her birthday, he had spent the entire day cooking in preparation for an evening celebration with her,


    but things didn’t go as nned. Even though there were only four dishes on the table today, the fact


    that he could eat with her was a blessing.


    Eventually, she reached for her fork and sampled a morsel of fish. How should I describe it? It’s quite


    unexpected. The dish has an exquisite vor that recalls the cook’s touch. The cook most likely guided


    Elias through preparing this dish, but it is a bit too salty… Yet, considering that he is just starting out, it


    is already quite remarkable.


    “How is it?” Elias’ dark eyes held a hint of expectation as he waited for Amanda’s evaluation of his


    cooking.


    She nodded and replied. “It’s very good and quite delicious. I’m famished!” Then, she tried the other


    dishes but still found them too salty. Is this man a supertaster? Can’t he taste the saltiness? Why would


    he put so much salt?


    “Then, eat more. He had already eaten earlier and simply fabricated an excuse to see her. He then


    observed her eating with great interest. Never before have I noticed how gracefully she eats; she takes


    small, careful bites and chews them slowly, even when starving. When I first married her, I assumed a


    girl from the slums would have no table manners and might even chew with her mouth wide open. This


    is why I rarely ate with her in the past and never paid attention to her eating habits.


    Eventually, Amanda had two bowls of rice to bnce out the saltiness of the food. Tm full. I’m going


    home now. Rest early,” she stated as she nced at her wristwatch. Time to head home, or else the


    little brat would start calling if I lingered any longer.


    After hearing this, Elias’ face turned cold, and he looked at her, saying, “Do you think this ce is a


    restaurant? You just eat and leave like that?”


    “What do you want then? It’s alreadyte, and it’s dark outside. It won’t be convenient for me to drive,


    and the weather these days isn’t good. It might rain anytime.”


    “Watch a movie with me. I’ll have the driver take you hometer.” Elias rose to his feet and grabbed


    Amanda’s wrist before leaving the dining room.


    Nheless, she struggled to free herself from his grip. “No, I have something to do. Let’s do it another


    day. I really don’t have time now.”

    “What do you have to do? Are you going on a date with another man?” His anger red at the prospect


    of her hanging out with Simon.


    “I-I have to work overtime. I’m busy with work.” Every once in a while, Amanda would look at her phone


    out of nervous anticipation that her son would call.


    “You should only be busy with work at thew firm. Who allowed you to bring work home? Is that how


    Simon acts as a boss?” At that instant, Elias’ tone was full of mockery and disdam.

    Ultimately, she had no choice but topromise when she realized she couldn’t refuse him. “Then, let


    me call the nanny at home just to let her know not to enter my study.”


    “Fine.” He agreed readily upon hearing this.


    Hence, she picked up her phone and walked to the side, dialing Selina’s number.


    However, the man seemed displeased when he saw her walk away. “Do you have to hide when you


    make the call? Is your nanny a man?”


    “Could you give me some personal space? Didn’t we agree on giving me freedom? Didn’t we agree


    that you would change your lousy temper? What have you changed?” sheined because she


    could no longer tolerate his behavior. This man’s arrogance has not diminished at all.


    No words were left in Elias’ vocabry, so he said nothing.


    On the other hand, Amanda waited for a while until Selina answered the call. Then, Amanda cast a


    sneaking nce at the man behind her in case he came over to eavesdrop. “Selina, is Aiden asleep?


    You should put him to bed first. I may returnte, so please do not wait for me.” After quickly providing


    instructions, she hung up the phone, feeling nervous, as if she hadmitted a crime. Then, she


    turned to him and said, “Okay, hurry up, and let’s go watch your movie. Once it’s over, I can go home.


    Her tone was extremely perfunctory, as she doubted she could focus for even a second.


    However, Elias didn’t like her dismissive attitude and said. “If you’re going to watch a movie with me,


    watch it seriously. Don’t try to brush me off. Il test you on your thoughts about the movieter.”


    Huh? He wants to test my thoughts on the movie? Why does it feel like I’m being assigned homework


    by an elementary school teacher? “Elias! Don’t push it too far. I remember you were the one pursuing


    me, not the other way around, right?”


    “So, what?” Elias retorted, maintaining his arrogance without feeling any guilt. It seemed like this


    haughtiness was ingrained in him from birth.
