Chapter 559
Sophia returned to the house. Alexander had begun cooking the garlic butter prawns, and the kitchen
was filled with a tantalizing aroma. Drawn in by the alluring scent, Sophia found herself walking toward
the kitchen doorway. She gazed at Alexander''s figure from behind, thinking about the strange things in
this world.
There was nothing Sophia could not do, except cooking.
On the other hand, Alexander could pick up any new skills easily.
I guess love is aboutplementing each other.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, Alexander turned around. “Did you get rid of her?”
Sophia nodded and walked over to him. “It smells good.”
Alexander''s eyes flicked toward the prawns. “It''s my first time trying this recipe, so it might turn out a
little saltier.”
“That''s fine.”
While observing the garlic butter prawns that Alexander had skillfully arranged on a te, Sophia could
not help but feel a subtle longing to try out the food.
Unlike Katherine, who had a deep passion for food, Sophia''s interests in food were generally moderate.
However, ever since she had been with Alexander, even a simple meal prepared by him had the power
to ignite a sense of anticipation within her, making her eagerly look forward to the next dining
experience.
It was strange, but perhaps the feeling was enhanced by the fact that she did not need to prepare her
own meal.
Alexander had ced the prawns into smaller tes and ced them on the table. “Do you want to try
them?”
Sophia blinked. “I''m going to take a photo of this for Katherine. She said she wanted to eat these but
she can''t.”
Alexander''s gaze softened. “You''re making life tough for Mr. Lewis.”
Katherine would end up pestering Joshua to make her the dish.
However, it was only the second day after Katherine had given birth. Garlic butter prawns were not
something that could be in her diet yet.
Sophia raised a brow. “Well, that isn''t my intention.”
Alexander knew that Sophia was not as dignified as she usually presented herself as. She had a cuter
side known to few people.
That adorable side of her was what made her fall for her again and again.
When Sophia lifted her head to look at Alexander, their eyes met, and she froze.
The gaze he directed at her mirrored the intensity and desire he had disyed during their intimate
moments the previous night.
Sophia blushed and cleared her throat. “Let me take a picture.”
She picked up her phone and took a few shots of the dish from several angles before sending them to
Katherine.
While enjoying her lunch, Katherine noticed multiple photos iing from Sophia. Assuming it was the
usual exchange of thetest gossip, she tapped into the messages with curiosity. To her surprise, the
images revealed the very garlic butter prawns she had been longing for over the past two weeks.
Katherine nced at the photos sent by Sophia and then shifted her gaze to her own meal. Suddenly,
her appetite vanished, and she found herself unable to continue eating.
She licked her lips and replied: Which restaurant is this? The garlic butter prawns look delicious!
As Katherine entered thete stages of pregnancy, both her growing fetus and her own body had
undergone rapid growth. The nutritionist, considering the well-being of both mother and child, had
expressed concern regarding Katherine''s ability to give birth and the potential challenges of excessive
weight gain, which could impede postpartum recovery. They had closely supervised and regted
Katherine''s diet during that crucial phase of her pregnancy.
Regrettably, as Katherine entered the mid-term of her pregnancy, her appetite had surged and
intensified further during thete stages. She had developed strong cravings for bold and vorful
foods. However, she had exercised restraint, indulging in her cravings only asionally while adhering
to a well-structured and nutritious meal n for the majority of the time. The longing for those cravings
had persisted for months, and she had been dying for the freedom to eat anything she wanted.
Initially, she had anticipated indulging in delicious meals after giving birth. However, both the nurse and
nutritionist had advised her to prioritize postpartum recovery and cautioned against consuming foods
such as garlic butter prawns. They emphasized the significance of nourishing the body during the lying-
in period.
Katherine was stuck in the hospital, and Joshua would confiscate her phone at certain times, so she
could not secretly order a takeout even if she wanted to.
Just the afternoon the day before, she had dreamed that she had a wondrous and scrumptious seafood
meal. When she woke up, she found herself drooling and she could not stop herself from sending a
message to Sophia, asking her to save her from the food cravings.
Katherine would not say that she was greedy. All she wanted was for Sophia to bring a prawn or two for
her to try out the vor.
s, Sophia was ruthless. Not only did she not bring her the food, but she even had garlic butter
prawns to tempt her good friend.
She''s no good friend of mine! Hmph!
Sophia: Alexander made them.
Katherine''s appetite instantly vanished. She ced her fork down and shot Joshua a re. “I''m done
eating!”
Joshua was confused. “What''s the matter? Is it bad?” He took a bite of the food and discovered that it
tasted quite good. “It''s not bad, Kath.”
Katherine snorted and thrust her phone into his hands. “Take a look at this! Soph wanted to eat garlic
butter prawns, and Alexander whipped them up in an instant. I want to eat them too, and I didn''t even
bother asking you to make them, yet you won''t even get them for me. You really don''t love me
anymore. I knew it! Men are heartless creatures. I''ve just had a baby, and you don''t seem to care about
me anymore. I won''t eat another bite. I''ll just starve to death!”
It had been half a year since Katherine had acted, but her acting skills were still on point. After uttering
her lines, shey back down on the bed and pulled the nket to cover her head.

Even though Joshua knew that she was only pretending to be mad, he was still afraid that she would
cry for real. “Don''t be sad. I''ll make it for you too after this lying-in period.”
Joshua was known as the devil in the office, but at that moment, he was gently coaxing his wife. If the
employees of Technology Innovations were to witness that side of him, they would be so stunned that
their jaws would drop.
Katherine remained still. Joshua pursed his lips and called out, “Kath?”
Katherine continued to sulk until Lewinn abruptly started crying. She popped her head out of the
nket, reached out for the boy, and asked, “Is he hungry?”
Katherine was about to feed Lewinn, but when she looked at Joshua, she snapped, “I''m about to feed
our son. Why are you still standing there?”
Joshua could only stare at Katherine for a while longer before turning to leave.
Even though Katherine seemed unbothered by many things, she could be very shy sometimes.
Lewinn''s crying distracted Katherine from the garlic butter prawns incident. As Katherine had just
begun producing breast milk that morning, she did not have much milk for the baby. Lewinn seemed
unsatisfied with the quantity of milk he was receiving, and that made Katherine feel distressed. The
nutritionist seized the opportunity to enlighten Katherine about how her diet could impact the baby. In
the end, Katherine pursed her lips and let out a sigh. “Fine, I''ll skip the garlic butter prawns, then.”
I''m so sad. It''s tough to be a mother!
The events unfolding in Katherine''s household remained unknown to Sophia. Alexander had finished
cooking. Although he had never attempted two of the dishes before, his culinary skills proved
exceptional. The final creations tasted just as delectable as dishes found in restaurants, particrly the
garlic butter prawns.
Perhaps it had been a long time since Sophia had garlic butter prawns. She found the prawns
delicious. In fact, she wished that the prawns were of a bigger portion.
Regrettably, Katherine can''t try out the dish. If given the chance, I, as an old friend, would have dly
brought a small portion of the exquisite dish to her. s, there''s nothing I can do about this. Katherine''s
on a strict diet.
