    Chapter 195


    In the kitchen, the two of them were quietly getting on with their tasks, no longer speaking.


    As Theo beat the eggs, his gaze was fixed on the woman beside him, who was diligently at work, never


    moving away


    Dinner was ready quickly, and Elinor said to Theo. “You go ahead and take the food to the table, I’ll


    quickly pop to the loo and then join you!”


    Theo picked up the dishes and left the kitchen.


    Just then, Devin entered from outside, shocked to see Theo actually doing such chores himself. He


    quickly nced around, noticing there was no housemaid in sight!


    Those irresponsible ckers had probably gone off toze around somewhere while he was away!


    “Mr. nchet, when did you get back? Hand those over to me, you shouldn’t be doing this kind of


    stuff!”


    Theo nced at Devin, didn’t hand him anything, went to the table to put down the dishes, sat down,


    and said nonchntly.


    “You think I can’t do this stuff, but the mistress of this house can?”


    Devin was taken aback, quickly grasping his meaning, and awkwardly exined:


    “I’m sorry, Mr. nchet, my bad I just went out to water the garden, didn’t know Mrs. nchel woke up


    and wanted dinner. The maids are a bit unhappy with Mrs. nchet because of the whole incident with


    Ms nchet, so”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    With a quiet demeanor, Theo slowly straightened his shirt cuffs and said, ‘If they’re unhappy, fire them


    all.”


    Theo’s tone was calm, but there was an undeniable authority that was quite intimidating


    Devin didn’t dare to defend the maids. He could tell Mr. nchet was genuinely furious, not just bluffing


    Elinor returned from the bathroom and, noticing Devin, politely asked, “Devin, would you like to join us


    for dinner?”


    Devin was surprised ‘Mrs. nchet, you’re too kind, I’m not hungry! Uh, I still have some stuff to do;


    you guys enjoy it.”


    With that, Devin left to scold the cking servants.


    Elinor sat down and noticed a box of takeaway barbecue on the table, her eyes lighting up!


    It was her favorite barbecue!


    She asked in surprise, “Did you get this barbecue?”


    Theo was expressionless ‘Collin picked it up on his way”


    Elinor believed him and reached for a piece to eat!


    Theo said. “Is this for you?”


    Elinor shot him a re and said, “You’re eating my cooking; I’m eating your barbecue, it’s a fair trade!”


    Theo snorted chuckled and tasted the food she made it was pretty good.


    “Did you go to the hospital today?” Theo suddenly asked.


    Elinor nodded while munching on her meat. “Yep, my stepmother was injured, Collin probably told you,


    right?”


    Theo asked again. “Did you get yourself checked out while you were there?”


    Elinor frowned in confusion “Why would I check myself? I’m fine!”


    Theo said seriously, “Because of what happenedst night, you should check if I didn’t control myself


    well and hurt you”


    Elinor’s face instantly turned red, almost choking on her meat.
