CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 438

Before Xavier could finish his sentence, he let out a miserable cry.

Because Hazel kicked him again.

This kick was even stronger than the previous one. Xavier could not hold it in and let out a scream.

Xavier hugged his feet and jumped in circles. Hazel raised her chin and stared at him. "Who is stupid?"

Xavier endured the pain in his feet and calmly replied, "I'm stupid, my lady."

Hazel sneered and turned around. She put her ear against the door and wanted to hear what was going on inside.

But the room's soundproofing was too good and Hazel did not hear anything. She could only stand up awkwardly and turn around to leave.

Inside the room.

After Hazel and Xavier left, the room immediately became quiet.

Initially, she thought that it would be very awkward with Hazel and Xavier here. However, she did not expect that she would be even more embarrassed if the two of them left.

Not only did she not know what to say, she did not even know how to wave her hands.

Emmett, on the other hand, had a calm and composed look as he slowly ate his meal.

Suddenly, Emmett asked her, "Have you always been so good at cooking?"

She was a little surprised that Emmett would praise her cooking so generously. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

However, most people who knew how to cook would feel a sense of crisis when they were praised for their cooking.

Because once others praised your culinary skills, it meant that the person who praised you had the intention of letting you cook all the time.

Alyssa did not know how to answer this question, so she said, "I always know how to cook."

Emmett did not say anything and turned his eyes to continue eating.

Alyssa had just eaten a round with Hazel and the rest. Now she was half full and did not feel hungry.

She slowly picked up some food to eat. She felt that the food was a little cold.

She stood up straight. "I'll heat up the food, it's a little cold."

Emmett did not even look up and said. "No need."

He still lowered his head and ate slowly.

Except for onions, Emmett ate everything else. In a sense, he wasn't a picky eater, either.

There were so many servants in his house and the chef was a professional. Alyssa did not think her cooking skills were that amazing.

However, whether it was Emmett in the past or the current Emmett, he seemed to like her cooking very much.

"Why do you like my cooking?" Alyssa thought and asked. Before Xavier could finish his sentence, he let out a miserable cry.

"Guess." Emmett was very serious about the word that sounded like a joke.

How could she guess?

Alyssa was too lazy to guess. She got up and took away the tableware that Hazel and Xavier had used before and then sat down in front of Emmett.

Emmett picked the dishes very regularly. According to the order, he would eat all the dishes.

Because of this, it was not easy to tell which dish he liked more.

He was a man with deep thoughts.

Alyssa thought to herself secretly that this man with deep thoughts was not deep in front of her.

Suddenly, the man sitting opposite her looked up at her. "Can you let me have a good meal?"

“What?” Alyssa did not know why he suddenly said that.

"Even if you really look forward to me staying overnight tonight, you still have to let me eat my fill first, right?" The last three words were very soft in his tone.

He said such frivolous words with such a serious expression.

If Emmett did not do it on purpose, Alyssa would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.

After Emmett flirted with her, did he find joy in her?

That was why he kept talking like this?

"Eat slowly." After Alyssa finished speaking, she stood up, turned around and went back to her room.

Emmett put down his chopsticks when he heard the door close. He looked at the closed door.

He realized that Alyssa, this woman who wanted to remarry with him, was quite interesting.

He could not tell exactly what was interesting about her.

He was just willing to say a few more words to her. He felt that the food she cooked was especially delicious. When she came to find him, he could not help but want to tease her. If she did not come, he would be a little angry.

He felt that perhaps because Alyssa kept pestering him, he also became a little confused.

Alyssa walked around in her bedroom.

After an unknown amount of time, her phone suddenly rang with a text message notification.

Alyssa picked up her phone and tapped on the text message. The first thing that entered her eyes was a string of dishes.

The last sentence of the text message was: "This is the menu for tomorrow night. I'll be back at 8: 00 o’clock."

Alyssa did not know whether to laugh or cry at his matter-of-fact tone.

Thinking back carefully, when she first met Emmett, he seemed to love eating her cooking. Because of that, the relationship between the two gradually became closer.

No matter what, this was a good sign.

Emmett did not reject her, and she had the patience to take it slow with Emmett.

Thinking of this, Alyssa's mood became exceptionally good.

She texted Emmett back. "You are not allowed to be late, or else I will take all the food and feed it to stray dogs."

At this moment, Emmett had just entered the elevator.

When he received Alyssa's text message, he sneered.

A woman would reach out for a yard after taking an inch.

It was rare for him to have the mood to reply, "You can have a try."

Alyssa received Emmett's text message and imagined Emmett's expression when he sent it.

He must be expressionless and indifferent.

Alyssa did not reply Emmett's text message. She put down her phone and opened the door. What she saw was the empty living room.

The dining room was connected to the living room. The person on the dining table was long gone. There was only the bowl and chopsticks that Emmett had eaten before.

The bowls and chopsticks were placed very neatly. It was Emmett's special habit. After eating, he would place the chopsticks and the bowl very neatly.

He would come back for dinner tomorrow night. Moreover, he had given her the "menu." Did he treat her place as a restaurant?

Alyssa hummed a song as she cleaned up the tableware.

The next morning, Alyssa was woken up by Angela.

Angela knocked on the door outside, "Mommy."

Alyssa looked at the time. It was already seven o’clock in the morning.

Last night, she had a night of intermittent dreams. It was late in the night before she fell into a deep sleep.

"I'm here." Alyssa got out of bed and went to open the door.

Angela stood at the door with her messy hair and her voice was soft, "Mommy, I'm hungry. . ."

As she spoke, she stroked her belly.

"I'll cook for you right away." As she spoke, Alyssa picked Angela up and walked towards the bathroom. "But before you eat, we need to wash our faces and brush our teeth."

Alyssa brought Angela to wash her face and opened a box of yogurt for her before going to make breakfast.

She fried the eggs and heated a few snacks.

When the two of them were eating breakfast, Angela seemed to have thought of something and pointed to the chair beside her, "Where is Aunt Hazel?"

She was still thinking about Hazel and Xavier last night.
