Chapter 642
“Tristan, you’re going to spoil me!” Sophie couldn’t help but pout. She would become pampered by his doing.
“You’re my woman, so of course I’m going to spoil you!”
Sophie took another sip of soup, nodding. “Mm-hmm. However, I think we still need to get some food. It’s not enough to just drink soup.”
“Okay. I will learn to cook more dishes next time.”
Indeed, soup was not enough.
For the next few days, Charles and Sean were called over to be lab rats as well.
Fortunately, Tristan’s cooking was not that bad. At the very least, they did not have to worry about being poisoned.
That was the advantage of being someone with a high IQ. He was capable of doing everything well.
Felix and the others stared at the braised pork ribs on the table.
They were in utter disbelief.
That was too incredible. After all, making soup was simple. He only needed to put everything in the water and boil it.
Yet this time, Tristan had cooked a plate of braised pork ribs, which looked delicious.
“Mr. Tristan, are you serious? You really want to hone your cooking skill, huh?”
If Old Mr. Lombard hears of this, he will definitely be pissed off! Charles exclaimed inwardly.
“Do I look as though I’m joking?”
No matter what he wanted to do, he would be serious about it.
Hearing that, Charles shook his head.
“To be honest, I really admire you. You said you wanted to learn to cook, and you actually did it!” Sean added.
All this because of a woman… Is she really worth it? Even now, I wouldn’t do such a thing for any woman.
Sean was impressed as well.
“All right! Cut the crap! Hurry up and give it a try!” Tristan urged. He was very passionate about cooking at the moment.
“Okay. Let me have a taste!”
They were used to eating a lot of different delicacies, so they were quite picky when it came to food.
Felix served himself a piece of pork ribs and took a bite.
It wasn’t greasy and had a perfect texture while being sweet.
The taste of the pork ribs took his breath away. Felix couldn’t help exclaiming, “Continue down this path, and you can start a restaurant soon! I mean it.”
How is it possible this kind of person exists? No matter what he does, he can do it flawlessly and perfectly.
“Is it really that good?” asked Charles while serving himself a piece of pork ribs and tasting it. After that, he went on, “Mr. Tristan, how can someone as perfect as you exist in this world?”
Sean, too, commented after giving it a try, “That’s right! It’s too much. Whatever you do, you can do it perfectly. Can you give other men a chance to live?”
They did not look like they were joking at all.
Tristan was pretty satisfied with his cooking.
“I realized recently that cooking can be quite interesting.”
After toiling away in the kitchen, he found that the moment he enjoyed the most was when he watched Sophie finish all of the dishes he had cooked.
He felt exceptionally happy whenever he saw her eat the food with relish.
That kind of happiness and accomplishment could not be obtained through other means.
“According to legend, a king would kill for a woman. Our dear Mr. Tristan, on the other hand, is willing to learn how to cook for a woman. His acts should be commended.” Felix genuinely thought that Tristan was impressive. He paused for a second and continued, “At this rate, I’m starting to fear that Ysabelle will shun me once she compares me to you.”
I’m just being nice to her. I can’t do what Mr. Tristan has done, and it is impossible to go all out. I’m really not talented at cooking at all.
“You want to compare yourself with him? Forget it. Don’t you know who he is? He’s Tristan Lombard! There’s nothing in the world he cannot accomplish!” declared Charles.
Why would he compare himself with Tristan? They’re in two different leagues!
Felix couldn’t agree more with what Charles said. Well, that’s true. Not everyone can do what Mr. Tristan did. I only have to focus on my own business, and that’s it. There’s no need to kick up a fuss over nothing. Otherwise, I will be the one suffering in the end.
Meanwhile, William was not pleased when he discovered Tristan’s recent obsession with cooking.
He had not gotten involved in Tristan and Sophie’s relationship recently.
On the one hand, Tristan would not listen to what he said, and on the other, Sophie had given him such a valuable gift, and he was embarrassed to find fault with her.
However, William couldn’t bear that his son had become obsessed with learning to cook for a woman rather than focusing on his own business.
He instructed the driver to send him to the condominium near the University of Medicine and got out of the car there. Coincidentally, he saw Sophie, who was on her way back.
He didn’t expect to bump into Sophie there, but this would work in his favor.
After all, what he wanted to say was pointless if Tristan refused to listen, so it was better for him to tell Sophie directly.
Sophie didn’t hide when she saw William. Instead, she approached him and greeted, “Old Mr. Lombard, are you here for Tristan? He should be at home at this hour. Let’s go in together.”
“I’m here to see you,” replied William.
“Well, shall we find a place to sit down and talk, then?” said Sophie politely. They couldn’t just stand there and talk.
“No need for that. I will be straightforward and tell you here. Sophie, are you going to let Tristan fool around like that? He has such a big company to manage, yet, you just sit back and watch him learn to cook? A man has a finite amount of energy. How can you let him do such a stupid thing if you truly love him?” William was very displeased at Tristan’s obsession with cooking.
He was adamant in blaming that on Sophie.
If it weren’t for her, things wouldn’t have gotten to that point.
Sophie explained, “Old Mr. Lombard, don’t you understand Tristan? Nobody can stop him from doing what he has set his mind on doing.”
Besides, Tristan is only learning to cook. Why is Old Mr. Lombard acting as though Tristan won’t manage his business and will become entirely fixated on cooking?
Instead, William responded with a frown and blurted, “Sophie, you can’t be like this. If you really want to marry Tristan, you need to think about him. Furthermore, women normally do all the cooking while men run businesses. And you, you should take care of everything in the house.”
After all, a man like Tristan should not stay in the house and cook. It’s something that I won’t tolerate!
Hearing that, Sophie was rendered speechless.
She didn’t realize that the old man was actually quite stubborn and conservative.
What kind of old-fashioned view is that? Aren’t women human? Aren’t men and women equal in this modern day? How could he still have this kind of thinking?
“Old Mr. Lombard, let me repeat myself. This is what he wants to do. I can’t think of any reason I should stop him from doing what he wants to.” Tristan did, in fact, learn how to cook for her. That was why she couldn’t be ungrateful and stop him from doing that.
“If it were Winter or Jennifer in this situation, they definitely wouldn’t say that. They certainly wouldn’t let Tristan do such things!” William snorted. That was the reason he couldn’t accept a girl like Sophie.
Sophie frowned upon hearing that and uttered, “Winter and Jennifer? What do they have to do with me?”
