Chapter 681
Just being around Theo gave her a sense of stability, belonging, and security she’d never felt before. It was a subtle feeling
By his side, she felt like she could tease him at will.
“How’s the laste?”
His deep voice interrupted her thoughts
Ellinor came back to reality, seeing a spoonful of freshly cooked beef and tomato stew that he was feeding her. She obediently opened her mouth, ready to taste. However, before the food even entered her mouth, she felt an uncomfortable gaze Looking over to the kitchen door, she saw a line of servants sneaking peeks. Their mouths were open wider than hers, as if they were startled
Only Devin seemed relatively calm.
Feeling awkward, Ellinor smiled politely and suggested, “Why don’t you guys come in and have a taste?”
Following her gaze, Theo looked over with a cold expression.
The servants instantly became serious, waving their hands and scurrying away.
As if they dared to eat the food Mr. Blanchet cooked! They weren’t worthy!
Mr. Blanchet’s wife was really something, making the usually kitchen–avoidant Mr. Blanchet willingly cook for her.
He truly adored her!
The servants were gone, and Devin also turned to leave with a satisfied smile on his face.
Mrs. Blanchet’s return was a blessing, and Mr. Blanchet finally had a smile on his face.
God knew what a mess Mr. Blanchet was during the month or so that Mrs. Blanchet was away. The atmosphere at home was worse than hell, so suffocating that it was hard to breathe.
Now, finally, Mrs Blanchet was there to lighten the mood. How great!
With no one around, Ellinor finally took a bite of the beef and tomato stew he’d made.
He fed her another spoonful, leaning in with a smile, “So, are you satisfied with the taste?”
“For a first attempt, this is really good, but there’s room for improvement!”
His hopes for a compliment were dashed, he pretended to be displeased, pulling back the spoonful of food he was about to give her and instead began eating it himself.
Ellinor frowned, “Hey, what are you doing? Why are you eating my food?”
He snorted, “Didn’t you say it needed improvement? If it’s not good, why would you still want to eat it?”
“I’m hungry!” Ellinor complained
Theo remained expressionless and continued to not feed her.
Ellinor knew how to adapt in order to get food. She smiled, “It’s really good! You did a great job! Can I have the food now?”
Theo teasingly held up the bowl out of her reach but leaned in, his warm breath brushing her ear, “Tell me in detail, what exactly am I good at?”
Ellinor blushed, “Well, that part…”
With that, she snatched the bowl from him, quickly turning away, “It’s all mine now!”
He laughed, stopping the food fight, and allowed her to enjoy it alone.
This was his first time cooking, and she was complimenting him. He felt respected.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
Theo pulled out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, his expression somewhat heavy. He subconsciously looked at Ellinor’s reaction.
Without asking. Ellinor knew who was calling. She continued eating and rolled her eyes, “Is that Ms. Howard calling? Aren’t you going to pick up?”
