To be honest, he really liked the current arrangement.
In the past, Matilda was a bad cook, but her culinary skills had improved drastically now, and that cameas a surprise to William.
After working for a while, Matilda turned around and saw that William was back. She smiled at him.“Why are you standing there? Go join the others in the living room. It’s quite smoky and oily here in thekitchen.”
He beamed gently at her. “I just want to stand here and look at you.”
This old fella finally learned how to sweet-talk at this age. She then nodded at him. “Alright then, youcan look on if you want. If you’re really bored, you can help us out too.”
To her surprise, he actually took off his coat, flung it onto the sofa and entered the kitchen. “What doyou need help with? Just tell me.”
There was nothing much for William to do. After all, the servant was quite helpful and skilled. novelbin
Matilda turned around and scanned the kitchen before gesturing at the servant to leave, telling her,
“Leave it to us.”
The servant was taken aback by the suggestion.
Earlier, she noticed that Matilda’s personality had changed. Now, even William seemed to have turnedinto a new person.
Matilda noticed that the servant was taken aback, so she tapped her on the shoulder. “You cancontinue your work out there. Leave the cooking to us. It’s fine.”
After deliberating for a while, the servant left them alone.
Matilda grabbed an apron for William. “Come here. Time to put on your battle armor.”
He accepted the apron and looked at it with a smile.
Then, he obediently put on the apron and asked, “What’s next? Give me the orders, boss.”
Matilda almost burst out laughing at his comical behavior. After that, she patted around herself andchecked her surroundings in an attempt to look for something.
Looking mildly confused, he asked, “What are you looking for?”
To that question, she laughed and replied, “I’m searching for my phone. I want to take a photo of youright now.”
He didn’t mind it, so he handed his own phone over. “Use mine to take the photo.”
So, she received his phone and took a photo of him in the apron.
Next, she stared at the photo for a bit. After some consideration, she decided to upload the photo to hisFacebook account on his phone.
His account was set to private and he did not have many friends on the site. There were only somefamily members and long-time friends.
After posting, she tapped out of the app and placed the phone back into his pocket. “Now, what weneed to do is to get these dishes done.”
He nodded cooperatively. “Alright. I’ll do it.”
They worked well together and started getting busy in the kitchen.

Then, he elaborated on his previous remark. “Before this, John was really cold and distant. After goingthrough the divorce and remarriage saga with you, he has mellowed out. Same happened to his dad.”
Still staring at the kitchen, Logan went on to say, “At first, John was a very firm and cold character. Afterthe divorce and even before the remarriage, he has clearly changed a lot and resembles nothing like
before. He has become more easygoing, talkative and friendly.”
John smiled helplessly. “Perhaps we are fated to be a family.”
