Chapter 952 The Gentle Kate
At that moment, Alex’s body stiffened when he saw a familiar figure walking out of the
kitchen.
Kate was carrying a bowl of piping hot fish stew from the kitchen. When she saw Alex had returned, hereyes lit up. “I didn’t expect you to be back right after I finished making dinner. I was planning to give youa call.”
Setting down the bowl of fish stew on the dining table, she untied her apron and beamed at Alex.
In that instant, she looked like a housewife, taking care of her kid while preparing dinner for herhusband, who had just gotten off work.
“Why are you standing there? Quickly try my cooking! I spent the whole afternoon making all these. Ihope you can at least try some of them so that my effort doesn’t go down the drain,” Kate said in adeliberately coy tone.novelbin
Not giving Alex a chance to respond, she led him to take a seat at the table, then spear tiny piece ofgrilled pork chop and lifted it to his mouth.
It was Alex’s first time receiving such treatment, so he didn’t know how to react as he stu the delectablepiece of grilled pork chop close to his lips.
“I spent the whole day cooking, and now I’m holding this in midair. My arm hurts. Do you really want tolet me down over a small, kind intention like this?”
Kate gave him her best imitation of puppy dog eyes and stared at him pleadingly. Any man wouldn’t beable to reject such a request.
Plus, Alex’s stomach had been growling from hunger. Despite the odd situation, he still took the grilledpork chop from Kate’s fork.
Seeing Alex eat her offering, she took a seat beside him and rested her chin on her palms as shewatched him with anticipation. “How is it? Does it taste good?” she asked.
It tasted pretty good, but Alex was curious about Kate’s change in attitude since she used to act all highand mighty like a princess.
Did her character change after she returned? She’s not only being thoughtful but is also good atcooking. It’s truly a shock.
“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s like you’re staring at some weird phenomena. Am I that scaryin your mind?” Kate asked with a pout.
Alex immediately shook his head, denying it. “Since when did you learn how to cook? You’re prettygood at it.”
“Well, it’s a long story.” Kate paused and picked up her fork again to feed Alex another forkful ofvegetables. “Don’t just talk! Eat! The issue with the tech dome must have given you a lot of stress.Well, it’s partly my fault. I didn’t know Old Mr. Grant would be so petty and divest without consideringyour feelings. I’m just an average woman without a strong background like the Grant family, so I can’thelp you much in your career, However, thinking about how tired you are after the whole day, I figure Ican at least make some warm food for you,” she grumbled.
Kate’s words touched Alex deeply. He felt warmth spread across his chest.
He was aware that Kate was a crafty person, but he couldn’t help the feelings he felt at that moment.After all, she was the first woman to cook and feed him.
Back when he stayed in the Jennings residence, he was not only tasked with taking care of his son butwas also in charge of all the household chores.
He had to pick up the child right after work and drag his exhausted body to cook for the entire family.
“What are you thinking about? Why do I feel like you have a lot on your mind? Is it work- related?” Katequestioned curiously when she caught him spacing out.
“Oh, nothing of the sort. Thank you for the food. It tastes great!” Alex complimented sincerely.
Kate laughed joyfully at his praise. Suddenly, tears began streaming down her face as she laughed.Finally, she covered her face with her hands and started sobbing softly.
“I’m glad! I feel like I’m your wife right this moment. My life feels blissful, and Emma is no longer a childwithout a father,” Kate sobbed.
A complicated feeling rose within Alex. He didn’t know what to say. Kate’s phone started ringing justthen, disrupting his thoughts.
Kate picked up the call, and Woody’s urgent voice came from the other end. “Kate, we’re on the vergeof bankruptcy!”
