Chapter 150

Graham mentioned a few matters, neither too big nor too small. He said they weren't significant enough to be considered major issues, but they weren't trivial either, making it somewhat difficult for his subordinates to decide how to handle them.

At first, Winford listened distractedly, but as he listened, he paused and fixed his gaze on Graham. Graham's scalp tightened as he pretended not to notice, continuing to report.

“Graham,” Winford suddenly spoke up.

“Mr. Winford!”

“Your ability… can’t even handle these small matters?” Winford’s voice was light. “Are you deliberately reminding me that it’s time to change the people around me?”

“Not…”

As the man's gaze fell upon him, a sense of pressure enveloped Graham, who didn't even dare to lift his head.

Winford glanced at the time and got up to head back to the bedroom. Graham, in a moment of panic, instinctively stopped him, saying, “Mr. Winford—”

“Is there anything else?” Winford’s gaze was as deep as a cold abyss.

Graham’s forehead was sweating. “N–no… .”

Winford suddenly realized something; his expression darkened, and he forcefully pushed Graham away before striding towards the bedroom. He pushed open the bedroom door, and the moment he saw the empty bed, his heart suddenly felt hollow.

“Where did she go? Did she leave…?!”

A layer of terrifying gloom suddenly covered Winford’s handsome face.

“Mr. Winford!”

Ignoring Graham’s anxious voice behind him, he turned and strode down the stairs.

In just a few seconds, he had already thought about how to bring the person back and what to do with them, but suddenly…

“Honey!”

The girl’s figure was like a splash of bright color that suddenly burst into his black-and-white world.

Ophelia hadn’t even taken off her apron when she heard a noise in the kitchen. She knew that Graham was probably unable to hold on any longer, so she hurried out and ran into Winford, who was just coming down the stairs. Fortunately, she happened to finish what she was doing just at that moment! She ran over and pulled Winford toward the dining room.

“Hubby, come with me!” she said mysteriously. “There’s a surprise!”

Winford had not yet recovered from the shock of her not leaving, allowing the girl to pull him into the dining room.

A few dishes on the dining table caught his eye, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Looking at the apron she was wearing and recalling her earlier joyful and expectant expression, an unimaginable thought suddenly sprang to mind.

He tightened his voice: “This is…”

“It was done by me!” Ophelia proudly lifted her head and pulled him along.

As she approached, she saw a few dishes that could be considered quite simple compared to those made by the chef at home. She felt a bit embarrassed, worried that he might look down on them, and quickly said, “I haven’t learned for long, so it’s not easy for me to make something like this. The master chef at the hotel even said I have some talent!”

“The master chef of the hotel…?”

“Yes!” She hugged him and looked up. “Honey, I’m sorry. I have something to confess to you. I haven’t attended my elective classes these past few days; I secretly went to a hotel to learn how to cook…”

He hurriedly added, “I didn’t mean to deceive you, but this is a surprise! If I had told you in advance, it wouldn’t have been a surprise!”

Winford’s voice was slightly hoarse: “How could you think of preparing a surprise for me?”

“I had promised you before!” she said matter-of-factly.

She cuddled up to him playfully, tilting her little face up. Her beautiful eyes sparkled like the stars in the galaxy. “I have to keep the promises I made to my husband. I hurt my hand before, so I’m making it up this time.”

“I learned all the flavors you liked, dear. Did you like them?”

Chapter 150

Seeing the sincere emotions in her eyes, Winford felt a shock in his heart. He made Graham destroy the recording, and he deliberately did not ask her why she appeared at the hotel behind his back. He intentionally tried to avoid a certain possible reality…

However, he did not expect that the truth was actually like this.

“I liked it very much,” he suddenly hugged her and said in a hoarse voice.

Just four short words made Ophelia feel elated. She pulled him down to sit and said, “Then you should try it quickly!”

Winford picked up the chopsticks. Then he paused for a moment.

After a two-second silence, he asked, “Why are there only these dishes?”

The steamed pigeon, stir-fried shrimp with celery, yam and goji berry soup, and a very distinct dish of scrambled eggs with chives were served. If I remember correctly, they were all ingredients for kidney tonification.
