Chapter 1118
Debra hung up the phone, determined to make Theda pay for hurting Marion.
โWhat are you doing sneaking around in the kitchen?โ Drakeโs voice suddenly came from behind her. Startled, Debra turned around and sulked, โDo you always sneak up on people like that?โ
โI just came to the kitchen to find something to eat. I didnโt know youโd be here making calls,โ he replied, walking past her to grab some instant noodles from the fridge.
Debra was puzzled. โDonโt you have a chef?โ
โAt this hour? The chef is long gone,โ Drake snorted, tearing open the packet. Then he noticed a white clay pot simmering on the stove, giving off a delicious aroma.
โWhatโs that?โ
โWhat else? Soup for Marion.โ
โThere are servants in this house. You donโt have to do it by yourself.โ
โMarion doesnโt like soup made by others.โ
She lifted the lid to reveal a creamy soup. Drake wrinkled his nose.
โIsnโt fish soup for nursing mothers? Is Marion on maternity leave or something?โ
โWho told you that? Itโs savory and nutritious.โ
She put the lid back on and turned off the heat, ready to take the pot upstairs.
Drake smirked, โIs that soup even edible? Itโs not some failed cooking experiment, is it?โ
Debra countered, โYouโre right. Itโs a total failure and not for you. Enjoy your instant noodles.โ
She left the kitchen without looking back. Drake looked at the noodles and suddenly lost his appetite. He put them down and dialed Kaleโs number.
Kale was ready to hit the sack when he received the call.

โOrder a takeout for me.โ
โWhat would you like to eat, boss?โ
โI want soup.โ
โWhat kind of soup?โ
โFish soup.โ
Drake hung up and tossed the instant noodles into the trash.
Debra brought the pot to their room. Marion sniffed. โLooks good.โ
โTastes even better,โ Debra said, pouring him a bowl. She blew on it and fed him a spoonful. Marion kept his eyes on her until he swallowed it.
โHow is it?โ she asked eagerly.
He smiled gently, โItโs amazing.โ
Debra muttered, โDrake said fish soup is great for nursing mothers. I donโt know if thatโs true.โ
