Her

Chapter 90 

He was instantly overwhelmed. His lips lingered on her forehead, reluctant to leave, yet exhibiting extreme restraint and endurance. 

His voice, mingled with heavy breathing, said, “You are still in school. Wait until you finish your SAT exams. It sounded like a solemn promise. 

Lea felt her face burning as she buried her head deeper into his chest, responding with a muffled “Okay” 

Alfred kissed her forehead, saying, “I’ll take a cold shower and be right back.” 

Lea nodded 

He went upstairs, and Lea took a deep breath to calm down and started cooking. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Twenty minutes later, Alfred came downstairs, drawn by the aroma of food. Following the scent to the kitchen, he saw the steam enveloping the figure of the woman who was skillfully and busily cooking. 

The smell of food! Life! Such words suddenly popped into his mind. 

Yes, this was the life he wanted. With the woman he loved, in a home that was theirs, sharing meals every day, all year round. 

Lea felt his gaze and turned around, her 

eyes 

widening 

He wore a black and blue satin robe, with half–wet hair falling over his forehead. The loosely tied robe exposed his collarbone, very eye–catching. 

Water droplets dripped from his hair onto his well–defined chest, trailing down into the waistband of his robe. He looked both noble and elegant, lazy and sexy, a natural combination 

Her mind suddenly flashed back to her past life. That man who would appear in her view from time to time, always clegant and clean. 

Back then, Lea was burdened with the name of a death row inmate, living in a world Milton had created for her. She felt unworthy of approaching someone like Alfred. 

It turned out she had been attracted to Alfred all along. It was also because she learned of his love for her just before her death. 

He made her understand that all her bad experiences and the terrible labels forced upon her were not her fault. 

She was loved. She was worthy of love. Therefore, she was able to be reborn into her current self, the real confident Lea. 

“Lea,” Alfred said with a playful smile, pulling the already open collar even wider. “It seems you really like my body. I can’t help myself if you keep looking 

Lea blushed, turning away only to find her eyes misted over and stinging. She wiped the corners of her eyes and quickly composed her expression. She cleared her throat and said hoarsely, “The food will be ready soon.” 

Alfred looked at her back, noticing her wiping her eyes. He knew what expression she must have at that moment. He replied with an “okay” before turning to leave the kitchen. 

After another ten minutes or so, Lea brought the dishes out of the kitchen, and Alfred helped her. 

With the dishes set on the table, three dishes, and one soup, the two sat facing each other. 

Alfred served Lea a plate of mashed potato, and she gave him a bowl of soup. The atmosphere was especially harmonious and warm as if they had been living together as a married couple for a long time. 

Alfred tasted a spoonful of soup, the delicious flavor spreading across his tongue. He smiled at her. “Your cooking is really good.” 

Les paused, her eyes dimming slightly. 

In her past life, after marrying; Milton, she worked hard to become a good wife and to please him. She studied cooking diligently despite her 

exhausting work. 

Every night, Lea would carefully prepare dinner, waiting for Milion to come home and eat, but he never did. On the rare occasions, he came back. But he would say he had eaten out. 

Over time, she became a great cook. Thinking of this, her gaze deepened, emotions welling up in her eyes. 

“I really want to eat your cooking every day” Alfred’s voice brought her back to the present as she looked up and met his gaze. 

Alfred smiled at her, genuinely expressing his wish and saying a cheesy, romantic line to his girlfriend. 

Lea suddenly felt that her culinary skills now had meaning, and she smiled softly. “Okay.” 

After dinner, Lea went to take a nap. When she woke up in the afternoon, it was already past six. Time to return to the Berry family’s mansion. 

Lea received a call from Jason. 

He said, “Miss Lea, hello, I am Jason, the new driver hired for the Berry family’s mansion. Can I come to pick you up now** 

“Yes” She smiled brightly. 

Jason arrived at the villa to pick her up and saw Alfred standing at the door, wearing a sexy, fitted robe in broad daylight. Even as a man, Jason blushed and couldn’t look directly at him 

A thought flashed through his mind. Did he… He actually did it 

Then, looking at Lea with pity. Yes, she’s Alfred’s future wife and must be treated well.’ 

He hurriedly got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for Lea. She frowned, wondering why the Berry family had such high standards for drivers. 

When they reached the mansion, it was close to 7 pm. The sun had set, dusk was falling, and the sky was filled with various shapes of clouds. As Lea stepped into the hall, she froze. 

It was Helen. Why was she here! 

Lea could 

d hardly believe her eyes. But it was indeed Helen. 

Helen and Matilda were sitting on the sofa opposite Christian. Helen was dressed in a cream–colored dress and had her hair braided like a gentle lady. 

Although she had lost a lot of weight, her delicate makeup and youthful features made her look dignified and gentle, the type of granddaughter Christian favored. 

Helen had indeed been released without charge and returned so quickly, completely out of Lea’s expectations but within her calculations. 

Lea’s gaze shifted to Matilda. She was wearing an elegant blue dress, looking graceful and dignified with flawless makeup. At first glance, she had regained her former glory. 

But no detail escaped Lea’s eyes. Matilda’s brows and eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and emptiness. 

This time, she had been exhausted. But she really did manage to bring Helen back without a charge! 

Lea turned to look at Christian. His eyes were red, filled with tears, but his face radiated pride. 

The release of his eldest granddaughter without charge had preserved the Berry family’s reputation. 

“You’re back. Congratulations!” Lea walked over with a smile, a hint of mischief hidden in her expression. 

The mother and daughter duo faltered for a moment upon seeing Lea, then straightened up proudly. 

Helen gave I Lea a mocking and triumphant look, unable to hide her smugness even in front of Christian. 

She had thought she was doomed this time, but in just one day, she was back, still the noble heiress and the eldest granddaughter of the Berry family 

must love thought she would either face the death penalty or be imprisoned for life. She must be so disappointed, right? 

Lea muu 

A flash of sharpness crossed Matilda’s eyes. Lea had caused her such misery this time, but it would be her turn next.
