My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 199

Meanwhile, Joe also took a step back the moment Cybil approached him.

"If you're sick, go to the hospital. Don't stand here and spout nonsense!"

Joe looked disgusted. "My mother's family name is Cooper, and I don't have any cousin with the family name Watson. Don't try to get close to our family. Gina, send the guest out!"

Without saying another word, Joe pulled Madison away, not showing any respect to Cybil at all.

Cybil stomped her feet in anger. Just as she was about to go after Joe, she was stopped by Gina.

"Cybil, please don't make things difficult for me."

Every time she came, Rosalie didn't like it. However, she insisted on coming on the day Madison returned home although she was not invited. After all, she was from the Cooper family, so Gina couldn't say anything.

Actually, it was fine if she came. However, Charlie went missing under her watch.

Gina could only blame herself for not having the time to check on Charlie because she had to do things in the kitchen. However, who would expect that Charlie would go missing when Cybil was around. Gina really did not know how to explain.

Cybil glared at her angrily.

Gina was just a helper. Cybil thought, 'You are just a helper. How dare you be so overbearing?'

Gina was speechless after being glared at fiercely.

She was still vexed. She did not know if Rosalie would still blame her when Charlie was found. In any case, she was extremely worried about what had happened and did not want to see Cybil at all. Even though Cybil was glaring at Gina, Gina refused to give way. She only gestured for Cybil to leave and pointed in the direction of the door.

Cybil had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

On the other side, Joe pulled Madison, and they headed straight for the kitchen.

The courtyard of the old residence was huge. The kitchen and dining room were built separately from the main living room in the garden.

"Joe, this is the kitchen, right? Do you seirously think that Charlie can hide in there?"

She tried to imagine the image of Joe hiding in this area when he was young. Not only could he hide from his elders, but he could also get food to eat when he was hungry. Joe was smart. "What are you thinking about?"

Joe saw Madison's silly smile and knew that she was not thinking of anything good. He grabbed the corner of her top, and they went into the kitchen. "What are you doing, Joe?"

Madison was forced to walk forward. Just as she was about to argue and escape from Joe's grip, Joe had already let go. She could only glare at Joe bitterly.

Joe had a calm expression on his face. "Go and show off your master chef successor's skills. You have to cook something fragrant. The more fragrant, the better!"

Madison raised her eyebrows and guessed what Joe was thinking.

However, she was also doubtful about this. "Will this... work?"

Children nowadays did not lack food. They were very picky about what they ate. Moreover, she had no experience cooking for children. The taste might not be appealing to them.

Joe seemed to have seen through her thoughts. "It's definitely right to listen to me. As long as there is fragrance, it's fine. Don't bother about the taste. You are not cooking for that brat to eat!" "Oh, alright then."NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Madison did not ask further. She took the apron and went to wash her hands.

If they wanted to lure Charlie out with the fragrance of food, the taste must be fantastic.

There was no one in the kitchen at this moment. There was only a steamer that was still working. The ingredients for the dishes were all already prepared. The helper would cook and bring the dishes out when it was time to eat. Otherwise, everything would definitely turn cold.

Madison glanced around the kitchen counter and planned to cook two dishes.

One was grilled steak. Madison's cutting skills were top-notch. Before she even grilled the steak, the fragrance from the marinade already made people start to salivate.

Then she started to grill the steak carefully, making sure it was not overcooked.

Madison then started to boil some water. When the water in the iron pot started to boil, she threw in some vegetables.

Joe did not go near Madison. He leaned against the kitchen door and watched. Suddenly, he was attracted by how Madison was cooking, and his expression became a little serious.

Although he had tasted many dishes made by his younger sister, he rarely saw her cooking in the kitchen.

He wondered how she managed to lift a heavy iron pot with her skinny arms.

His sister should have been pampered by the family. How could she suffer like that in the past?

Even a woman like Cybil Watson could bully her...

It was ridiculous.

Joe did not stare at Madison as he stopped thinking. The fragrance from the grilled steak made Joe gulp.

After realizing what he had done, an unnatural expression flashed across his face. However, after a moment, he regained his composure and walked towards Madison. It just so happened that Madison had boiled some vegetables in the pot and placed them nicely beside the grilled steak on a plate. The different colors of the vegetables made the grilled steak look more appealing.

Without hesitation, Joe washed a pair of fork and knife, took the plate with the grilled steak, and went to the side.

Madison did not bother about him. She was about to make garlic butter prawns, the second dish.

She guessed grilled steak might not be appealing to children, so she had to come up with a second dish to lure Charlie out.

Chicken stew was just right for a child.

One of them was busy at the stove while the other was busy eating. The rest of the people were looking for Charlie outside with bitter expressions.

The Daves family were strict about their family rules. Dinner was at a fixed time. Other than fruits, they could not have any snacks at noon. All children were treated equally.

At this moment, when the fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, it made people feel hungry. Everyone's mind was filled with the fragrance of the grilled steak, and they stopped looking for Charlie.

Even Rosalie who usually had no appetite, stopped in her tracks. Her stomach felt a little empty.

Ever since Rosalie fell sick, she had lost her appetite. Today, she was so worried that she did not have the mood to eat. Usually, she would only eat two mouthfuls when she was extremely hungry. Otherwise, she would not have become so thin.

The fragrance today...

Rosalie frowned. Logically speaking, Gina should be searching for Charlie too. Why did she go to the kitchen? Could it be that she had already found him?

Rosalie did not bring her phone with her, so she could only turn back from the garden and walk quickly in the direction of the kitchen.

At this moment, Madison had already made the second dish. The fresh fragrance of the chicken stew was alluring.

Madison could not help but secretly pick up a piece of chicken from the bowl. Just as she was about to eat it, a muffled child's voice came from under the table. "Are you stealing food?"

Madison paused and tilted her head to look down. Her eyes met a pair of black and bright eyes.

The child crawled out from under the table and looked at her angrily. "You're using your hands. That's too unhygienic!"

Madison looked at the child who only reached her waist. He had to raise his head to talk to her in a lecturing tone. For a moment, she didn't bother about eating the chicken. She could not help but smile. "As for me using my hands..."

Madison rolled her eyes and brought the piece of chicken to the child's mouth.

"Do you want to try it?"
