My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 134 Cooking

"Stop shouting. The chef isn’t around," Sharon came out of the kitchen as she replied.

Hunter looked at her. "Where did the chef go?"

"The chef went out for groceries in the afternoon and never came back. I called just now and found out that he got stuck on the way due to a landslide, so he won't be here anytime soon." Sharon shrugged.

Jayden blinked. "What about dinner tonight?"

"What else can we do? We have to settle it ourselves. I went to the kitchen and saw that the ingredients were all there." Sharon pointed at the kitchen.

Jayden wailed, “You mean we have to cook for ourselves?"

"Otherwise?" Sharon rolled her eyes at him.

Hunter asked, "Among us, does anyone know how to cook?"

When he asked that, everyone remained silent.

Everyone then shook their heads except Sydney.

Indeed, everyone present was from rich families. They had maids and chefs from a young age, so why would they bother to learn how to cook? Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"It’s over. I don't think we’ll have dinner tonight," Hunter touched his stomach and said with a wry

smile.

Sharon glanced at him and said, "It's all your fault.

You brought me here and I ended up with no dinner."

Hunter pursed his lips. "The chef was unlucky to encounter a landslide."

Lyra tugged on Julien's sleeve. "Julien, I'm hungry."

Julien replied, "I think there should be some snacks. I'll look for it in the kitchen. Let’s just bear with the snacks for now."

"I guess so." Lyra nodded.

The both of them went to the kitchen.

Jayden did not want to walk with Lyra, so he stopped himself from following.

Very quickly, the both of them came back out with their hands empty.

Luke laughed at them. "I thought you went to look for snacks. Where is it?"

Julien's expression was cold as he ignored Luke.

Lyra replied softly, "There’re no snacks in the kitchen.”

"Damn. They don't even have snacks? We're going to starve tonight," Hunter said dejectedly.

Luke looked at Sydney, who was next to him. "Darling, are you hungry?"

When Julien heard that, he looked toward Sydney unconsciously, with an imperceptible concern in his

eyes.

Lyra caught his gaze and clenched her fist.

"A little. How about you?" Sydney nodded.

Luke rubbed his belly and said, "I'm hungry too."

"I'll go prepare something," Sydney said.

Aside from Julien and Jayden, everyone else was shocked.

"Darling, you know how to cook?" Luke looked at Sydney in surprise.

Before Sydney could answer, Jayden answered with bright eyes, "Sydney’s cooking is amazing."

"Have you tried it before?" Luke looked at him with displeasure.

Jayden raised his chin with pride. "Of course. I've been eating her cooking for six years. From how surprised you were just now, I bet you haven't tried her cooking."

Jayden's words stabbed right through Luke’s heart.

Luke ignored him with a sullen expression and held Sydney's hand in his. "No wonder your hands felt so rough and overworked previously. When you were with the Flint family, you had to do housework and even cook? Darling, how can you be so stupid?"

“It's all over now." Sydney smiled and withdrew her hand.

Luke snorted. "You think it's over, but I don't think so. You came from a well-to-do family yourself. Why must you learn how to do housework and even cook when you join the Flint family?”

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Julien with anger in his eyes. "You must’ve been the one who told her to do all this. The Flints are the richest family in Port City. Don't you have any servants? How can you let your own wife do all the household chores and take care of your family?

I’ll never let her do any of these things, yet your family made her do all of them. This is so disgusting."

Luke had held Sydney in his heart for more than ten years. He treated her tenderly like a treasure, yet the Flint family treated her like crap.

He was simply unable to control his anger.

"Exactly. In this modern world, I can’t believe that President Flint still treats his wife like a servant. Is your family from the past?" Sharon glanced at Julien in contempt.

After that, she turned to Lyra and said, "Did you hear that? The Flint family tortures their daughter- in-law. If you marry into that family, your life will be a living hell."

Lyra bit her lip and forced a smile. "That won't happen. Aunt is a wonderful person, and I believe that they won't treat me that way." "Don't jinx it. No one knows what will happen in the future." Hunter added.

When Julien heard them mock the Flint family, even though his face was gloomy, he did not refute.

What Luke said was the truth. For the past six years, his mother did not like Sydney and treated her like a servant.

He knew what his mother did was wrong, but because he did not have any feelings for Sydney, he chose not to get involved. Even though he did not directly bully Sydney, his nonchalant behavior did not help, either.

Jayden was also silent and his youthful face was flushed.

He only wanted to show off that he had tried Sydney's cooking before. He did not expect the issue of the Flint family bullying Sydney to be brought to the table.

"I'm sorry, Sydney." Jayden bowed to Sydney in apology.

Even though he already apologized before, he wanted to say it once more.

Sydney looked at him but did not take his apology to heart. She rubbed her eyebrows. "It's fine. Get out of the way so I can go and cook."

"Sydney, can I request something?” Jayden approached her and looked at her with shimmering eyes.

Sydney's mouth twitched.

Why was this boy so shameless?

She never said that she would cook for him, so how could he make a request?

"No," Sydney replied.

Luke clapped his hands and said, "You heard her. My darling says no."

Jayden glared at Luke and looked at Sydney again with a pouty face. "Why?"

"Because we have nothing to do with each other and I have no obligations to cook for you. Your brother and sister-in-law are here. If you want to eat something, go look for them instead." Sydney pointed at Julien and Lyra and walked to the kitchen.

Luke smiled at Jayden proudly and followed her.

Sharon suddenly thought of something. She raised her hand and said, "Vice President Raines, I'll help you out. Can you make another portion?"

"Count me in! Sydney, I brought you to the hospital last time, so..." Hunter quickly said.

Sydney smiled. "Sure. Come over and help me out."

"Coming." Hunter and Sharon quickly tagged along.

The living room was left with Julien, Jayden, and Lyra. They could hear the chatter and laughter from the kitchen.

Someone said something funny and Sydney laughed

out loud.

Julien pursed his lips as he sat on the couch. When he thought of Sydney laughing in the presence of Luke and the rest, he felt somewhat irritated.

Jayden was also feeling uneasy.

Sydney would rather cook for Hunter and Sharon but not him.

Did she hate him that much?

Lyra remained silent. She lowered her head and twisted her hands together. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Very quickly, the rich aroma of food came from the kitchen.

When Jayden smelled it, he felt hungrier than he was before and his stomach started growling.

Julien swallowed as well, with his eyes darkened.

He knew that Sydney could cook because Sydney cooked for him before. Just that he never tried it nor bothered.

Little did he know that her cooking skills were this amazing. When the smell of it was already this wonderful, one could only imagine how good it would taste.

"Julien, why not we prepare something?" Suddenly, Lyra tugged on Julien's sleeve and suggested.
