Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 550



"Chloe, um..."

"Lulu, I whipped up some mango pancakes. Give them a taste!"

Chloe cut off Lucy, presenting the mango pancakes she had made.

"You made these?"

Lucy had always been keen to learn baking, but she just could not get the hang of it. She could cook up a storm, but desserts were like a foreign language to her.

Chloe acted as if it was no big deal. "Of course! I learned from a dessert chef. If I couldn't make these, I'd be pretty lame, right?"

"And you still find time to learn this with your busy job? I never have the time."

Chloe passed a dainty spoon to Lucy. "You know, I've been thinking about quitting my job. Being a dessert chef is my dream."

Lucy eagerly scooped up a bite of the mango pancake. It was soft, bursting with mango flavor. It was sweet and fragrant but not too rich.

Lucy remembered the fancy desserts she had tried at a Charleston party. Chloe's mango pancakes were just as good as those desserts made by top pastry chefs.

In no time at all, Lucy had polished off more than half of the mango pancakes.

"Chloe, these mango pancakes are as good as the ones those fancy pastry chefs make. They're super yummy," Lucy said with a smile.

"Really?" Chloe's eyes sparkled. "No one has ever really appreciated my desserts before. You're the first to tell me what you think." "Really? What about Mr. Xender..."

After she finished the pancakes, Lucy wiped her mouth.

Chloe looked a bit uneasy when Hudson came up. "He was supposed to be the first to try them, but he never actually bothered to taste any of the desserts I made."

"What do you mean?" Lucy was puzzled by Hudson's odd behavior.

"He just threw them out," Chloe said as she threw some plastic wrappers into the trash can. "It was like he was tossing out unwanted garbage without even opening it."

Chloe acted as if she were just a bystander in this story. She was cleaning up the table and chatting with Lucy as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her.

"I made him pumpkin pastries, cakes, macarons, egg tarts... I can't even remember all the other sweets. There were so many."

"How did you know he didn't eat them? And that he threw them all away?!" Lucy asked, shocked.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"It was all just a strange twist of fate. I had forgotten to tell him something after I dropped off the package that day and went back, only to see he had thrown away the specialtreat | made with so much care."

Chloe looked calm, but inside, she was really hurting. "I really thought he'd like it never imagined he'd just toss it. When I saw him throw the cake in the trash, I knew it was all just me getting my hopes up for nothing."

"Chloe, you can't think that way..."

Lucy was stuck for words, not sure how to make Chloe feel better.

Chloe gave a small smile, looking so innocent. "Lutu, let's just drop it, okay? I know him too well. I don't want to get caught in his games again it's just too tiring... Sorry for dumping all my troubles on you."

In Lucy's mind, although Chloe and Hudson did not reconcile because of her intervention, she and Chloe managed to have a good talk.
